Annisa was a care giver to our Dad at Elmcroft. She was always so helpful to us when we had concerns or questions. She even came to the hospital to visit our Dad saying that she really liked our Dad and wanted him to know that they care for him at Elmcroft. That was the sweetest thing in our hearts. She will truly be missed by us and so many whom she has touched their hearts. Forever grateful!!!
