Vio, the main caregiver, is an Angel. From the time my dad moved in, she was kind, gentle and compassionate to his needs. I am thankful for this place. We had an urgent last-minute need to find a place and God answered our prayers, as the whole staff was kind and very accommodating to our situation.
