March 13th marks one year since restricted visitation was mandated in Ohio. Here we are 365 days later, and we've grown even closer to our residents, caring and loving on them when families couldn't. Today as spring approaches, bringing forth new life a fresh beginning, our doors are gradually opening and we can find hope for better days ahead. #AbundantAging #GlenwoodFamily #livelovemov
In celebration of Long Term Care Administrator’s Week, we want to thank senior executive director Linda Dailey for her dedication, hard work and passion for serving our residents.
