BLACKSBURG — Residents of the Founders Forest independent living community at Warm Hearth Village recently thanked employees for their leadership, protection, and excellent response to the challenges presented by the pandemic.
Officers on the Founders Forest Resident Council presented Warm Hearth Village President and CEO Brad Dalton with a special certificate at their March meeting.
“The certificate enumerates several general examples of actions for which we are especially thankful,” said Les Myers, President of the Founders Forest Resident Council. “But space limitations make it impossible to cite everything. Saying “thank you” seems woefully inadequate.”
Myers said, “I was especially struck by the early recognition of the pandemic’s seriousness and the timely preparations and protocols; the recognizing and addressing special resident needs such as shopping, activities, new ways to communicate, and medical issues; managing the vaccination process for all in the village to have access to vaccinations; and the successful, transparent and timely communications.”
“I’m so proud to know that our efforts were meaningful and helpful to our residents,” Dalton said. “It was a difficult year with some difficult decisions, and this certificate validates everyone’s hard work and determination. I couldn’t be more proud of the entire Warm Hearth family.”
