I appreciate your courtesy, and promptness in returning all my messages, and patience with all my questions. Your organization, professionalism, and support helped make our family's special day an occasion to remember with :) Also, please extend my thanks to any other "behind the scenes" staff, who helped make things run so smoothly. I received so many nice comments from our guests complimenting the beauty of Capitol Ridge, the loveliness of the room, and the delicious meal in particular. Our guests were delighted to help themselves to takeout of the leftovers...always a good sign! It also honored my Mom to have a part in hostessing this occasion in her home. She was a proud Nana :)

I want to praise the staff at Wingate on the East Side for their prompt and compassionate response to a referral that I made on behalf of a patient. They were flexible with schedules, interviews and special requests, and were very adaptable when our plans changed. I was always able to reach individuals there for questions and concerns, and they made the admissions process extremely manageable. I would like to especially mention [name removed], RN and [name removed] for their focused attention and caring.
