Mom was there the day the Manly nursing home opened to start caring for people. The care and compassion that she received her last couple weeks was amazing - not only for her but our family. We are so grateful our mother was surrounded by such a dedicated staff.

We want to thank you all for the great care you gave Mike. As he always told us, "everyone is so nice," the food is very good" and they take good care of me." It always made us feel he was in good hands. Thanks for all you do!

Mother’s Day will be here in less that a month and I’d like to “thank you” all again for your kind, compassionate, and loving care given to my mom while she was with you. It was a relief to know she was safe and well cared for plus treated so kindly. Also, thank you for your sweet care and kindness to me and the family. All much, much appreciated. Again, many, many thanks!

My dad has been a resident at Pinnacle Specialty Care since the facility opened and has had many medical issues. He struggles with Dementia and neurological issues. He always enjoys his meals and the CNA and nurses have been very attentive to his medical needs and in helping find activities he enjoys. The music there he enjoys and tells me how much he loves living here.

The building was kept very clean, safe and welcoming. The food was better than I had expected. The staff I cannot say enough nice things about. Both nurses and CNAs were excellent caretakers.
