Following my visit to see my mother for the first time in three months [due to Covid], I am pleased to have encountered calm and friendly professionalism. I have been a devoted fan of your brilliant staff ever since my mother moved to Mills Meadow and my visit served to deepen my admiration and respect for the work that you do. Thank you for everything.
