Letter:
Terrace staff treated mom with dignity, compassion

I'm writing today to express my sincerest gratitude for the excellent care my mother, Agnes Smith, received while a resident of Garden Terrace.

Agnes moved to the Terrace in March of 2003 following unsuccessful surgery to remove a benign brain tumour. As a result, her physical and mental capacities were extremely limited and she required a great deal of physical care. As I live in very close proximity to the Garden Terrace, I was fortunate enough to be able to see my mother daily.

As a result of my daily visits, I can attest first-hand to the excellent care my mother received from all the staff on the 2nd floor West. The dedication and patience of the staff is highly commendable. They treated my mother, and the other patients, with compassion, dignity and complete composure at all times.

My family and I would like to especially thank the staff that provided my mother with the benefits of their excellent and professional care and understanding. I would like to thank Shelley, Vimala, Hasna, Saada, Zahra, Fadum, Renu, Louise, Marilyn and Beverly and especially Abebe.

I know there are a host of other individuals at the Garden Terrace that make this level of care attainable. I'm sure I didn't meet or get to know all the staff that attended to my mother and her care, so please extend our thanks to them.

Sincerely,
Maggie Lackey
Kanata, Ontario
