Always a pleasure to visit. You have a awesome staff at the Gillespie facility. So very grateful that they had a opening when my sister needed it. I can't say enough about the entire staff at the Gillespie facility. From the director right down to the laundry ladies. Very caring understanding, and always ready to help in any way needed. Please take care of this outstanding crew.
