"I visited my aunt to celebrate her birthday with the rest of the family. She looked lovely. The staff had done her hair beautifully and put makeup on her. We had dinner for eight people in an upstairs dining room. Beautiful three-course dinner with wine etc. The staff couldn't have been more attentive. They even made a birthday cake with candles and sang to her. We really could have been at our own home." - S B, Niece of Resident.
