The Resilient Friends Care Community Staff, Families, and Board Celebrate a Significant Milestone!
In His Own Words—Executive Director, Mike Montgomery
COVID-19 has been tough on everyone from the residents, their families and our great staff at Friends Care Community (FCC). Despite how hard it has been, I am very glad to report that we are all hanging in. I believe that in time, we will look back at this very terrible time, as the time when we as a community pulled together and overcame some very tough obstacles.
Despite the obvious isolation that our residents have been experiencing, they have shown strength not previously seen and have been resilient, understanding, and very patient. It is both great and uplifting to see the smiles on our residents’ faces as I walk down the halls while visiting with them.
I can say the same with our families, because they have had to be resilient, understanding, and patient as well. But in addition to this, they have also been supportive of us and the many tough decisions that we have had to make during the last few months. This experience has been even more meaningful to me and the staff at FCC, considering that they have been so negatively impacted by this. It breaks all of our hearts knowing that these caring families and loved ones have not been allowed to visit directly with their loved ones at FCC. The day this changes, we will all be rejoicing.
What I cannot say enough about is our great staff. Everyday there is a new challenge that they have to meet. Not only have they met these ongoing challenges head on, but they have met them with class, professionalism, and a sense of duty and responsibility that is second to none. What they do every day surpasses anything that can be humanly expected from them. Of course, we are very proud of each one of these heroes. Actually they are not just heroes, they are SUPERHEROES!!!
Every day is a challenge, and unfortunately we do not see an end to the pandemic anytime soon. But because of our fantastic residents, our supportive and caring families, and our superheroes that work here, we will stay vigilant and continue to serve our residents to the best of our ability.
Together we know we will survive this. In fact, it is my sincerest belief that we will come through this even stronger as a group and organization than we were before all this pandemic started.
