Thank you so very much for taking your time and initiative to help Dad and I find a way to keep Mom in your wonderful facility. You didn't have to help us. Many other facilities would have kicked Mom out for inability to pay. Your compassion and knowledge is infinite and we are forever grateful. Mom is thriving with the exceptional care she is receiving there.

I want to thank you for the great care for my sister for many years. Everyone there was always friendly to me and helpful. I wished I had (have) lived closer than two hours to visit her more.

I wish to express my personal satisfaction for the excellent care I received at Southridge. Your staff was great. The rehab team was also great. They were all very professional and we obviously interested in my recovery.

Best wishes!

Words can not express how grateful I am for all of you who have cared for Susan in the last few months. She loved you all. Thank you for everything.

Thank you so very much for everything you did to care for XXXXX. Thank you also for the compassion you showed to me and my family during our final days with him. I don't know how I would have gotten through it without you all. XXXXX gave you some interesting days and you handled it with professionalism and compassion. I always felt respected. So many staff are now friends. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!
