Farewell, TED- New Photo of Activity Director Posted in Front Desk

Ted Treat during our Sausalito Lunch and Excursion last June 

I received the following e-mail from Ted Treat today. He requested I forward this to all my Fellow Residents here at THD as well as in my blogs. 

If you have read my blogs, you probably know that Ted was the one that got me interested on AI.  This is the reason why I will never forget Ted. He was the best Activity Director since my move here at THD 28 months ago. He was smart, industrious and had empathy with the seniors citizens like me and the rest of about 150 residents here at THD. I have no doubt, he will succeed in any endeavor he will pursue in the future. I will missed you, TED. 

Here's his Linked-in page and his private e-mail is ted@tedtreat.com

Speaking of Activity Directors, I saw in the Front desk a few minutes ago, the photo of a woman named Vanessa De Guzman. She looks like a Filipino-American. I have not met her yet, but I wish to welcome her and hopefully she will stay long. If she does, she will be breaking the curse of rapid employees turnover💚 here at THD the last 3 years especially in the Activity and Services Section ( Drivers and Front Desk).  

   " It’s with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to all the amazing people I’ve had the privilege and honor of getting to know at The Heritage. There are so many wonderful residents and friends I’ve met here, and each of you has touched my life in ways I’ll never forget.

When I first joined, my role was in leasing. Shortly after, Cidney, who was leading activities, chose to move on after growing exhausted with the management. She took the time to show me the ropes and warn me about what lay ahead. Yet I’m grateful I stayed, because what truly mattered were the people, all of you. You made it worth showing up every day. Taking on activities gave me the chance to connect with you, and that became the most meaningful part of my experience.

I didn’t know how much joy I’d find in the role. Every event, every outing, every craft session... it was never about the activity itself, but about being together. The laughter, the stories, and the shared moments made each day special. You brought warmth and fun into my work, and I can’t thank you enough for that.

So while this may be goodbye for now, I hope it’s just “see you soon.” Thank you for making my time at The Heritage something I’ll always treasure. With love and gratitude,Ted"

💚Personal Note:  No Betting Allowed:

I will not accept any bets on how long will the new Activity Director be employed here at THD. The last time I bet, I lost.
