The nurses, Dr, CNA's, and Med Techs have all taken such good care of my precious Mom and Dad. Ms Farra Wright, Hanna, Britney, Lisa (DON) have been so helpful and made the transition alot easier for my family. My parents speak highly of them all! My brother and I are present weekly and the staff is very helpful and kind to us as well. We do ask alot of questions about their care and make requests that have always been met. I pray for a continued safe, caring, loving environment for them as their health and happiness are the most important thing to my brother and I. 🥰
