Sample family reviews
From Hollow Creek families
Daddy ran a bait shop on Lake Norfork for thirty years. They take him to the pond every Wednesday. He doesn't catch much, but he tells everyone how to.
In the big place, Mom ate alone in her room. Here she eats at a table of twelve, and she has opinions about everyone's manners.
The same aide has been in Willow Cottage for three years. When my wife has a bad night, she knows exactly what to do.
Every Friday I get a note and a picture. Last week it was Grandma holding a cardinal feather like it was a diamond.
Tamika sat with us for two hours on the Medicaid application. I'd been dreading it for a year.
Darnell called me before the ambulance even left. Then he called again that night to check on me.
It looks like a little neighborhood, not a facility. My dad calls his cottage 'the house' and the creek 'the farm'.
There's a rocking chair with your name on it.
Bring your questions and your walking shoes. Call or text Ruth Ann, and she'll meet you at the Welcome Cottage.
