"I wanted to follow up to let you know how thankful I am for all your help to get my mother an apartment as fast as you did. And to let you know that she is slowly improving thanks to all the wonderful help at TH! We had a doctor's appointment yesterday and she has gained over 5 pounds since moving into her apartment! She still has a ways to go but I am optimistic given her new environment and all the help she has available to her. As I think I told you, I had to take a significant amount of time off work to care for her in early June. If I hadn't done that, and if we would have had to wait much longer for an apartment, she probably would have landed in the hospital because she was getting to the point that she would was just staying in bed all day and would not eat or take her meds. It would have been so hard for me to continue caring for her much longer - I think your efforts played a part in saving her life, literally."

"My sister and I feel that Thornton Hall is a very special place for our father. The staff makes him and all other residents feel very special.

They have a real knack for assessing and encouraging Dad's talent. Once they discovered his talents in art and music, Dad was asked to paint a picture of the new covered walkway which was then framed and hung in Thornton Hall; his notecards made from his paintings were included for sale in the gift shop; he had his own art show for friends, family and residents, and he regularly plays his saxophone for the enjoyment of his fellow residents. He is now teaching bridge to a small group of teenagers. All this keeps him mentally and physically active.

The entire staff shows love, concern, and patience for Dad, as well as understanding the concerns and anxieties of family members. They always put make sure that our father's days are positive and meaningful, and we truly appreciate this."
