Hello Cheri,

My sister and brother and I wanted to follow up to say thank you to you and your staff for helping my Dad feel at home during his stay at Durand. He found the transition difficult at times but your support and sensitivity helped him very much.

Regards, Valerie

This month, my grandmother Marthe Maillonx, would have celebrated her 100th birthday. Sadly we won’t get to celebrate that milestone with her. But I wanted to write and thank you -Everyone at Herkimar: the Staff and the residents for making her final years so wonderful. While she wasn’t thrilled at the idea of moving into the Durand Residence, she soon grew to love it -and all of you…

Merci, Ivy & Kerry Knight
