I had the opportunity to spend the night as a guest at our Crescent View retirement center on July 10, then work as a certified nursing assistant on June 11. Here is the letter I just sent CV Executive Director Sharon Conoley.

I have had the warm and fuzzies over Crescent View all day! You all are just the best! Eric and Dining Services and everyone associated with the model apartment showed that you all have hospitality down pat! The snack basket was the perfect touch! So, as guests Cheryl and I give you 5 stars!

Then I went to work as a CNA. Except for having my salary reduced by John and getting written up for not wearing slip resistant shoes, it was a great day. Working as a CNA always makes me humble and shows me what kind of people we have who are fulfilling the mission of LSA. Emily and Mary took good care of me, with help from dining, housekeeping, maintenance, marketing, activities, and on and on. CV has a great staff and is a great place to work.

Working as a CNA always reinforces the mission of LSA to express God's love in Christ to our residents. It was especially nice to personally and directly serve the CV residents. They are wonderful and invaluable, and we had a lot of fun.

Thanks for letting me work up there. You and your team are the best! Please pass on my thanks to the entire staff in whatever way best, and please share my thanks with the CV residents. They are why we exist!

See you soon.

Ted

PS I will never admit how much my feet hurt and how stiff my back and knees were this morning!
