  I had a real good experience this past Sunday. I was visiting my sister who was having a respiratory attack. Staff named Cecilia, Mary, and Anthony came and got my sister set up well, gave her a breathing treatment, and before long she was all right. They did it with great kindness, compassion. It was one of those experiences that make you feel you're in good hands. Irene (in rehab) and Ashley, the social worker, have also been real stars. Ebony has shown kindness, empathy as well. Love my sis being around good folks! Skip Coulter

  I am a Resident here at Diversicare of Riverchase. I am talking today about Amanda Borden. She is a driver for residents at Diversicare. She is absolutely amazing. She cares about the people that ride with her. I have never had to wait long periods of time for her. Her ability to sync so many residents and never leave anyone alone and waiting for long. She contacts her travelers to let them know how much longer they may have to wait, if any. Amanda is a true asset to this nursing home. In my opinion, she is one of the best if not the best employees at Diversicare of Riverchase. They are blessed to have her as an employee.

  My aunt raves about Amanda Borden She takes her time to bring her food and treat her great. I love to hear that she enjoys her trips with her. It makes a difference when you listen and talk to them and not just treat them like a task. Thank you for going above and beyond!
