We wish to thank Our House Assisted Living. Joan was loved and cared for by their amazing and excellent staff. While living at Our house, she had workers who a few became just like ‘granddaughters’. The family would also like to thank Interim Healthcare of Wausau. Their staff kept Joan comfortable with their great compassionate care.
