Clare P. Shanley, Executive Director
The 80th Street Residence
430 East 80th Street
New York, NY 10075
Dear Clare:
I write this letter to express my deepest admiration for the 80th Street
Residence. More important than my admiration is my profound feeling
of gratitude to you, Lindsey Harbison, and the entire staff at 80 Street.
My wife -Edith, who has had dementia for the past seven years, is thriving
at your facility. My daughters and I almost gave up hope that we would
ever see her smiling again, and now she is in good mood and smiling much
ofthe time.
You are to be commended for the skill and training of the
entire staff. Their warmth and kindness to all the residents is deeply
appreciated. Please advise Mr. Kaplan and Mr. Morehead of my deepest
gratitude to them for the work they have done in establishing a facility
of such high standards and quality. If there is anything I could ever
do to help them it would be my greatest pleasure. One day I hope to
meet them.
God bless all of you.
Sincerely yours,
Paul Goldman
