From the moment I walked into Southern Hills I knew this was the place for Mom. Thank you for the love you gave her and sharing your memories with me. I am deeply grateful for all you have done.

I wanted to show my appreciation for all you did for mom and me...I thank each of you from the bottom of my heart for caring for her the way you did...I truly could see how much you cared for her...each of you who crossed mom's path left an impression on her heart and on mine.

I was asymptomatic. The staff worked hard to keep everyone safe by wearing appropriate PPE. The staff was very friendly and attentive while I was in isolation.

We were stranded because of a winter blizzard, met an employee at the Casey's in town and told us to follow her to the care center. Put us up in an empty room, gave us meals, and were especially nice to my daughter. Rarely have I ever seen such hospitality, especially in such dire circumstances! Truly our heroes! Thank you so much for your kindness!

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!
