Dear Editor:
For the last 18 months my mother had been a resident of the Wellington Terrace Long-Term Care facility in Aboyne.
My family and I feel that she won the lottery when she was accepted as a resident of Wellington Terrace. The care that is given to residents is exceptional.
Mom was always treated with care and dignity. When she was dying and they needed to offer her palliative care, that care and support was extended to her family as well.
Wellington Terrace treated her to a wish day and the planning and thought that went into her final trip to the Forks of the Credit was much appreciated. The entire day was wonderful thanks to the skills of the Wellington Terrace staff.
There were so many acts of kindness shown to her during her time there. The staff always went above and beyond in their care for her. Thank you, all.
Every time I went to visit the facilities were spotless and the food always smelled so good. Her friends would always comment on how great the staff were and how clean everything was.
Mom was always pleased when I took her for a walk in her wheelchair that each staff member would address her by name. She also received so much enjoyment from the flowers and birds.
Lynda Shannon,
