"Kristine and I wish to convey our utmost appreciation for the excellent care my mother received during her two weeks of respite with you. The level of care and kindness of the staff far exceeded our expectations. This was very reassuring to all involved. Not only was the care exceptional, so were the meals. In that respect, you need to be congratulated. Please convey this sentiment to your cook. I think one would be hard pressed to find another rest home that could provide the quality of "home cooking" that Pinehaven provides.
