She took me on walks, showed me the chapel, and spoke to me like a human being she just helped me remain calm, and her upbeat energy really helped. 
Mary Grace was the biggest help during my stay. She was extremely kind. Helpful and went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and knew everything that was happening to me. She was very attentive and helped me remain calm during the scariest moments of my life. She made sure I had all my medication and kept me in high spirits. She made all the difference in my stay when I was panicking, she took me on walks, showed me the chapel, and spoke to me like a human being she just helped me remain calm, and her upbeat energy really helped.

For the first time in my life, 57 years, I was transferred to Inova from Meritus. It was all a very new and unsettling experience. When we arrived at my room at Inova – there was MG with her warm smile of welcome! She soon had me relaxed in my bed and made my stay a pleasant one – always cheerful and willing thanks, MG.

She was wonderful! She explained everything to me step by step. She was the best. If ever staying here again I hope to have her again. Thank you, Mary Grace.
