“Our family would like to express what a wonderful staff you have at the Ark. Our brother received such wonderful care from all of the nursing staff and aides. The care and compassion that we, as family members, received was very comforting. Your staff made an unbearable situation a little more bearable. They are all very special people and we will never forget the care we received.”
