Annie Paselio
The William E Christofferson facility is not only an amazing place for your family to reside, but it is also a great place to work. Staff are dedicated, friendly and hardworking. There are so many activities provided on a daily basis, residents are engaged and actively participating. The leadership at this building is involved and focused on the residents overall quality of life. The facility has a courtyard with gardens cared for by the veterans and staff. There are many common areas with big windows and good lighting. I often observe the residents enjoying watching the turtles roam the yard and squirrels hang from the bird feeders. Nastolgic music plays during meals. The list goes on... this really is an amazing place for our Veterans.

Amazing facility, always clean and smells great, so many amazing therapeutic opportunities offered to the residents, I have not walked into any unit and not seen all the residents smiling. Staff are incredibly attentive, respectful, and professional. From top to bottom this facility was outstanding and I enjoyed everyday of being there.
