"We would like to recognize the entire Harbor House team. Thank you for everything you have done for our parents over the past 5 years. When it came time to move our parents into your home, we did not know what to expect or what this part of their journey would bring. Your kindness and compassion never went unnoticed. You truly are all angels on earth. We appreciate you and you will all have a very special place in our hearts forever. Here are things we have witnessed from the Harbor House team over the years: You give from the heart each and every day. Working at the Harbor House is not just a job; you make it your calling. You know just how to bring a smile upon the face of a resident. You offer a warm hug whenever one is sad or lonely - this includes family members too. You are always providing a tender smile and gentle kiss on their cheek. You know just how to bring out the sparkle in their eyes. You never judge or criticize a situation; you always make them feel important and wanted. On your days off, you still take time out of your day to bring your pets to share with the residents. You even bring in your children to share extra hugs; which always brings a smile. Some residents bless you, and other times may curse you; you take it in stride. You see people at their worst and at their best; you love the anyway. As the disease advances and residents can no longer speak; you still know what they need. You look out for the residents with true care, concern and pride. You allow the residents to maintain their dignity. When they need assistance with cares, you always respect their feelings and maintain privacy. You accept them all with open arms and do not pass judgment. You offer them kindness and empathy when they may be grieving. You understand that every resident is someone’s mother, father, daughter, or son. You can turn a challenging situation into a positive one. You step into people’s lives and truly make a difference. Thank you, for making a difference every day in the lives of our parents and the other residents’ who reside at Harbor House. We hope that God blesses you with many angels in your own lives, because He blessed us with all of you. Grateful Forever, Robert and Dolores Martinek Family”
How can we begin to thank you for all you did for our Dad and for our family? You cared for all of us and led us by the hand through the ups and downs of Dad’s final 2 ½ years. With your expertise and compassion, you helped Dad maintain his dignity in his last days and aided us as his life passed. We are so pleased we found you, are in awe of what you do for your residents and their families and sing your praises whenever we get the chance. We thank you and so would Dad.” Love, Mary Kay Hanson, Teri Brauenreiter and Jeff Kauffman"
We would like to thank each and every one of you for taking care of our Mom with such loving kindness and compassion. God has blessed us so much to let us have her live in such an amazing home!! We appreciate everything you all do!” Love, Mickelson Family
My biggest concern with others caring for Dad was that he be treated with dignity. People at the Harbor House did that from day one. I could not be more pleased with the way Dad was treated at the Harbor House. The staff truly cared for my Dad and treated him with love and respect during his stay there. I feel blessed that I was able to help Dad at the end of his life. I thank the Harbor staff for allowing Dad’s life to end with dignity.” Yours, David Morley
We would like to thank you all for taking care of Mom. We are blessed to have the wonderful Love and Care that you give her. Thanks also for giving her the XX & OO’s when we are not there.” Love, Greg and Marlys Belden
After having placed her in assisted living for only 1 month, the facility deemed it was not able to care for her because of ‘wandering’ issues. I then chose Harbor House because it had a welcome and homey atmosphere. Mother fit in right away and set up housekeeping by offering her “hand” dusting service. She always thought of Harbor House as her home and even thought some of the residents were her relatives. The staff took very good care of her and always let me know what was happening and if they had any concerns. I am very thankful for their care and concern for my Mother, for their compassion in treating all of the residents as their own family, and their willingness to meet all of the needs of their residents. During her six years of living at Harbor House they truly did all they could to meet my Mother’s physical and emotional needs, for that I will always be thankful.” Thank you, Marilyn Thames
'..we want to treat all persons we
are in contact with respect and trust, like a family member'. I just want
to bring to your attention a member of your staff who absolutely exemplifies
this attitude of treating everyone like family. Tammy Picciolo serves the
residents and their families at the Harbor House in Sheboygan. Last March, our family had to find a new home for our mother, Mildred Kaat. She was at a nursing home since November 2006 following a hip fracture as well as dementia. After falling several times, the nursing home staff suggested she would be better off at a different kind of facility and Harbor House was one of the recommended places to visit. After checking out several facilities in Sheboygan County, we decided Harbor House would be Mom’s new home. We have been extremely impressed by the family atmosphere and caring attitude demonstrated by everyone from the very first day. Mom has Alzheimer’s disease and has difficulty sleeping at night. Tammy would try to get Mom to sleep by lying next to her for a while. When she would try to leave Mom would hold on to her trying to get her to stay. Tammy bought a stuffed dog for Mom so she could snuggle up with that in bed. Then she even bought a body pillow for Mom to cuddle. She went far above and beyond our expectations to help Mom get her needed rest. Our family is tremendously satisfied with all of the care Mom receives and every staff member provides outstanding service at Harbor House. When I heard how much Tammy did of her own volition I felt compelled to write this letter to you. Our family really appreciates Harbor House and we feel particularly fortunate to have someone like Tarnmy Picciolo serving the families of Sheboygan’s Harbor House. Sincerely, Daniel L. Kaat ( for the Mildred Kant family)
