Just a kind word of sincere appreciation! My husband and I attended the impressive Sweetheart Valentine Dinner. The open space was cleverly converted to an adorable Bistro, Sidewalk Cafe situation. The servers were attentive and kind. The musical program was outstanding and impressive in the selections presented. To cap the evening, a photoshoot of the red car with white sidewalls provided opportunity to share the occasion with relatives and friends. As 'ancient senior citizens', with an incapacitated situation, I never dreamed my husband and I would share a "date night" again. Sayre's capable, talented staff made one more night possible for us. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

The activities team at Sayre is phenomenal, they offer an extremely wide variety of activities beyond just bingo or crafts. They have musicians come often, they have guest speakers like George Ella Lyon, Ouita Michel, and Michael Johnathan. They have an array of bible studies and spiritual activities to help the residents grow in spirit where they live, and their community outreach events like their fall festival and live nativity are a blast each year!

Things we are thankful for at Sayre!(friendship Towers) The safety of Fay Fentress, (our mom) The daily kindness from all the staff and extra help that she is given each day. The above exceptional choices of foods. Lisa and I both appreciate being able to have meals with mom, too. Doug, and all the staff are so welcoming and work hard for the residents. Chef and all cooking and serving staff go beyond measure to have great choices of foods. They are friendly and patient. (What a hard job!) Marie and Bella work tirelessly to plan and prepare wonderful activities for all the residents. (Especially focusing on their needs and enjoyment.) Brenda has been a wonderful friend to Fay. Especially in the evenings when administering her medicine. She always makes her feel special and spends her valuable time answering questions. Wesley is such a blessing to us all. It's been difficult over the years getting her to do therapy. She loves and trust Wesley. We appreciate his patience with her. Not to forget Bill and Colleen. The first we see as we walk in the door. Jack Earl, our dog is even welcomed with pats on his head and bones! Leslie has been a source of comfort and is always there for us and our questions. I know I'm forgetting so many that make our lives better and secure. We truly are blessed to have Sayre Christian as our extended family. We've been caregiving for three family members over the past ten years. We have experienced 4 wonderful facililities. We have found that Sayre is home for each of us as a family. Fay loves her apartment. It is always clean. Thank you to those who make sure her living space is clean and healthy. Caregiving is hard on a good day. Thank you, to everyone that make our everyday life more manageable. In Him, Bruce and Lisa Fentress

Friendship Towers at Sayre Village was just what I needed when I lost all feeling in both feet and hands due to chemo-induced extremeneuropathy. As my feeling slowly returns, the Resident Assistants and dining room servers continue to kindly help me with basic tasks I cannot yet do on my own. They encourage me daily in the progress I’ve made since moving here eleven months ago. The friendships I’ve made with staff and other residents have made my situation so much more tolerable. I’m fortunate to be part of a caring community.
