All of the staff was so caring for my Mom during her short stay. Little did we know that she was only going to be with you and us for 5 days. The staff quickly moved Mom to the Hospice Room, when we knew she was declining. They even moved her things, like her dresser and statues and hung pictures on the wall. You were very accommodating to us, being such a large family. They provided drinks and snacks and whatever we needed. The nurses, aides and hospice workers were very caring and attentive to Mom's needs.
