Testimonials

"We would like to pass on our appreciation to your wonderful staff for taking such good care of Mom. We’d like you to know how THANKFUL we are that everyone was so gracious and kind. Especially THANKFUL that your nursing staff was willing/able to work with the Nurse Practitioner in adjusting Mom’s medications over the holiday weekend. And THANKFUL that Barb and you pointed us in the direction of ADRC to find a solution to Mom being able to stay with her Plum City family. I’m looking forward to my next visit at the end of December and perhaps a stroll down the hallway with Mom with NO wheelchair!! Your staff can look forward to more mayhem on Bingo night!"
