Thank you for all your (Care Initiatives Hospice - Greenfield) help with our mom. She enjoyed everyone that came and helped take care of her and just ...talked to her. She was always smiling when Ashley came. So with everything that you guys helped with, even help(ed) Dad out, we send this donation in mom's name to help with whatever needed. Mom would (have) wanted us to do this. So again, thank you very much.

On behalf of all of our family, I want to thank you and all the staff for the excellent care for XXXXX during his time with you. Everyone was always so kind, loving, helpful and compassionate. We know he was well cared for. I appreciate that I was called with reports of even the littlest things concerning his care and health. We trusted all of you to give him your best.

I can't say enough about the staff! The P/T staff were incredible and so helpful. They really worked my butt off with outstanding results. The kitchen staff prepared the most amazing meals. I loved all the aides that helped out, you all really go the extra mile for everyone. I really want to thank all the employees at Avoca [Specialty Care]. They even let you have your family dog visit. Thanks again and I'll see you all soon to come back and polish nails for residents.

Thank you all so much for your care and attention these past four weeks towards our dear mom! We appreciate your love and care more than words are able to express. In appreciation for all the simple little things you do to help us support our mom, we thought it appropriate to give each of you one of Mom's favorite books, "Love Does" by Bob Goff. As the title states, love goes out and does things, even if they are the most simple of things, to show we care for others.

My sister and I know that our mom loves Valley View! Thank you for all you and your staff have done to make the transition and now a permanent situation for mom a positive one. I appreciate being contacted when necessary about any health-related issue. We feel that mom is in the right place for her needs, as well as our peace of mind!
Continued success to you all!
