Wiggins Place Acheives Perfect Results!

On March 1st
Wiggins Place
received a visit from the Ohio Department of Health at which time the representative conducted an annual survey of our building.  Some of the areas that underwent inspection include: building cleanliness, grounds and operations, tenant health records, dining and food service and many other areas of importance.  I am so proud to report that
Wiggins Place
achieved a deficiency free survey. 

Congratulations to the
Wiggins Place
