Just wanted to give a special shout-out to the staff at Palomino Place. They are very caring and informative to all care of my dad. My meeting with the team today about his care plan was great. The Social worker Pamela made sure all his needs were taken care of. The Ms. Wilkins and Ashley were very caring and easy to speak with. Destiny at the front desk is the best not a day goes by that she doesn't acknowledge me and my family and I love the fact that she actually gets to go visit with patients.
