I sent the following email to my sister and Janis Stovall at Grace Manor Port Orange: Dear Janis and [name redacted], This morning I received a phone call from Sandy and Judy with Americare.

I called Stephanie P. at Halifax Hospital because there was no return address on the Guardian Advocate test I was sent, so I had no way to know where I was supposed to send the completed test. She gave me the address and I mailed it to her along with a cover letter. Stephanie told […]
