(Note Received by Freda the NWMOAAA
Ombudsman Manager)
"I did get in to (long-term care facility
name omitted) . . . they took me
over to see this place, and I just fell in
love with it, it's very pretty and new . . .
The people are so nice and it's kind of run
like a hospital with aides and medication
and all, but I really like it. Thank
you so much for all your help.
Your Friend. . ."

"Just a few thoughts from this study.
Expressing our thoughts together has been
good and has caused me to see myself.
I have always been rather quiet and waited
for others to speak first. I felt what
I had to say wasn't important, that no one
cared for me not vocalizing
my input (that) might help others.
Each person has his different experiences in
life, plus different education.
I (learned that I) must reach out and
encourage others which will help them and
myself. I am always encouraged by
visiting with others.
Walking is so helpful."
