As I read the paper today I begin to reflect on all the wonderful people I have moved into Riverbend Retirement Residence.  Each and every person is different, some needing more assiatance then others.  I reflect on the wonderful caring staff that I have worked closely with over the years and the compassionate care they provide.  The article I am reading talks about the employees going on strike.   Why do they deserve wages less then what provincially run facilities are paid?  I hope with all my heart that this is settled immediately as it is only our SENIORS that are suffering.
