Sample family reviews
Letters from Grange Hill families
My grandmother lived here in 1971, my mother in 1998, and now my aunt. Same hill, same kindness.
Mom canned peaches every August for sixty years. Last summer she was in the Grange Hill kitchen, peeling peaches with her sleeves rolled up.
Dad doesn't know what year it is, but he still knows every word of 'Children of the Heavenly Father' in Swedish.
Ruth Ann took care of my father in 2003. Now she takes care of my mother. She remembered Dad's favorite pie.
The harvest drive is the one day Grandpa talks the whole time. He tells us which fields were his.
They labeled every one of Mom's old photographs with her. Now we have names for faces we'd never known.
Emily walked us through the KanCare application step by step. We'd been dreading it for a year.
My wife's quilt square is in this year's baby quilt. She doesn't remember making it. I'll never forget it.
Sunday dinner at Grange Hill is the best meal in McPherson. I'm not exaggerating.
When Dad passed, Pastor Brooks and three caregivers were with him. They called us first thing and stayed until we arrived.
There's always pie on the hill.
Call the office or ask for Karl by name. Most of McPherson already knows the way.
