Family-What a Gift from God!

Tuesday, August 17, 2010

My brother, Bill, and I will be forever grateful to Mom's FUMC family - residents and staff. She always said, "What makes this place different is the people." AMEN! You made a difference in her life (and ours), and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. May God continue to bless each of you as you go about your day and always remember: YOU DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Peace be with you and those you love.

Maintenance Free and Good Service Too!

Monday, August 9, 2010

One of the advantages of living in our retirement community in an independent home is the "no maintenance" arrangement for our residents. This means that items on your home that need to be fixed, grass cut, or snow shoveled, will be done in an effective and efficient manner, without cost or inconvenience to you.

Here's a recent example from an email we received:
We came home late in the evening and found that our garage door would not open. We notified Building Services and a maintenance man was scheduled for first thing in the morning. By 6:30 a.m the door was checked and determined a broken spring needed to be replaced. The garage door company installer was here by 8 a.m. and we were back in service by 9 a.m. Thanks to everyone for the good service!

We welcome such emails and notes as this one and appreciate the fine staff who carry out our mission "to provide a retirement experience filled with well-being and wholeness".
