Abbott Gardens - Cranbrook

Nice place to live

I lost first three text.lol. so,here we go, I am sharing my journey since arriving here in 2013, as, I came back to Canada after being raised in California, living as a Canadian, by not getting my American citizenship. I arrived here,as, I had to leave the U.S., due to a very toxic situation, meeting, first, with Nancy Reid, at the teahouse, they r amazing young ladies there, helped me start over in my 50's, due to living 40 years, in a very toxic marriage,and childhood, as well. After the teahouse, onto Kathy Brown, a smart,strict,no nonsense kinda lady, great, witty lady! And she puts up with alot, but I had never seen such a self confident women in my life. Noone to cross, and it was difficult, as, I am older than these ladies, that took me in,that cared for me, cried with me ,laughed with me and were beyond patient with me,( I was beyond grieving..leaving my kids,grandkids,friends and family, all back in the states,as, I had issues,big ones,ask any of these women!But felt safe here, the first time ever, in my life. After "Kathy Brown", there is "Danene", proper management, she goes above and beyond her title here. We all have issues here,but as busy as she is, she takes a few minutes to hear us, while her foots in her office door, trying to deal with management stuff .lol. but we all feel so safe here, it's beautiful, clean and friendly..but, most of all, Danene, treats us with dignity and, oh...such kindness and always with a smile. She deserves a medal,omg, I hope this goes through.lol. tired of loosing it,lol as,I do chatter and overtext.lol. I don't know where I would be without all these people that run Mental health...the smartest,kindest,understanding, caring, fun, group of people, I have ever met. Abbott Gardens is my home now, and beyond proud to live here! Thankyou Canada, and all the kindness u have brought into my messy world, since coming back to Canada, I am a very proud Canadian and human being now! Thanks to all of these people and more! My heart is finally calm and at peace, even while here alone. I am finally safe, I truly have never,ever, felt as safe,nor cared about, as I do rt now,rt here, at Abbott's Garden's! Thanks to all of u, that go above and beyond, to make us feel better about ourselves and safe! Thankyou...
