I want to give a heartfelt shout out to our administrator (Shelley Johnson), our front desk team member (Kendra), and our Activities Director (Emma) for going above and beyond during my recent medical emergency. Shelley and Emma even took the time to drive after-hours to my medical appointment when I needed it the most. Their kindness, compassion, and willingness to step in during a critical time means more to me than words can express. Thank you, Shelley, Emma, and Kendra for your outstanding care and support. I’m truly grateful for everything you did for me. You made a difficult situation much easier, and I’ll never forget your generosity.

My mom is receiving great care in the second floor memory care unit. It is small and quiet. It is the perfect place for her at this stage. Rosalyn and Yolanda did a wonderful job bed bathing her and putting on moisturizer. I thought she came out of a spa. The rest of the staff is equally caring with her at this difficult time while she is bed bound.
