LETTER: Former Langley Lodge staffer praises seniors facility

Staff worked hard before the pandemic, a former housekepper writes

Dear Editor,

I am a retired housekeeper from Langley Lodge. I worked there from 2007 to 2017 and was never happier at a job site.

I was in housekeeping and also got to spend time with some of the residents. I was always impressed with the level of care from the nurses, care aides, physiotherapists, dietary staff, housekeeping, and the totally competent management.

I know that in housekeeping, we cleaned hard everyday and that included sanitizing all contact points, so I can only imagine how much harder they are working against this horrific virus, COVID-19.

Wishing them all the best. When I worked at the lodge, my theory was to be a successful worker. One must think with the heart.

Anne Nolan, Langley
