“Without family, friends, and our devoted staff we could have never achieved the success of Blue Hills Rest Home. The greatest gift we can give those we care for is to be in their life, as they travel to their next journey. We are all given the same amount of time in each day; each of us have choices to make, but we just made the choice to provide services to the elderly and disabled. We have truly been blessed with this opportunity to be the owners of Blue Hills Rest Home.”
