Our daughter Sarah entered Townview Terrace Assisted Living last spring. Kristi was so helpful, answering all our questions and welcoming Sarah warmly. When Sarah needed to go to the hospital for a med change and not doing well, it was Kristi who sat with her until we could arrive. Kristi was so very kind and caring. She will be greatly missed by the residents of Townview Terrace.
