Praise for Booker Rest Home

Dear Editor,

My sister passed away last week after residing at the Booker Rest Home for the past eight months. She had lived with my husband and me in our home for nearly three years until her physical and medical requirements simply became too great.

Over the years I have visited many nursing home and care facilities and I inspected many, many more in attempting to locate a suitable facility for my sister. I settled on Booker because it was clean, the staff were friendly, and most important was that there was no smell.

My sister had a considerable number of needs which required special care. In my nearly daily interactions with the many staff members during my sister’s stay, I never had anything but positive, caring and helpful interactions with each one of them, regardless of their position or duties. In fact, their actions showed me that going the extra mile to provide the necessary care was the rule, not the exception.

The residents of Columbia County and the Touchet Valley are extremely fortunate to have such an excellent facility as the Booker Rest Home to provide the necessary care for our loved ones when the need arises.
