Juanita has been with us for over 25 years. Juanita and her team of professionals will do their best to make sure our residents’ home is neat and tidy. We do ask that all resident clothing has an ‘iron-on’ label with the resident’s name on it. With up to 82 residents a day’s worth of clothing to launder, it can become difficult to identify and return unlabeled clothing! See the Admission Team for free clothing labeling services upon admission and during the stay at Emerald Care. Thank you for your support!
