I sing at Spearly twice a month, so I've gotten to see a lot of staff-resident interactions. I've only seen kind, respectful, and caring attention given to residents. The staff is always cheerful and helpful. When I see all the activities on the calendar for each day, it's obvious they strive to provide a variety of positive and enriching experiences. I feel like at Spearly, they really CARE about their community.

It’s tough to see a loved one in a nursing home. But I will say that this located is very central to downtown. Also some staff members really have a big heart and care for the people they are serving. God bless you all for the work that you do!
