Sample family reviews

Families, in their own words

The first thing I noticed was that Mama's hair was brushed and pinned the way she always wore it. They asked me how she liked it on day one.
Rhonda G.Daughter of a resident
Dad sits on that screened porch every afternoon with the Razorbacks on the radio. He says it is the best seat in White County.
Jeff W.Son of a resident
Keandra noticed Mom was quieter than usual and called the doctor. It was a urinary infection, caught early. I am so grateful.
Lisa T.Daughter of a resident
My aunt picks the zinnias every morning in summer and puts them on the supper table. It gives her a job she is proud of.
Pam O.Niece of a resident
Ten residents. I can walk in on any day and every caregiver knows exactly how Grandpa is doing.
Tyler M.Grandson of a resident
They decorated Mom's door for her ninetieth birthday with a photo from every decade. She cried happy tears.
Brenda H.Daughter of a resident
When we were deciding about hospice, Annette sat with us at the kitchen table for two hours. No pressure, just honest answers.
Carl D.Son of a former resident
