Dear Mr. Stapleton:

I don't know how you manage to have such good staff . Mary is one of the most competent ,caring and loving nurse I have ever seen All other nurses are very good too, but something about Mary's personality sets her apart. Not only she is smart and competent but, also she is very tuned into each patient under her care.

In addition to good care it is nice to have carpeted corridors, drapes in the rooms and very clean environment. I am amazed how often they bathe my dad and change his clothes. He always smells clean and Fred and Yolanda shave him every day which makes him very happy.

Originally my dad came in for a very short stay while we were waiting for an opening at another facility.  After a week stay we noticed how much more comfortable he felt at Sherrill House and decided to keep him here long term.

Every day I thank God for the good fortune of finding Sherrill House.

I come to see my dad every day and already have recommended many people to Sherrill House. I have been stopped at the lobby and the parking lot by family members who were shopping for Nursing home and on every occasion I told them SHERRILL HOUSE IS THE BEST!

Many thanks to all of you.

Dear Patrick:

We are writing to express our sincere thanks and deep gratitude for the exceptional care our Dad and our family received from everyone at Sherrill House. We have been trying to think of ways to adequately express this sentiment, but there are none. So, knowing that words fall short of meeting our goal, please accept this modest gesture of gratitude. We also want to bring specific attention to some of the incredible people who made Dad's last years as happy and comfortable as possible.  We have many good memories of times spent with Dad at Sherrill House and many from being able to bring him home for family celebrations over the past 3 years (and having been able to-do that was nothing short of a miracle performed by his can teams over and over). Please accept our apologies in advance for names inadvertently emitted.

Subacute Floor
Sharon, Jennifer, Renell, Denise, Kathy, Guyle, Theresa, Doris, Carol, Sandra, Constance, Adrian, Jamie, Sean, Karen, Kylie, Christine, and the rest of our friends in nursing, rehab, nutrition and the kitchen (Dad loved his food, and they always accommodated)

Longterm Care_Floor
Maxine, Jim, Stephanie, Theresa, Marie, Nixsa, Nicole, Fred, Maria, Jamie, Sean, Karen, Kylie, and again, the rest of our friends in nursing, rehab, nutrition, recreation and the kitchen

Dementia Unit
Iona, Brad, Monica, Luce, Abu, Agnes, Guyle, Edmonde, Glenn, Ebe, Denise, Norma, Erin, Lucy, and finally, the rest of our friends in nursing, rehab, nutrition, recreation, music therapy, and the kitchen.

One specific example of Sherrill House's commitment to excellent total care of a patient and his family that has to be mentioned is the accommodations made to allow Erin to come to the North Shore to officiate Dad's services, The bond we developed with Erin during Dad's time at Sherrill House was amazing, and the celebration of his life would not have been complete without her. Family who knew our friends at Sherrill House were so touched to have her there; it really completed the journey. And, those not as present during Dad's last years were so impressed by Erin's ability to speak beautifully about his life and pay such a wonderful tribute to his memory.  

             
You have forever changed our lives, and we will remember you all always.

With deepest gratitude,
Kim and Matthew D.
