"Diane E. Donahue is the best manager I ever had. I worked with Diane for more than 7 years. The facility has an Activity Department with excellent reputation because of her. She is very resourceful and at the same time she welcomes suggestions from her staff and does not fail to praise them for their effort. Diane has a very big compassionate heart not only to the Residents but to her staff as well. She works with the calendar of activities in advance in order to have room for changes and corrections. Our Residents have a day full of meaningful programs that they can choose from. She sees to it that all activity aspects of the each Resident's life is being catered: physical, spiritual, cultural, emotional, social, mental, etc. Anyone who hire or will work with Diane will be lucky because she will teach you generously on how to document Resident's progress, care planning, handling programs and dealing with behaviors to mention a few. She has the knowledge and confidence that an Activity Director should have.” June 15, 2011

“Diane is an extremely creative professional, who comes prepared to work. She has great understanding that each person with cognitive impairment is on their own journey and that asking them to express themselves creatively is a great source of relief and allows them to be successful. Each time she worked with our group, she arrived on time, with all of her material and a calmness about her that immediately affected those she was working with. Her variety in programs with her group ranged from Chinese Brush art to photography to painting. I would recommend her highly!” September 17, 2011
