I stop by Wildewood downs about once every three months as a vendor to work with Michelle Chaney. Michelle is one of the most kind and sweetest person that I work with. Her area is always so neat and she always greats me with a smile on her face! She is a joy to work with!!

This morning while visiting my grandmother, I was truly taken in awe by her CNA, Latoya Dreher. She was so kind and gentle, showing incredible patience and understanding. Even when things could’ve been frustrating, she remained calm and caring every step of the way.
