To the editor:

Community Memorial Health Center wants to share their appreciation to the staff, residents and community members who helped make National Nursing Home Week a huge success! The smiles and laughter make it easy to forget how terrified we were last year at this time.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs tell us that we can only enjoy life once our basic needs for survival are met. Our festivities last week were indications we are heading in the right direction.
