To Staff & Employees at Walnut Ridge –

Dear Staff,

This is a thank you note to let your staff know how our family was so pleased with the care that was given to George Watson, my husband and my children father at a time that was tough for us for him to be placed in a facility. Your staff was so kind to him they were kind, pleasant and understood his needs related to his illness. He was always found clean, alert and out of bed daily. He always looked nice! I worked for nursing facilities for 20 years. I/m aware of the kind of care he was given at your facility. He often stated the staff was really nice and liked him. Thank you for all the kindness you showed.

The aspect of your care that truly brings tears to my eyes even as I write this is the manner in which you cared for my mom (and the family) in her final days on this earth were very limited. The “Hospice Rooms” you provided to her and our family made her passing so much more peaceful for all of us. At times, we had 4 or more family members with her, and that would not have been possible without the room. Every one of the staff who came to attend to mom, before leaving the room, asked if they could be of help to us. We were able to stay, to hold her hand, and be with her until the end. You truly made it possible for mom to pass “at home”. The staff members that came and knelt beside mom’s bed called her “Mama” as they always did, told her they loved her and would miss her, and many left with tears in their eyes.

I truly believe the staff at Walnut Ridge has cared for my mom as she was family, The word Thank you comes to mind but seems inadequate to express our deepest appreciation for the very compassionate care you and your staff extended to mom over the last 4 years.
