"Mom planned to stay 'just for the winter.' That winter turned into a year and a half. Being surrounded by people, enjoying good meals, activities, and a renewed sense of purpose brought joy back into her life. We are forever grateful for the love and support she received, and we'd encourage anyone who's hesitant to simply give it a try."
— Bev, Daughter of a Winter Stay™ Resident at Kinship Pointe
