Richland Manor has always been known for having big-hearted staff members.The staff seems to always go above and beyond to help residents feel more at home.
One staff member, Flo, who is a Richland Manor nurse, goes to great lengths for the past 10 years by hosting a picnic at her home for current and former residents and their family members.
On June 11, she hosted her annual event and over 30 residents attended. Flo and many volunteers from Richland Manor made the picnic special for the guests by making spectacular dishes and desserts.
"This event is special to the residents and they always look forward to Flo’s picnic," said Liz Abel of Richland Manor.
