There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.
I came here feeling alone after losing my husband. Today I have sisters to share tea with every evening. This is my home now.
The nurses remember my medicines better than I do! I feel safe, well-fed, and — most importantly — respected every single day.
We could not care for my mother at home. Samatha welcomed her with open arms. Every visit, we find her smiling and at peace.
