Family Members Make A Difference

February & March we would like to highlight a few of the family members who make such a

huge difference in the lives of our Kings Way family. There are so many of you that go well

above and beyond to help our staff make life here so wonderful for our residents. We want

you to know how much we appreciate all you do! Not only do you spend time with your own

family members, helping with their care but you develop relationships with other residents

and take on more responsibilities to lighten the load of our loving busy staff!

Beth Ellis - who brings her day care children for lunch each day to help with her Mom,

Liz. Beth also brings that ever so important intergenerational touch to our folks down in

KV. Everyone looks forward to your visits and watch eagerly at the window as you unload

your crew! I witnessed personally the loving relationships you and the children have

developed with the staff and the residents - thank you so much for brightening our days!

Barb Dixon - daughter-in-law to Dot, who takes it upon herself to bake dozens of delicious

treats for our special events, (without even being asked!!!!!), makes jams and jellies for the

folks at Dot's table, and who will stay after socials washing and drying tea cups and

saucers. Thank you so much for adding a brilliant flare to our events!

Randy Giffin - who visits and cares for his wife, Thelma daily, and who took the time this fall

to make grape jelly with our residents! Thank you!

Neil Leard - who has daily breakfast with his wife, Donna, and who has also developed a great

friendship with resident George Matthews. The morning discussions over the newspaper are

wonderfully stimulating and enjoyable. Thank you! (Thank you as well for

bringing in those recyclables for me, Neil!!!!)
