Theresa, I'm sure you're aware that nothing in the world can prepare you to lose your mom. I feel somebody was definitely looking over me when I made the choice to go with Harmony Care Home January 2022. I'm so grateful that you accepted me and mom. Neither one of us realized it would only be six weeks, but I couldn't have asked for a better experience to spend those last few weeks with her. Everything about the experience was the best it could be because of your help. Every question answered, every concern addressed immediately, every emotion and feeling shared was acknowledged and verbalized back to me. You made sacrifices of your personal time. That was a true testament to your compassion. You were always so calm and available I don't know what I would have done without you. Ive never been though anything like this, I had so much anxiety. I want to express my sincere gratitude for your love and service as well as the entire staff, Isabell, Yolanda, Alicia and Sara, they were all supportive, patient and caring. As far as the medication and working with hospice, you did everything right, you always knew what to do. You kept me informed and always made the right choices, you were on top of what needed to be done immediately. Im very appreciative for all your experience, your knowledge and your knowing what to do. I enjoyed our times chatting and you comforted me as we hung out around mom's bed as you fed her and you had the patience for her and you included me and made it feel like we were family. The only regret is that I didn't switch to you sooner, your home was so much better for mom than being at TreVista Concord memory care. I just wish mom could have seen the rest of your beautiful house. She loved interior design and she would have loved the big modern kitchen and the yard too. If she was able to go out there I'm sure she would have found the words to ask you if you had a cigarette. It's so hard to see your mom go through dementia and not be able to speak, to go downhill so fast in 3 years. To lose the ability to talk and read, she couldn't even find the candy I left for her. To see her bed ridden and not be able to use her hands, to want to get up but not remembering she broke her hip. The uncomfortable block for recovery from the hip surgery that was so hard to see but you helped make everything the best it could be. You calmed my anxiety and made everything look easy. For that and your true compassion I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will always remember you. Linda and Yvonne too!
