There’s no moment too big or too small for our employees to tackle. They go
above and beyond to make a difference every day and go out of their way to
bring a smile to their residents’ faces. Take a look at some of these memorable
moments from the past few months.
1. Chartwell Barrington resi-
dent, Dorcas, recently mused

day when everyone was happy."
Staff took Dorcas' thoughtful

residence. The retirement

Oshawa, ON, has always loved historical
planes and automobiles, which is why
staff arranged for him to take a

planes, tanks and jeeps!
