"All
of our family is relieved to have found such a facility because you have
restored Mom's dignity as a human being ... Your vision to have
created such an environment where people's dignity remains intact is rewarded by
the peace you have generated in the many lives not only of the residents
themselves, but in the lives of the families as well."
"I
have never before worked anywhere where the human relations are so excellent,
warm and supportive."
"Thank you very much for your
kindness, sympathy, and support in this time of great loss of our Father.
Thank you for taking great care of him when he was at D'Youville Manor. We
will always have the good memories of our Dad at the Manor in his final days."
"As
far as I'm concerned your mission is being fulfilled every day here by your love and devotion and concern for others."
"You
greatly eased the pain and fears of Mom's last days and supported Dad in
his vigil."
"There
is such an atmosphere of activity, joy and love that I came away
refreshed."
"Her
year with you was as nice an environment as I could imagine at this point in her
life. Yours is truly a healing
ministry."
"Your
combined efforts, together with the beautiful surroundings, both inside and out,
were instrumental in my speedy recovery from hip surgery."
"When
we chose D'Youville, we did so because of the positive impression ,we received,
and because it allowed Mom the opportunity to practice her devotion to God by
attending Mass and other services. We
also felt certain that the care given to her needs would allow us to feel that
she was in the best place for her and we could engage in the daily tasks of our
work. We thank you for everything
you did in helping us give Mom the best that we could."
"I
would like to say thank you, thank you, thank you, from myself and the rest of
Mary's family for your professionalism, your caring, your dedication, and
especially your love. Bless you
all."
"I
want to thank all of you at D'Youville for doing such a wonderful job in
helping my mother adjust to her new life and living arrangements.
She really considers it her home now and is obviously well cared for and
loved and enjoys her life with you all."
"The
staff made my father, myself and my family feel as though we were very special
people. We are not used to such
treatment in today's world."
"We
are extremely grateful to you and your staff for the compassionate support and
care extended to my mother every day. The
Grey Nuns provided a safe and loving haven for my children and then, they did
the same thing for my mother. I
will be eternally grateful."
"I
never knew of Marguerite D'Youville before I started working at the Manor. But, I am grateful for the divine
providence that led me to the Grey Nuns and ultimately to you."
"It
impressed me as a very happy place. I
have been in many places, but to tell the truth, I have never experienced such
warmth, responsiveness and kindness by everyone without exception -- residents
and others -- as I have there."
"Words
are inadequate to describe the comfort afforded our family because our mother
was living there ... How lucky for all of us that her last years were spent in
the company of those who believe in caring for the whole individual ... I am
comforted by the emotional support offered our beautiful Mother and I know it
was the circle of love and protection offered at this beautiful place called D'Youville Manor."
"We really appreciate everything
you're doing for Mother. She is receiving great care and having the time
of her life at the Manor. It is such a relief... We know that our being so
far away sometimes makes things a little more challenging for you and we want
you to know how much we appreciate the way you handle these matters."
"Thank you for the care shown to me
during my short stay. I found everything just perfect & will not hesitate
calling on you again when the need arises. Your staff was wonderful!".
