Dear Residents, Families & Friends,We have had such a mild winter, yet I am happy to see spring arriving. Soon the trees and flowers will be blooming and before you know it we will be out there planting the gardens.

Please be sure to join us for a fun family night on March 16th. We will be celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with assorted green deserts and entertainment. Don’t get caught without your green on. There are many more exciting events this month and you all are always welcome. Please be sure to check out the calendar and plan ahead.

As always, family and friends are welcome to join their loved ones for lunch or dinner. We kindly ask that you give us 24 hour notice so we may reserve the private dining room for you. We want to make sure everyone has an enjoyable dining experience.

So many of your express your gratitude when an associate has gone above and beyond to help in some way, which is always great to hear. The best way you can thank us is to put a positive review online. You can go to caring.com or senioradvisor.com. It would be greatly appreciated.

We are so blessed to serve all our residents & families.

Sincerely,Dee MiddlestetterExecutive Director
