Sandra’s family would like to express their utmost gratitude to the staff of Kennebec Manor for their care and compassion that they showed to Sandra from the moment she walked in the door. She was treated with grace and dignity and the staff was not only a tremendous support system for Sandra herself, but that also spilled over to her family as well in the last hours in her journey to God. The family wants the staff to know that this made it much easier based on your level of integrity in caring for our mother.
