I don’t normally leave reviews but I wanted to give a huge shout out to Kennedy! I went to visit my grandpa and during my time there I got to meet her and you can tell she takes extreme pride in her job, the kitchen staff and nursing staff is lucking to have a such a kind hearted person! The way she interacts with the residents shows she has an amazing heart.
