You’re invited to two events that support caregivers through anticipatory grief care, emotional support, and community connection.
All around the event you could hear the excitement as residents recognized cars from their own history.
Chef’s Plate offers a restaurant style meal without the pressure of tipping, taxes or managing challenges of mobility and transportation.
Thank you to everyone who joined us. If you weren’t able to be there you can watch the full memorial here.

Re: Fraser Health Resident Satisfaction Survey – Menno Hospital
Dear Residents and Families of Menno Hospital,
At Menno Place, the comfort, care and connection of our residents are top priorities. In support of this work, beginning this month, we will be partnering with Fraser Health on a resident satisfaction survey for our residents in Menno Hospital.
This short survey will be made available to both residents and families and will cover a variety of program areas. Feedback received will help inform future updates or changes to services to improve residents’ experiences in our care community.
A Fraser health staff member will be on site administering surveys on June 16th from 9am- 5 pm. You are invited to attend and participate on behalf of your family member.
You may also help your family member to complete the survey using this link by the scheduled survey date, at a time that works for you.

The survey link is also available on posters with QR codes located throughout our care community. The survey will be closed after the scheduled survey date.
If you have any questions, please let us know.
Thank you in advance for your feedback.
Smitha Varghese,
Director of Care

On May 15th, we had the opportunity to come together as a community to reflect on our journey and work over the past year and look ahead to what we are doing in the near future.
The open house was marked by an update in four specific areas – our strategic priorities – Christian Values, Home of Choice, Service Excellence, and People and Culture.
We were pleased to have 50 of our staff complete the event passport which shows that they received the update at each of the booths. These staff were entered in a draw to win an Amazon gift card. Congratulations to the winner – Milet from our Housekeeping and Laundry team!
We had many external stakeholders join us including community partners and a member of our Board and we thank them for coming. It was an encouraging time to see a strong representation across our organization, and throughout the Abbotsford community.
Thank you to everyone who attended, contributed, and helped bring this event to life.
