assured of continued prayers and I am glad that you have the support of your entire family.

<div style="margin-bottom:0in">Dear Sunday Community,</div>
<div style="margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom:0in">On Tuesday, Jan. 17<sup>th</sup>, Mary Lou will be moving from Providence Health Care to a long-term care home. Her stay at Providence has been an interim or temporary placement while we were waiting for a long-term opening to
come up. The place she will be moving to is called True Davidson Acres, located at 200 Dawes Road, just north of Danforth Avenue in Toronto. It has 187 residents, and is operated by the City of Toronto on a not-for-profit basis.</div>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">In a time when there are long waiting lists for most LTC homes, it was somewhat remarkable to us that Mary Lou was offered a room at True Davidson within two weeks of her LTC application being fully completed. When the phone call
came that she was being offered a room, we were able to arrange for a visit to the home and a tour, and so I went there, accompanied by our son Mike and his wife Jess, to look around and to talk with a couple of the staff. Mary Lou will have a private room,
and the home provides a variety of services for its residents. We have heard a couple of good reports from individuals about the quality of the care at True Davidson, so we are all supporting Mary Lou as she makes this move and we are hoping for the best.<br>
</p>
<div style="margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom:0in">Visitors are allowed at True Davidson Acres, although everyone entering the building has to answer a COVID screening questionnaire and do a rapid test for COVID. As part of Mary Lou’s admission process on Tuesday, there will
be a lengthy meeting which will provide us with more details about things like their visiting policy, in-house programs and other issues. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom:0in" dir="ltr">Dawes Road runs north from Danforth Avenue about halfway between Main Street and Victoria Park Avenue. Going north from Danforth, Dawes Road heads basically north-east and crosses Victoria Park Avenue just south of
St. Clair Avenue. True Davidson Acres, at 200 Dawes Road, is about halfway between Danforth and Victoria Park. I believe there is a Dawes Road bus. You can verify this, and the route, by checking on the TTC website. </div>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">For the time being, it is not really possible to phone Mary Lou. We need to make arrangements for her to have a phone that’s easier for her to use. I can send out more information about that later on.<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">As I have shared with you previously, this whole process has been very difficult for all of us. It is painful for Mary Lou and I to be separated, painful also to see Mary Lou in mental distress. We have very much appreciated the
kind and thoughtful words that many of you have shared with us, and we are grateful for your prayers. Don’t stop praying. We need all the help we can get.<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Love to you all,</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Brian</p>
