On behalf of our father, we just wanted to thank you and all the support staff at CHATS. Over the last 10 years, your services and staff have allowed dad to live in his home and cope/live with day-to-day activities and for this, we are forever grateful.

CHATS has made such a tremendous difference to my family. Before attending the Adult Day Program, my husband was isolated, frustrated, and challenged. Sadly, he required more support than I could provide on my own, while I recovered myself, and took care of my mother. Since our introduction to CHATS three years ago, he has come out of his shell, making friends with other clients, volunteers, and staff, and allowing me time to recover and become a stronger caregiver.

Thank you, CHATS, for the wonderful support you’ve given to me during the last four-and-a-half months. Ever since I fell and fractured the cap on my left arm, and afterward had surgery on my left hand, your concern and care were very much appreciated. The ladies who attended to me were always very cheerful and encouraging. Thank you for all that you do.

Thank you to all of the Day Program staff and volunteers. Since my husband started coming there, he has really come out of his shell and is much happier at home as well. He speaks so highly of you all and is enjoying himself immensely. It also gives me some time to myself, and I always know he is in good hands!

For the past two weeks, I have had help from one of your Support Workers. She has assisted me since I came home from the hospital and was unable to care for myself. She is a credit to her profession. She is kind and caring and eager to be of service. I cannot thank her enough for her sunny disposition when I was feeling low, due to the pain of the surgery. Thank you, CHATS, for providing this much-needed service.

Many thanks to your incredible team! You are all truly people who make a huge difference in the lives of seniors. Every good deed that all of you do every single day brings so much light and love into our darkened world. You are all angels.

I recently joined the program for South Asian seniors, and am enjoying (all the activities). This is the happiest time I have spent in Canada. It reminds me of my school days with my friends in Sri Lanka.

Thank you for all the help we received from CHATS Meals on Wheels during my mother’s recent illness. Despite our own difficulty in organizing ourselves, your wonderful volunteers were always able to supply us with what we needed. Everyone we dealt with was pleasant and extremely helpful. We are very grateful for everything you did.

I thoroughly enjoyed the session and I didn’t know this service existed. I felt I was not an outcast in the group, and it was okay to talk about what I was going through.

Mother loves CHATS and all of you! And though she cannot often remember names, she certainly takes away all the attention and care you provide for her, and tells us how much she enjoys all of you! Thank you so much for all your efforts.
