Retirement Announcement – Gaby Delorme
From: Anitha Thomas, Manager of Care, Menno Home
To: Menno Place Team
Re: RETIREMENT – Gaby Delorme, W1 Menno Home Nursing Supervisor
Gaby Delorme, W1 Nursing Supervisor in Menno Home, has retired as of June 28, 2024.
We wish to extend our sincere gratitude and appreciation to an amazing nurse who has dedicated her nursing career to Menno Place and is now retiring after 26.5 years of working here.
Gaby began her career as a Health Care Assistant working from September 1997 to 2011. She obtained her License in Practical Nursing during this period, and worked as an LPN from 2011 to 2021 in Menno Home. Gaby then became the Nursing Supervisor for W1 and served in that position until her retirement in 2024.
Gaby excelled in her career and states she was “blessed to have been employed in a job I truly loved!” It was certainly easy to see, as she loved working with the residents and staff on W1 and put all her best efforts into her “family” of residents and staff here.
Gaby, we thank you for your long years of service and dedication to Menno Place! We wish you many new happy adventures as you enter this stage of your life! Job well done. We will all miss you!
Summer Water & Juice Dispensers
As we gear up for the warmer months ahead, the Dining Experience team will be providing water and juice dispensers for all staff this summer. Staying hydrated is crucial, and we want to ensure that everyone has easy access to refreshing beverages throughout the day.
Location: The water and juice dispensers will be located in dining rooms, fridges, staff rooms and morning break rooms (In apartments).
Availability: They will be available starting 1st week of July and will remain accessible throughout the summer months July and August.
Variety: We’ll be offering a selection of juices to cater to different tastes and preferences. Feel free to suggest any specific flavors you’d like to see available.
Please remember to bring your own reusable cups or bottles to minimize waste and support our sustainability efforts. (Nursing staff please keep your cups and bottles behind the nursing station and break rooms ONLY).
If you have any questions or suggestions regarding the water and juice dispensers, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Jacob Doss, Dining Experience Manager.
Let’s stay cool, hydrated, and productive this summer!
