Mom
went to the Day Care everyday. She
played bingo, did exercises, played games, made crafts and enjoyed going
out to eat with her friends. And
I cannot forget the Elvis impersonator that came in to perform.
Oh, I can see her now describing to me how he would shimmy and
shake and how her face would light up just thinking about it.
She just loved him. She
loved all the staff at the center as well.
When I scheduled her doctor’s appointments, I had to make sure I
didn’t schedule them on days the center had something going on that she
wanted to attend. Oh, I’d
better not schedule anything on Wednesday, when Rev. “T” was coming.
She really enjoyed listening to him and talking with him.
I know she considered the staff at Fenwick Landing and the other
participants that attended, her friends and loved them all.
Sincerely,
L.

When
mom was picked up every day by your bus, neighbors commented on how happy
she was when she boarded that bus and how she looked forward to going to
your facility. This always
made me feel good that she was in a happy place socializing with her
peers. I wish to express my
sincere thanks and appreciation for all your efforts, kind words, and joy
that my mother received this past year at Fenwick Landing Adult Day Care.

Please
express my sincere appreciation to all the staff who welcomed my mother
into the Fenwick Landing family on short notice, for an uncertain length
of time due to Hurricane Katrina. It
is the finest facility, program and staff that I have seen anywhere.
You gave my mom a warm, loving, caring environment and her family,
peace of mind and time to begin putting our life back together.
Though October 22 will be her last day, my long term dream is to
move to the D.C. area to live in a year or so and re-enroll my mom in your
fine program. Thank you for
everything, especially your flexibility.

Thank you doesn’t
really do justice to the way we feel about the wonderful care you gave to
“I”. You are much more
than a day care center, you are like family.
We felt your concern for “I” was sincere and we appreciate the
strong support and advice you gave us.
Your friendly staff’s help, assistance and advice made her final
days easier for us to cope.
We are glad that you accepted us as one of your family.
We would highly recommend the Crescent Ridge Day Care Center to
anyone. We would like to
donate something you need in his memory.
Sincerely,
C. and W.
It
is the Season of Christmas where families get together with friends to
wish each other happiness for the past and present and future times.
My family sends best greetings to you and their sincere thanks for
having me at the center. And I
can tell you that I truly appreciate being at Crescent Ridge.
Thank you for having the kind of understanding staff who care.
It makes peace among the elderly there and draws much happiness.
And thank you for having me there.
God Bless You.
As Christmas draws, I wish you all the best.
My son (who hardly has the time to spare) sends his Best Wishes, as
well as my grandson.
Lots
of Love, A.
In
Honor of the Drivers of
Many days I’m very slow, but my steps pick up with the
assistance of the nice drivers who help me through my day.
You know my name, my habits and treat me with respect.
You assist me with walking, help me in and out of the van, and tuck
my scarf in my coat on windy days with continuous loving care.
You know the special treats that encourage me to work a
little harder. You know I like
the hard candy best. You’ve
all been so wonderful; it’s hard to know how to begin to say thanks.
Please know that your kindness will always be remembered.
Sincerely,
B. L. W. & Family

To all Crescent Ridge Employees,

here.

Happy Valentine’s Day Everybody!
It was 5 years
ago today when I brought my dad in there…like a scared little rabbit!
Crescent Ridge helped him heal as much as he could.
But it was a place he could get a sense of worth and belonging.
Things have changed a lot since then and most of his “Buddies”
are gone but he still has an attachment there, and as hard as it is each
day, he keeps trying. I want
to thank all of you for being there. God
Bless you.
Sincerely,
J.

During
the past 24 months or so Mom was a participant at the Center, she
blossomed like a flower. Her
depression and gloominess vanished. The
care and devotion of all the staff members and the interaction with other
Center participants were just the medicine she needed.
Without fail, anytime I had a question, concern or any issue, I
always received courteous and prompt assistance from the Center personnel.
The services you provide at the Center are a real God send for
families such as ours who are caring for our ailing loved ones at home
while raising our families and pursuing careers.
Without your help, I would have had to place her in a nursing home
in order to continue with my career. Thanks
to you, we were able to place Mom in your expert care during the day
without worrying about her well being.
Every
single one of the staff members, including the receptionist, the social
worker, the nurse, the driver, etc., displayed a degree of caring and
compassion that was sincere and genuine.
We’ll
miss Mom, but I have the assurance of knowing that she was happy and well
cared for while in our care and yours.
May God bless each of you; and may goodness and light follow you
always.
Sincerely,
Y.
F. & Family
Words cannot express
my gratitude for the manner in how you cared for my best friend, my
beautiful mom. I cannot thank
you enough for your support and the love you have shown towards her and
me. She was so very special as
are each and everyone of you.
Thank you from the
bottom off my heart.
God bless you.
Love, C. C.

This
note is for you and your entire staff – both present and prior.
My dad and I thank you for the very fine care you took of him and
the counseling you offered me throughout his stay at Crescent Cities.
Your staff – as individual as they each are – come together to
form a fine team – each one seemed so interested in his or her
area of responsibility.
We wish you all well –with the Blessings of God.
Sincerely,
J. L.
Please accept my
gratitude for the care your staff has shown my mother since her enrollment
in your Adult Day Care program. I
especially wish to express my appreciation to the attention given to her
by John who conducts the music therapy and Claudia who is very attentive
and takes special care with her. She
enjoys the music therapy sessions and appreciates the care and warmth of
the staff. I notice that my
mother’s spirits are much improved, and she looks forward to going to
the center in the mornings, even though she gets upset with me if I come
after 5:00 (SMILE).
Thanks again for
providing this service.
Sincerely,
J. B.

The
words to express this kind of appreciation are difficult to come up with,
but I’ll try.
In
January, my father was hospitalized for “debilitating
depression”. This illness
has been slowly attacking him for many years as a result of loneliness,
physical illness and a sense of worthlessness.
Our
family was fortunate enough to discover “The Center” shortly before my
father’s release from the hospital.
(I wish we had known about it sooner…he would’ve been spared
many years of suffering). However,
he’s recovering very well…but it goes further than that.
The
Center has given back to him the basic ingredients of life which makes it
worth living: self esteem,
health values, personal identity and growth, challenges, trusting
relationships with others, an opportunity for leadership and to help
others. In summary, “The
Center” has given my father a purpose for his life…something that has
been missing for a long time.
It
is my hope and prayer that our government and communities support and
expand this incredibly valuable program.
It provides realistic solutions to the inevitable problems facing
the elderly and handicapped.
Words
cannot express how grateful we are for “The Center”, and for the
wonderful job your staff is doing. Your
expertise shines brightly! Thank
you so very, very much.
Sincerely,
W.

You
will never know, even if I told you one million times, how much I
appreciate you and all the many services you may have provided my mother
and me over the past months.
Needless
to say, I don’t know where we might be today if not for you.
All of the tasks I have accomplished since the onset of my
mother’s situation, the successes I owe to you.
You have given me much insight, knowledge and strength.
I thought I was not going to make it, but I have and even though I
still have a long way to go, I am on the road to recovery.
Just like you said so many times, “it will be all right”.
I
think back over the beginning of it all and I cringe from the memories of
sadness and fear, but with your kind words and bright smiles, came
strength and the will to face the next challenge.
Every
event of my mother’s condition seems to have a routine pattern, that is,
in the eyes of the trained professional, but by no means must you consider
this note routine, from the bottom of my heart I am appreciative and I
could go no longer without expressing this to you.
Sincerely,
J. O.
To
the Crescent Ridge Staff,
Thank you so much for the huge difference you made in all our
lives. It made the difference
to allow my in-laws to remain in their home and eased the cares and
worries for my husband and myself. The
best to all of you!
J.
K.
To
the staff:
Thank you for all that you did to keep my mother healthy and alive
during the year she attended Crescent Ridge
Thank you for all the help and support that you have given me; I do
not think I could have made it without all of you.
Thank you also for the beautiful flowers and other expressions of
sympathy.
God Bless You,
F.
