"Everyone of them are superheroes."

"My mother had been living in your Avamere at Pacific Ridge in Tacoma for her last years. She passed away this Friday. I wanted to let you know that we are so appreciative of your staff at this facility. Everyone of them are superheroes. They are warm, caring, loving and treat the residents there with so much respect. They were always so loving and tender with Mom. Each and every one of them should be commended. Thank you for hiring such great people!" Ruth B.
