A Gazette article by Bill Radford profiled Companion Cottage and resident director Patricia Mennit, and contained the following testimonial from a current client:

I'm glad we found you. Yours is the kind of day care I have been seeking for Joanne.

Joanne had been attending day care for more than four years before coming to Companion Cottage. Our other providers seemed, at times, a bit chaotic and over-crowded. Joanne now enjoys your comfortable and pleasant surroundings with a few other guests who can get to know each other. She gets much individual attention from you and enjoys the activities. She is proud of the beaded articles and other things she makes. She also enjoys the lunches you serve.

I am comfortable knowing she is getting the best of care during the hours she is away from me and that she is enjoying her time to the fullest.

Thanks for being there for us,
Ed Baker
