We here at the Brookdale Portage Community would like to thank Kathy and Great Lakes School of Massage for offering 21 slots for our residents to get massages! It was a wonderful experience, and we were blessed to be able to attend. While our community members received a few minutes to relax the students were able to work with and learn each person individually! We love a caring community, and we are proud to be a part of the Portage Community!

Thank you again for a wonderful and relaxing weekend!
