We are a blessed community to have this facility, but without the special staff it is only a building. Everyone there – from the administration, maintenance, dietary, housekeeping, nursing and especially dedicated CNAs made her feel very safe this past year and a half in her own little "corner of the world." Each of you truly are angels here on earth. The Hoof Funeral Home is serving the family.
