To Whom It May Concern:
I am pleased to write this letter of reference on behalf of Beverly Brown, who provided valued services as a home health care aide for my father, and then my mother, over the last month’s time. Having brought my father home on hospice care on the morning of November 2nd, I was determined to find quality people who would join our family of caregivers for a brief while as we strove to give my dad just what he wanted and so richly deserved: comfort, dignity, and the joy of being home. Beverly joined our “team” by 8:00 p.m. that very first night, remaining with us through my father’s death on November 6th and a transition period for my mother through November 21st.
Night after night during her twelve-hour shifts, Beverly dispensed the care, wisdom and compassion needed to take us through this most difficult time. She quietly lent us her strength, and became a trusted member of our family, even if only for a short time.
I would highly recommend Beverly Brown for employment as a home health care aide. She is all the things you would want in a caregiver…intelligence, competence, kindness, and total commitment to her client’s well-being. Hire her to help you take care of your loved one; you’ll be glad you did.

Sincerely,
Gail Garber

Dear Jonathan:
My wife Ginny is now firmly ensconced in the Regina Nursing Care Center, and I believe that the enclosed payment is the last owed to your firm.
I want to thank you formally for the services you and your company have provided. As you know, Missy Coopersmith was none too happy with the previous service I had employed, and I was none too thrilled myself. Bringing your firm in to help meet our needs was a breath of fresh air. I can’t imagine anyone or any firm more dedicated to ensuring that a client’s needs are met. On the few occasions when glitches developed, your personal attention and assurance took a huge load off our minds, and allowed me to continue on with my work without constantly fretting about what might be happening at home.
Willa Ann Smith was a gem. She probably was more responsible that anyone for the fact that we were able to keep Ginny at home for as long as we did. And when she needed a day off, the substitutes you found were up to the somewhat daunting task that lay before them.
I am happy to recommend your firm to anyone in need. I appreciate your kindness and attention and wish you continued good fortune in the future.

Sincerely,
Richard J. Kozera, MD

Dear Jonathan,
Waldrina Grant has been taking care of my mom for the past three years. Three years ago we were told that Mom only had twelve days, at the most, to live. It was a very sad and terrible time for everyone in my family. My mom just died last Sunday night and we all believe that a big part of the reason why she lived 34 months longer than any doctor thought possible was the love and care that Waldrina provided. Nothing was ever too much for Waldrina. She lovingly bathed and dressed my mom everyday. Her hair was always done and her make up applied. This had always been important to my mom. Waldrina even learned how to cut and color Mom’s hair. My mom’s meals were well thought out and beautifully prepared. As sick as Mom was, Waldrina would consult with Mom and make her food she thoroughly enjoyed eating. This gave my mom great pleasure.
Waldrina is the kind of caregiver that would sit, during the day or in the evening, with Mom and watch television. For my mom, Waldrina became a dear friend. My mom trusted Waldrina and Waldrina made her happy.
Waldrina would encourage us to go on outings even when I assumed Mom was too frail. Waldrina knew it was possible and made them happen.
When Waldrina’s name comes up at Sunrise of Abington the staff members will say that there aren’t many like her. She would greet everyone when she comes downstairs and was always ready to help whenever needed. They tell me how she always had my mom looking so beautiful.
I highly recommend Waldrina. Please contact me if you have any questions. For us, Waldrina was like our guardian angel for the last three years of my mom’s life.
Thank you for the opportunity to tell you about a wonderful caregiver and a truly beautiful person.

Sincerely,
Sheryl Samter

Dear Friends,
I am writing to express my thanks for your excellent service, both in professional and human terms.
For a period of about four months, with increasing frequency and with complete confidence, I utilized Silver Lining for the care of my husband, Paul Wolkin. Everyone with whom I dealt, from the aides to the office staff, were unfailingly courteous, compassionate and dependable.
In particular, I want to cite the extraordinary dedication and expertise of Jean St. Jean and Lillian Lumpkin, who worked very difficult 12-hour shifts for a period of many weeks, and did so without respite. I did not know such dedication existed among healthcare workers. I have only the highest praise for these two fine individuals, and I am immensely grateful for the loving and knowledgeable care they provided to Paul.

Sincerely,
Diana Burgwyn Wolkin
