Fortunate community

Dear Editor:

We are very fortunate to live in this community, which becomes more evident as this crazy COVID virus has taken hold of all our lives.

It is very reassuring to know of all the people from medical, police and fire and small businesses that are “there” for us.

In the late spring, my 96-year -old mother passed away peacefully at the retirement home where she had resided for the past eight years.  She was able to stay in her own room as her health declined.

The medical care she received and the emotional, informative support our family received was exceptional, from her family doctor to the nursing staff and all other support staff at the retirement home, LHIN, CarePartners and Bayshore palliative nursing. Their caring and professional expertise was sincerely appreciated. Everyone seemed to be “one step ahead” of what was needed.  Thank you again!

We have exceptional help in this community and aren’t we fortunate!

Karen Townsend,
