"We've been here since Pines III opened, and there's not a thing we don't like. The staff is wonderful. They do everything in their power to make us feel wanted and at home - in fact, this is home."

Ted & Joyce Thompson

"As a member of the Duluth Teachers Retirement Fund Board, John personally witnessed their investment come to life. His Stay at Pines III was fabulous. I just can't say enough. It is definitely the next best thing to being in your own home--- for some people it's even better."

Sue Mills Moriarity,
wife of John M. Moriarity

"I'm overjoyed to be here. Before I moved into Pines III, I'd leave for a short vacation and come home to a lonely house. At Pines III, I come home to many friends. Everyone is so nice. And the staff makes every effort to please you and make you feel fomfortable."

Ann E. Borken, resident

"My father, Herb Palmer, has been a resident of Pines since August 1999 when Pines III first opened its doors. The move was a family challenge, especially for a 92 year old that was living comfortably in his own home. The idea of entering an assisted living apartment did not go well with him, which appears to be a normal experience for independent seniors who have efficiently managed their lives without any serious challenges. He did however, realize he had a growing need for monitored care and chose Pines III after serous discussions with family and friends.

The reason for writing you today is to offer my thanks to the entire staff for their support and ongoing interest and comfort. Herb is receiving nutritious meals, there is always plenty to do, with scheduled activities and personal interest in each and every resident. Herb feels at home at the Pines and very  secure.

The adjacent shopping center provides the opportunity to move around, do some shopping, visit the Public Library, get exposure to younger citizens and otherwise feel you are sharing in contemporary life that is, as you know, very healthy and very positive.

I would recommend Pines III to anyone interested in sharing life's senior moments with friends and a very dedicated staff.

Best wishes and good luck. Pines indeed offers affection and character."

Sincerely,

Richard F. Palmer
