Words for thought…. Paternalistic Ownership implied Eek! “My Residents” “Our Residents” Paternalistic

Words for thought…. Paternalistic Ownership implied “Your Residents”

Words for thought…. “My Residents” “Residents at Community Name” “Our Residents” Other phrasing ideas?

Words for thought…. Higher Levels of Care Higher Levels of Living
