The staff at the Silkwood/high needs facility were so lovely and accommodating to my father for his care needs. He had later stage parkinsons and dementia and had high care needs but the staff made him feel comfortable and at ease from the get go. They were also warm and friendly towards my mother, their little dog and any family or friends that came to visit. We had total confidence in their care all the way up to my father's passing. The staff also had a lot of banta with my father which was nice to always here him laugh and they accepted him into their care when no other care provider would consider him. Thank you Regis - Whitfield
