“I'd like to give a HUGE SHOUT OUT to Brandy!! Mom had a hip replacement last Wednesday and sent home Thursday with home health PT. She's a healthy 87 year young, but still 87. I called the Heights and was lucky enough to have the phone answered be Brandy. Brandy was so helpful and took the time to reach out to a rehab hospital. She also took the time to reach out to check on us the next day. …”
