Dear Daniela and Nellie,
There are not enough words to say how grateful we are to both of you for the kindness, care and devotion extended to our cousin Frankie during the last several weeks of her life.
Although Frankie was generally difficult; you never seem to loose patience or understanding. Your Adult Home Care is in our opinion near to perfect and we shall for ever feel indebted to both of you. Your response to our many phone calls and visits always comforted us and made a most difficult time more endurable.
Hope booth of you and families have a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous and Happy New Year. Again, our sincere thanks and appreciation.
Devotedly,
Kenneth and Dorene Marshall

Dear Daniela,
I cannot let you know how much I appreciate the care and loving attention you and your staff gave my mother while she was a resident at Grandparents House. I have to tell you it was a very stressful event when I needed to move her from her assisted living facility into an adult foster care home. I had visions of a warehousing facility and was having to try to adjust my thinking to accept that as the next step in her final days. It was a wonderful eye opening experience to discover that a house like Grandparents House existed for the loving care of very special people in the days when they can no longer be responsible for caring for themselves. You not only cared for her housing but you were there for her no matter what and always with what seemed to be special care and affection. I know for a fact that it made her final days bearable and it certainly took a great deal of strain off myself knowing that she was in such good hands.
If you ever have the need to give someone a reference please fell free to have them contact me direct at (edited, available on request) and I will be happy to tell them what wonderful care their loved one can expect to receive and what a beautiful setting that care will be provided in.
Thank you for everything.
Most sincerely,
Edd Scott

Dear Sirs,
I am writing to express my high regard for the care attendants at the adult foster home at
My mother, Miriam Marie Stocking, was a resident there form March 1997 to July 1997.
I found the facility very well managed and excellent in caring for my mother. When I would visit my mother once or twice a week the care attendant was always there doing care duties for the residents.
My mother condition did not allow for her to take her meals with the other residents but was served her meals in bed in her room.
I found that the facility was always clean and well kept and would highly recommend it to anyone needing good foster home care.
Sincerely
Richard P. Stocking

To Whom It May Concern::
I am the primary care physician for Clara Marson, a 90-year-old white female who is a resident in adult foster care. The adult foster care giver, Daniela, has taken care of this patient with great competence and compassion for the last several years. The patient has progressed from level one to level three foster care and Daniela has provided excellent care at all levels. Furthermore, as the patient requires more medical care at the level three foster care level, I am confident that Daniela will be able to provide it.
Respectfully,
Mark McKinstry, MD

Dear Daniela,
It’s been a month now since dad died. It’s still difficult for me. When I come by, I always start crying. I want to thank you for the three wonderful years you gave dad. Your love and patience are immeasurable. I always knew he was taken care of so I never worried.
That was a load off my shoulders so when I came to visit, it was enjoyable and never clattered with problems. I deeply appreciate all of the business and doctor details that you took care of. You were all family to dad and treated him that way. You were with him 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week. It’s natural to grow close (oops! I’m crying again!)
Love and Kisses to all,
Anita Malady & family

Daniela-as sad as this year became for me your constant care, concern and kindness made it bearable. Thank you for everything you did to help mother in her last painful days and hours. We continued to feel secure in the knowledge that you were overseeing her care and welfare, then relax a bit away from her. I pray that you have this sense of security when the time comes in your family.
Really words can’t say how deeply appreciative I am—we all are! I love you dear One!

I am happy to serve as a reference for Daniela Onufrei, who has provided consistent quality adult foster care and displayed genuine concern and feeling for her charges over the years I have known her.
Since February of 1994, Daniela and her staff have cared for Elaine R. O’Brien, a cousin for whom my sister and I have been trustees for many years. Nearly eighty-nine years old, Elaine has a colostomy and a catheter and is wheelchair bound, and in no way assists with her own care other then to feed herself.
(Privacy: edited)
Elaine has always been independent and stubborn, and old age has not improved things; she can be difficult at times, not to say downright uncooperative and nasty. Commutation is extremely difficult due to the hearing loss and even simple thing require a lot to time and patience.
Despite all of this heavy care and difficult circumstances, I never hear any complains from Daniela or the staff. Daniela tells me thing that goes on, but I never have a sense that she resent any aspect of Elaine’s care, and I always feel that she has been honest in her evaluation. If I ask for information, she provides it readily and with good humor. Of her staff, Maria deserves a special mention for her consistent gentle demeanor and kind countenance. I was touched by her sadness and loss when one man at the home died.
Through Elaine’s various medical and dental needs, Daniela has arranged the transportation and escorted her to numerous appointments, each time saving me half a day a 40 mile round trip. She has been involved in discussions with Elaine’s doctors side by side with me though surgeries and various medical crises. With Daniela, I have a partner in looking after Elaine’s needs and I trust her to the extent that it lightens my load of both work and worry. I’m thankful for the work and dedication, and am pleased to recommend her most highly.
Sincerely,
Patricia A. Yamada
