I want to share my experiences with The Parsons House. I have been coming here for going on 3 years now. I have to say THIS house is amazing! It is fun, clean, and safe! Derek is the E.D. He is very hands on with his residents. I was there today, I saw him sitting and being with the residents, enjoying the moment! They were having a great time. Alicia, The Director of Nursing is amazing. She always is so loving and caring. She takes time to listen and will for sure help a resident when they need it! And don't even get me started on Tamia! I hope I spelled her name right, she is the activities director! And let me say ...this gal knows her residents! She makes sure they are not only safe, but that they are having fun! She is loving. She is fun. She has compassion for people! I love this place and can't wait to come back. Also Kerri, I believe this is her name, she was there today answering the phone playing cards with the residents and even was helping me! She makes everyone feel at home! This is not just your every day place to live! This is home! Oh ! Yes! We can't forget about our gal Jasamine! If I spelled her name wrong please forgive me. She is amazing and will give you a tour of this very fun loving house! So please don't hesitate. Come inside and see for yourself!
