Letters of Appreciation . . . |

May 16, 2012 To All Concerned, Yesterday, we again had a couple of ladies come and wash our clothes and clean our apartment. Nichole and Stephanie do a fabulous job of both. How they keep track of all the clothes is beyond us. Every once in a while they take out terrible spots for which we are most appreciative. Also, they arranged for Barry to come and shampoo the rugs in our apartment; they look 100% better! Bottom line, the people we have mentioned are just nice people; cheerful and kind. Residents |
|||||||||
May 14, 2012 To Eskaton Village Placerville, It would be impossible to mention by name each RCA and "pill lady". As a group, they are wonderful and singly, each one is kind, dedicated, cheerful and caring. If we were to list each one in the group by name, we might miss one. We look forward to the greeting each day, "Good Morning". Residents |
|||||||||
April 27, 2012 To Eskaton Village Placerville, I just wanted to compliment Brian. We are so often very quick to complain and to find fault and so slow to praise. Residents |
|||||||||
April 24, 2012 To Debbie, and (Mark and Emily, too), This note is in regard to Debbie, the RCA, but I had to include Debbie's husband Mark and their daughter Emily. They are all a wonderful family. Cheerful. Kind. Debbie is a very caring and loving person. We always know when she has been here. An "angel" comes in and turns down the bed, fixes all the pillows (and often leaves mints) and gets out our night clothes. When Debbie comes she puts lotion on my aching legs and when she is here for shower night she knows exactly what to do to keep the residents happy and safe. We are fortunate that Debbie is on the staff of Eskaton Village Placerville. Residents |
|||||||||
April 23, 2012 Yesterday Troy, your "Eskaton Knight in Shining Armor", came once again to our apartment to help us with our computer. His expertise is invaluable and to boot, his personality is, also, shining. All the employees who work for Eskaton are exceptional and have shining personalities! Thanks so much and looking forward to the future. Resident |
|||||||||
April 15, 2012 On behalf of our family, I want to thank you so much for all you and your staff did for Daddy. Your wisdom and advise those final days was so very, very helpful in our decision making. We are all so thankful that he was there at Eskaton in the end. Family Member |

December 5, 2011 Congratulations on your excellent work. And particularly to several who gave John extra help during his last illness; you still go straight to my heart. John was a big man and extra hard to help. You were kind and comforting, jollying him [and me] along, helping us bear what had to be borne. After John's death, you continued your great kindness to me. I still get teary thinking of your sweet hugs and pleasant words. You have indeed acted as angels. |

January 24, 2011 Dear Friends of Eskaton Village Placerville, We, as a family, wish to express our gratitude to each and everyone of you for the love, care and kindness you have shown our dear mother Barbara, and her beloved husband Kenny. December 13, 2009, will always be the day that Eskaton entered our lives and began what they do best on the behalf of our parents. We are both grateful and appreciative. Many memories will forever remain in our hearts as we reflect back. Again, thank you for being so patient and understanding. You helped us make such a difficult transition a little bit easier. Thank you too for the dignity and concern you showed Kenny as his health declined. He was a wonderful man that dearly loved our mother and could only "let go" when he knew that she would be okay and well cared for. We believe this, and thank each of you for giving Kenny this contentment. We are so pleased knowing he was loved at Eskaton as well. Family Member |
|||||||||
January 22, 2011 To Eskaton Village Placerville, I am very pleased with how my mom is doing in Memory Village. She has gotten much calmer and seems happier. It allows me to go on our retirement celebration trip that we have planned. Thank you and all the RCA’s for all they are doing for her. Family Member |
|||||||||
January 5, 2011 To Eskaton Village Placerville, My mom came for respite last weekend and did quite well. She was ready to come home but she liked all the caregivers and was happy with the care she received. She was also very complimentary of the food and even played scrabble. Family Member |
|||||||||
December 26, 2010 To Eskaton Village Placerville, We want to give our may fine helpers at Eskaton our sincere thanks and appreciation for the excellent work that they do. Old folks often get cranky. They don't feel very well and they are deprived of many things they enjoyed when they were younger. The staff members here at Eskaton show loving respect and friendliness, however hard it must be sometimes. They seem to be experts at teasing along reluctant appetites at mealtimes, or inviting laggards to participate in activities to enrich their lives. Thank you and feel pride in your work. It takes real skill plus an excellent disposition to perform so well. Family Member |
|||||||||
December 6, 2010 To Eskaton Village Placerville, A big thank you to all who provided such wonderful care for our dad, Paul. Each and every one of you helped to make the last months of his life more pleasant and tolerable; you all did a fantastic job helping him and us get through a very difficult time. We appreciate your efforts more than words can express. Family Member |

November 16, 2010 To Eskaton Village Placerville, Thank you so, so much for all of your many kindnesses and support during the many and extremely difficult transitions we went through with our parents. We couldn't have done it without you. Words can never say it all . . . but maybe chocolate can! Family Member |
|||||||||

|||||||||
July 30, 2010 To the Staff of Eskaton Village Placerville, Thank you so much for the plant in remembrance of my dad. I will try my darndest to keep it alive and well. Chuck would have planted it in his yard and it would have died, but he would have continued watering it just the same. Most of all, thank you for all you have done for him in the last year of his life. Being 92, he had little motivation to keep going. You folks faced that challenge each day, and gave him reasons to get up every morning. To the kitchen — My dad gained 20 pounds in the first six months he was there. Must have loved your food. To housekeeping — He would tell me he needed to clean his room, and the you were there. And I know there were many not-so-pretty situations you had to deal with. Plus your assistance with his move made things so much easier for him and me. To activities — Thank you for knowing how much he loved music and making that a part of his last years. To medical staff — Thank you for monitoring medications and wellness and always calling me when there were concerns. To daily care workers — You looked after his every need, including showers and hygiene. What a difficult job that must be, I am not sure I can thank you all enough. To the front desk staff — You folks were always friendly, receptive and informed. Thank you for that. To administration — You dealt with my dad and me in a respectful and positive way. I know he was not always easy, but I think you appreciated the fact that he was a good man. Your efforts to transition him into memory care are greatly appreciated. I'm leaving out many, including laundry, transportation, etc. That's only because I did not have direct contact with these people. Thank you all. Considering my dad was willing to check out 18 months ago, you made his last year tolerable and sometimes even enjoyable. I could not have provided that quality of care and caring. I will never regret our decision to move him to your facility. We were so lucky to have you when we needed you. I miss my dad, and I'll miss seeing all of you. Family Member |

March 2, 2010 To the Staff at Eskaton Village Placerville, Just a note to thank all who made our visit from one Eskaton to another so enjoyable. We enjoyed meeting everyone, and the lunch and bingo was very nice. We were also happy to visit with our "song bird" (Bryan). He is still loved and kept in our thoughts here at Eskaton Lodge Granite Bay. The ride up was so pretty; the trees all in bloom and the weather was bright and clear. Thanks again for everything. Best wishes to all. Residents of Eskaton Lodge Granite Bay |

February 4, 2010 To the Staff at Eskaton Village Placerville, I'm so grateful to you all - you truly make the world a more beautiful place to be.

January 11, 2010 Dear Evelyn, Mom has made such great progress since her arrival on Sept 10th. When she first moved to Eskaton, Mom was in a wheelchair most of the time with minimal time using her walker. And now she is primarily using only her cane to assist with her walking. I do think she has improved greatly! Family Member |

October 23, 2009 Dear Eskaton Village Placerville Staff Members, We want to say a special thank you to all of the people who work at Eskaton who made our visit with Margaret S. so very special.

Your community is beautiful and the staff we met were friendly and accommodating. Friends of Margaret |
