13 | The IFP -H alton H ills | T hursday,M ay 14,2020 theifp.ca LETTER TO THE EDITOR I wanted to give a much-de- served shout out to Christoph Summer and each of his staff at Mountainview Residence. Mountainview Residence was affected severely by COVID-19. This can happen so easily when people are symptom-free and un- knowingly infect others. In unprecedented times, Christoph and his staff have of- fered wonderful care, compas- sion and positive energy to resi- dents and families of residents. They have been short-staffed and everyone has worked tirelessly, pitching in to help in any area they are able. There have been evenings when Christoph has personally sat with my mother for an hour, offering her consolation. Meals have had to be delivered to more than 200 rooms in a facil- ity that hasn't been set up to dis- tribute meals. Each day the staff have parad- ed around the premises, singing and dancing, putting a smile on everyone's face. Christoph has worked tire- lessly from early in the morning until he sends his daily message to residents and families, many times after 11 p.m. Thank you, Christoph, and thank you to all your staff. It is ev- ident that you love what you do. SHELLEY PHIPPS HALTON HILLS AMAZING CARE DISPLAYED AMID CRISIS VISIT THEIFP.CA/REGISTER FOR MORE
