“Just a note of thanks for my experiences and relationships made while working with CHAP Home Helper clients.
I still fondly remember my client who recently passed and still remain in touch with her daughter.
A previous client currently in a nursing home I have a chance to see while working with my existing clients.
My clients are a blessing. I really enjoy my time with them and seeing other residents if even to just smile and say Hi!
I look forward to what the future holds and the quality care and time we can give back to these people.”
~ Suzie, Home Helper

“We have recently been working with CHAP to assist with my in-laws. I just received an email this morning (to all the family) from my sister in-law telling everyone what an awesome job CHAP is doing. We are completely blown away at the initiative and compassion shown by the worker (Shirley) that is coming to assist my in-laws. This lady is remarkable to say the least.
CHAP and Shirley in particular, are lifesavers. My wife and I and one sister in-law, are the only family in town and we were on the verge of severe burn out trying to care for my in-laws. Since CHAP has come on board, that has been avoided and we actually feel like we are getting some semblance of our lives back. Just wanted to let you know how completely impressed we are”. ~ Ron
Shirley works with the Home Helper program in CHAP. Her response below:
“I just read my email that was sent – I thank you all very much. I believe my clients are my focus and their well-being is important to me. ~Shirley

It would be a major oversight for me not to express endless appreciation – to you – your assistance for getting me to where I need to go always on time to pick me up, and deliver me – and the travel cost is such a major help to me as well.
Of course add to your excellent & friendly expertise are the drivers – for one, Clarence, I admire his always present Faith and support – not to mention his ability to drive with unquestioned expertise – making the trip a distinct pleasure (I often wish it could be longer)
He shares the important events in his life quite willingly – with the result that in being an expert driver – he has become a young, caring and valued friend in addition to his driving skills.
Admiration for you knows no bounds, how you manage to juggle so many complicated schedules and ever – changing pick-up times could easily qualify you to be a competent air traffic controller at Pearson Airport in Toronto.
My broken hip is slowly beginning to heal – so in the future – a couple of months or so perhaps – driving in my car could become a possibility. When I see a time and date – we’ll try and give you plenty of notice.
Again – Sincere gratitude,
You are so very competent doing what you do & so cheerful and friendly too
Bill
