Charter of Cleveland
4.0

My Mom is settled and content. It was a big adjustment, but now she enjoys the friendship's that she is making. She brags about the care that the girls in house-keeping give her and the assistant's that tend to her daily needs. So I say over all we made a good choice. The daily care from Housekeeping individuals and the extra care given to her by people who are giving her daily assistance. Some times the people that care and do the day to day work aren't given the credit that they deserve.
