Pat treats our residents as if they are her own family. She is always finding new ways to keep them engaged. She pays attention as well. If she notices any change in their behavior or in the physical well-being, she notifies a manager right away. Pat is also a team player and will assist in any area needed with a smile on her face. - Anna Bradford, Healthcare Administrator • 8 • The Pinecone | December 2021 Describe Your Family: Very Loving and always telling me how kind-hearted I am.

It is a humorous, frequently bawdy, verse of three long and two short lines rhyming aabba, popularized by Edward Lear.
