I have had the amazing privilage to visit Studley Home to share music with these residents for many years. The quality of care and professionalism is among the best in the industry. Every single time I visit, I get to play guitar in the spacious, sunlight filled, decorative , living room and see happy residents. Dawn and Shelly are an amazing team who give the residents love and compassion and fill the calendar with enriching and creative activites for the residents to enjoy. Thank you to ALL the staff and volunteers and caregivers who make Studley Home so special. You are very much appreciated❤️Keep up the great work!
