We would like to extend a special Thank You to Legacy at Town Square team members especially the care staff who went above and beyond to make sure our dad was taken care of the past couple of years. He loved the activities including movies, happy hour, monthly auction, but especially Bingo.
A last special “Thank You” to Enhabit Hospice. "Lenny" especially loved Kayla his nurse but all of the team was great.
