My mother has been in St. Mary’s many times for years so much that most people who work there recoginize the minute we come in but she was there for 8 months in 2007 and I was with her every day I had a hotel room across the street but I was with her more than I was in my room. The volunteers are so helpful and it becomes infectious because I started helping too, I would be walking to my mom’s room or the cafeteria or just stretiching my legs and I would see someone who looked lost or we’d be in the elevatro and two people would be talking to each other about where this was or how you got to that place and I would turn around and I would help them I even would walk them to it. So the volunteers are very much needed and apreciated as are the escorts too I know they are paid to be helpful but most of them go beyond their job description to help. The ones at the front door know us so well that they see the car coming I get out and they’re there with 2 wheel chairs because they know we need 2, it’s very helpful so Thank You.
