The following is an excerpt from Carla Suero’s speech at the Grand Opening Celebration on October 8, 2019. Carla Suero is President and CEO at Heathwood Assisted Living & Memory Care.

 



We are so pleased we have such a great turnout today. We are so proud of our 41-year history in this building. There have been at least six renovations over the years – for whatever reason we always seem to change the location of the porte cochere and the front door. We thought it was fitting to have the ceremony in this location.

 

There are five people who are with us today who have worked in this building the entire 41 years. Bob Chur, Nancy Toney, Judy Carpenter, Donna Dadswell and Donna Van Horn. These folks are the backbone of our stellar reputation and we are eternally grateful to them for adapting so easily though all the changes.

 

I think everyone can appreciate all the hard work that goes into a project like this. A special shout out to thank Michele Ladouceur our Administrator and Dave Duffy the Environmental Services Manager her at the Williamsville location. They both worked tirelessly over the last year. I also want to thank all the staff. We truly have the best of the best! It is very difficult to deal with the day to day operations of an existing building and trying to open an addition at the same time.

 

Thank you to the whole team. It is an honor to work with all of you!
