Dear Michael and Paula,

We can't begin to express our appreciation and gratitude for the wonderful care given by you and the Columbine Caregivers to our parents.  The kindness and compassion shown was unbelievable, especially considering the very difficult months our family was experiencing.  You are all to be commended for the job that you did while caring for our beloved parents.  Michael, a special thanks to you for the time you spent getting to know Dad, taking him to the park, the Symphony and the thoughtful conversations you had with him.  Dad truly appreciated your friendship.  Again, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for the wonderful care !  

Rob and Miriam Peckham's children,

Terry, Cindy, Rob Jr. and John

Dear Columbine Caregivers,

Although this note of appreciation is overdue, our appreciation for all of the staff at CCG is realized almost everyday since we met most of you during the first days of September when my dad, Mr. O, was being cared for by your people.  Many emotions and the transition in our lifestyle are a constant reminder of how much we needed you and how well you all met the challenge.

You can be sure that if anyone asks us if we could recommend a service such as yours that I’ll be more than happy to refer them to you!

 Many thanks to each and every one of you!

Becky and Dan S.

Thank you so very much for all of your help and care with my dad.  Thank you for setting up his care on the day I called.  Marilyn was great and flexible with her time.

We were so lucky to have your service and caregivers over the last few weeks.  We know mom received the best care possible and it was given with love and respect for her dignity.

 Thank you for all of your help.  The care your group provides is absolutely excellent.

Dear Caregivers,

I want to thank all of your staff who did such a marvelous job of taking care of Joe during his final months and weeks, especially Mary who was with us the longest.  They were all very helpful, friendly and caring people… a good testament to the wonderful job you all do.

 With much appreciation,

Dear Paula,

I am so pleased at the care Mr. S is receiving from you and your group.  It is a comfort for me to know that Mrs. S also benefitted from your professional and loving services and that their last chapter (together) was one of dignity and appreciation for what they had as a couple..

Dear Michael and Paula,

As you may know, my father- James Massey- passed away in late June.  I am writing to thank you for providing excellent caregiver services while my Dad was very sick.  My family and I found Columbine to be professional yet personal and flexible.  The primary caregiver, Denise, who was assigned to us, was very competent, caring, self-motivated and quickly developed a connection and compassionate relationship with Dad and the rest of us.  We will gladly recommend Columbine Caregivers to others as we encounter those that need this kind of service.
