OUR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS It was very like a home, there was no

hospital smell and the staff didn’t wear uniforms, only name badges.

It was really nice how they have a candle that they light when someone in the house dies and leave it lighting until they leave the house. This helps there to not be a sad atmosphere all the time but also to allow respect for a grieving family.
