The PS team honored the resident who received the three millionth service in a celebration at the senior community’s salon and provided her with a year of free services.
With more than 1,000 licensed and Alzheimer’s-trained field personnel who care for the needs of the residents, PS Salon & Spa has proven they’re well-positioned to continue growing and improving service provided to senior residents as well as community marketability.
