Sample family reviews
Letters to the editor
Dad is a retired first sergeant and he does not hand out compliments. He told me the night shift here 'runs a tight ship.' That's the highest praise I've ever heard him give.
Helen spent three afternoons on Mom's Aid & Attendance paperwork. The pension now covers a real part of her rent.
We're stationed in Germany. Marcus sets up a video call every Sunday and makes sure Mom has her glasses on and her hair done.
I came for the apartment and stayed for Friday coffee. Forty years since Vietnam and I finally found guys who want to talk about it.
Gloria noticed Mom was confused one morning, checked for an infection and called the doctor before lunch. She was back to herself in two days.
The price on our first tour sheet is the price we pay. No surprises in three years.
Mom planted zinnias in the garden club bed in May and brought me a bouquet every week all summer.
Pull up a chair. The coffee's on.
Call or text Denise to schedule a visit. Family overseas can book a video tour any weekday.
