I can't say enough about the staff! The P/T staff were incredible and so helpful. They really worked my butt off with outstanding results. The kitchen staff prepared the most amazing meals. I loved all the aides that helped out, you all really go the extra mile for everyone. I really want to thank all the employees at Avoca [Specialty Care]. They even let you have your family dog visit. Thanks again and I'll see you all soon to come back and polish nails for residents.

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 was very impressed with the quality of the facility and especially the kind and caring staff that I met there. It was a pleasant experience to see your Mom at that fine, well-equipped, immaculately clean, modern facility. Your Mom looked better than I can remember seeing her in the past several years. A huge plus!

We would like to thank your staff for the compassionate care you all gave Marie during her final months. Not only did you help her, but also us. Being available if there were any concerns, giving comfort to our hearts knowing that she was being well taken care of, helping us spiritually and making the transition much easier for all of us.

Mother’s Day will be here in less that a month and I’d like to “thank you” all again for your kind, compassionate, and loving care given to my mom while she was with you. It was a relief to know she was safe and well cared for plus treated so kindly. Also, thank you for your sweet care and kindness to me and the family. All much, much appreciated. Again, many, many thanks!
