To the wonderful staff at Gilmore Gardens. The occasion of “employee appreciation” seems the perfect time to chime in our enthusiastic applause to the friendly, professional and kind staff. Whether it is it is Kuldip’s bubbly yet gentle voice on the phone or Audrey’s positive “can do” problem solving skills, we feel so supported here. Nathee and Michelle’s efficient and friendly hot meal deliveries make dinner even more tasty. As if that could be possible with the amazing choices and delicious cooking the talent kitchen staff accomplishes. Tippy’s sense of humour and Nimfa’s constant support make it feel like home. We could mention everyone by name, but we are running out of room… So we will say to ALL of you… THANK YOU for going above and beyond. It is greatly appreciated.

At first I was not convinced that it was becoming necessary for some changes or what to expect, but it did not take long to feel at home and to know I needed more contact with other people. The staff here truly cares and the friendships I have built with new and some old acquaintances, have all made a great difference.

To date I have been able to identify and name thirty five residents. All of these new friends have made a huge difference to my life, going forward. I still have independence but do not have to worry about the day to day challenges of living, like paying the bills, repairs and general upkeep of body and home.

What I now find is the peace of mind knowing that help is immediately available, if I were to need it, but I can still enjoy my days on my own terms. Also my family visits daily or weekly and are always impressed with my new surroundings both residence and the meals, which really beyond belief for quality and variation daily.

My new home is not just building but it is a community that I am grateful to be part of it.

To all the staff and management of Gilmore Gardens Residences, We wish to thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for taking care of our mom, and giving her the best and happiest 6.5 years of her life. She loved you all.
