Letter: Family
comforted by
caring at Springdale On behalf of the
family of the late Stella Sheehan, I would like to thank
all of you for the care you gave her while she lived
at Springdale. It was a great comfort to know that when
she needed a higher level of care than we were able
to provide, you were all there.
It takes a very special kind of person
to work in geriatric care. The compassion and commitment
of the caregivers is very much above and beyond what
can be considered just duty. It was obvious to us that
you consider the residents to be an extended part of
your own families, and we never worried that Mom might
be mistreated or neglected. She was always clean and
properly dressed, and her room was always well kept.
She was given the choice to participate in activities
for as long as she was able.
Any requests and questions were met with
respect and good cheer, and we were never made to feel
like we were asking too much from you.
When the end was near, we got the calls
everyone dreads, and you were there, not only to help
Mom through, but her family, as well. We want you to
know how much we appreciate the care and concern you
showed to all of us, the offering of refreshments while
we sat with Mom, and everything you did to ease her
passing.
You don’t get told often enough
how special you all are, but you should. Thank you from
all of us.
