Wildewood Downs has an amazing team who helped our family transition our parents such that they could continue (and grow) their active lifestyle without the challenges of trying to maintain a home in their senior years.<br><br>Additionally, the re-hab team was instrumental in allowing our parents to recover from an accident such that they could continue to live an independent lifestyle.<br><br>Everyone we encountered on the Wildewood Team was so helpful! But, without a doubt, our parents would not be at Wildewood Downs without the dedicated professionalism and loving care provided by Courtney Willis, Priscilla Richardson, and April Sutherland. Thank you!!!
