“I spent the last 45 days in the care of black bear lodge and I had an excellent stay. The staff was amazing, the food was outstanding. But I want to give a special shout out to Jessica in the Nursing, I met with her from basically day one and every day she would brighten my day and make me smile on my worst days. She was so informative on every medication I was taking. Black bear is blessed to have an employee as kind and sweet as she is and I’ll forever remember her in my recovery journey. Thank you.”
