I wanted to express my deep gratitude for the beautiful work that your staff has done for my friend (and resident), JL. Not only are JL’s needs met, but his life is also enriched by the hearts of those who serve him. While many staff members have touched Justin’s life, I wanted to specifically mention a few of the people with whom both he and I have had direct contact. —Lori (spelling?), weekend nurse on B wing —All of the gals in Activities —Grace B —Tatiana T —Aydee (Front Desk and Trust Account deposits) Thanks, Santa Rosa Care Center, for doing God’s perfect will.

Santa Rosa truly has the best staff. From the moment you walk in, you can feel how much they genuinely care about their patients. Every staff member is compassionate, attentive, and dedicated to making sure families feel supported and informed throughout the entire process. They take the time to listen, answer questions, and provide comfort when it’s needed most. I’m incredibly grateful for the care and kindness we received.
