About Gail
Gail lives in Franklin, Tennessee and enjoys spending time with her two daughters – Jacklyn Rachel and Nona Michelle and grand-daughter Nona Mekenzee. She enjoys hiking, travel, horses and is very focused on nutrition and exercise.
What I'm passionate about:
I love to travel!! Visiting new places and exploring them - I am in heaven! I have been an avid jogger, walker, hiker, etc all my life, it makes me feel alive. Also my 5 lb Silky Terrier named Lola is a delight in my life. She was a rescue and is blind but each day she gives more to me than I do for her!
Favorite Food:
Chips and gravy!! Or french fries in the US. My mother is from England so I had many English influences during my childhood. A thick rare burger with onion and blue cheese - absolutely yummy! Molasses or Chocolate No Bake cookies and a cup of hot tea!

Reviews and Testimonials
"Let me just say a big THANK YOU AND WELL DONE for your wonderful support for our family in helping Dad find a good assisted living community! I am specifically thankful for your support and caring, but professional, manner, since I live in New York and was not familiar with Nashville.
We were able to use your proposed communities to narrow down the search, and ultimately select the right place for Dad. In addition to my internet searches, Dad and I went to two potential communities and made our final choice. (To be thorough, we also investigated two communities you did not recommend, and were not pleased with either.)
Thanks to you, we were able to find a place and move in, all in the same month. I am telling folks I know, including the staff of the community, what a great source of information and support you have been. Keep up your good work. It is appreciated!"

"My first contact with the company was when I saw it on television and decided I'd check it out online. I was a little hesitant when, within minutes of my inputting my information a man called me and asked if I would like an associate to call me to further assist me with my questions. I hesitantly said, "okay." Then Gail Grayson called me and that was the last time I hesitated. I can most sincerely say, I do not know what I would have done without her knowledge, her kind ear, her constant support, her availability and most importantly her honesty."
