“The first thing we thought that was really important with our company was number one we protect our employees we made lots of adjustments within our own office to do that in order to serve our residents. Our residents we have found the best thing we can do with them right now is to communicate to them and keep them updated as much as we can with what we are learning”. says Kelley Lind JK Property Manager

“Our challenge as a company is kind of like a titer to totter we have our owners on one side and our residents on the other we are always trying to balance even under normal circumstances present more of a challenge because we are all in this together and its affecting everyone from the very bottom of a resident to an owner of a property”.
