I really don’t know what I would have done if not for this agency.” Tkay said, that to her, the best part of the whole experience of transitioning from a nursing home back to independent living was, 'having the chance to talk to someone (NHT Staff) who seemed to genuinely care'.
“She gave me confidence and encouragement when I needed it most and didn’t know I had it in me. It feels like I got my life back!”
