“Our good friend Calvin Hammett stayed at your facility for 103 days. We visited him numerous times. The staff were all very friendly, cheerful and courteous. We would like to give a special shout out to Bridget Brown. She was especially helpful to Calvin and ourselves in keeping us informed and helping to make difficult decisions. Thank you again to all Joe & Shirley Bokorney”
