“Kenneth Lee Anderson makes the experience of Diversicare fantastic. He is the guiding light here. He is always cracking jokes with the staff and singing in his room. He leads the rest of the Diversicare citizens in tap dancing and gospel hip-hop. He's a selfless warrior, and Brigitte should be honored to be getting a hunk like him. Can't wait for the marriage!”
