Daily Activities

Message from the Executive Director

Thank you to those of you who took the time to complete our annual satisfaction survey.  Your feedback is very important as we are committed to raising the bar for care and service.  To meet our purpose of cultivating happiness in daily life, we need to know what we’re doing right and where we can improve.  We also know that great care and services comes from residents, families, and team members communicating and supporting one another.   

We look forward to sharing the results with residents, families and our entire team with the goal of identifying themes to guide our strategic direction in 2024.

Warmest Regards,

Pamela Kulas Executive Director
