Dedicated people help family cope

Our family would like to express our sincere appreciation to the wonderful staff at Pharm A Save and The Village Assisted Living, both located in Granite Falls.

To John, Colleen, Lyndia and all the wonderful folks at Pharm A Save, thank you for your incredible patience, compassion and willingness to spend so much time explaining medications to our mother/mother-in-law. Also, thank you for insuring that she will get the same generic drug each time so it will look the same and not cause her confusion and anxiety.

To Sharen, Brenda, Michelle, Michael and Vicky at The Village:

Thank you for all your time, energy, compassion and dedication to not only the residents but their family members as well. Each of you have helped us through some very challenging times and have done so with patience, grace, understanding and humor. We are truly blessed to live in a community with so many people dedicated to their jobs and the individuals they serve.
