I want to highly commend the “fun squad” at the Stratford. Marissa, Michele, and Stephanie. From water balloon fights, museum trips, ice cream socials, Indian baseball games, and a tricycle mini 500 in the lobby area - these fine ladies provide a loving, creative, and entertaining environment for my mom and the other assisted living patrons. Such caring entertaining events are truly appreciated by my mother and myself. You get an A+++ in my book. Keep it up.
