I want to thank Peggy for being a blessing to me. Peggy admitted me when I came to the nursing home. Her warm smile and her kindness helped me to relax. Throughout my time here she was always there with an encouraging word, smile, and a hug. I had many ups and downs with my broken leg. Some days were harder than others, but Peggy was always there to encourage me and reassure me that everything would be okay. She always knew when things were tough without me saying anything.
A couple of weeks ago I lost my mom. We were in lockdown so my family couldn't be with me. Peggy was there for me. She sat with me and helped me get through it. It was hard knowing I wasn't there with my mom.
I believe God gave me an angel to help me through my time here. I would have never made it if it wasn't for her encouragement and love. Thank you, Peggy, for being my blessing.

Peggy is the nurse we all want caring for our family members. Several residents have given her amazing compliments. One resident even said she is the best nurse he has ever had.
Peggy is often found picking up extra shifts as a floor nurse and as a supervisor. She once told me that she doesn't want the residents to suffer due to there not being enough nurses on. She treats the residents as if they were her own family member. She demonstrates this by brightening their days with items like books, frames, decorations, and participating in celebrations on the unit.
Peggy is extremely easy to work with and we all appreciate it. She is caring toward her coworkers and is always willing to give a helping hand.
Peggy is ever-growing in her skills and field of nursing and is a true DAISY Nurse.
