Denice goes over and above the call of duty every day and demonstrates her concern with handicrafts created for residents and sweet treats from her kitchen. Her regard is not limited to residents. She provides baked goods, fresh fruits and vegetables to coworkers and friends. Denice has been mentioned many times on our Pinnacle customer satisfaction reports.
