As I begin my first day of retirement, I would like to express my extreme appreciation to Bay Vista Commons. A lot of places say "we are a family here" but it appears just to be a cliché. BVC is TRULY a family --From the Administrator down to every single employee. You could not have a better boss than Jamie Payseno! She is kind and sympathetic yet firm at the same time. She has built a solid group of Dept. heads--Mary, Josie, Nieves, Tony, Mieko and now the addition of Justin. Kathy has been a steadfast assistant in the nursing dept--outlasting us all--Thank you for your help. Also--my other nursing buddy Carolyn, who kept my sanity many days. I cannot name all the staff by name, but you could not ask for a better bunch of people. They Love and Care for the residents like they were part of their own family---and they become exactly that!! They would all give you the shirt off their backs if you needed it--no matter their own financial situation. They have become part of my own family. And then there are residents AND their families. They are like all families--very variable in their personalities--but you love them all anyway. And, I am sure you can understand why the residents would become family to us but you have to understand that the families become family to us also. They trust us with their most precious gifts--their family. We establish a relationship with them too. We have some wonderful families at BVC too--and thank you for all you do!! In closing, I would just like to say thank you so much for allowing me the honor and privledge of working with you all. You will always hold a special place in my heart
