I received a call from Crystal at Woodland Terrace, who said she was my mom’s nurse today. Crystal was calling to let me know that my mom had “had a fall” this morning, but that she was fine. I asked her what happened and she said that “earlier this morning” an alarm had sounded to […]
I just finished a thirty-five minute phone call with Susan Macklefresh, the Director of Nursing at Woodland Terrace. Susan was unbelievably kind, considerate, and caring. She told me that when my mom was transferred from Halifax Hospital on Friday, they had neglected to include in her chart what medications to administer, and that when a […]
I called Volusia Hospitalists at (386) 304-3827 in an attempt to reach Dr. Wafik to determine why the list of medications Woodland Terrace had seemed to be so outdated. The answering service told me they’d give the message to Dr. Wafik and have him call me back “immediately”.
I called EveAnn at (386) 254-4226 and left her a two-minute message to let her know how disappointed I was in the quality of interactions I’d had with Woodland Terrace over the weekend, and to remind her that I was tremendously upset that none of the several administrators at Halifax Hospital to whom she had […]
I called Woodland Terrace at (386) 738-3433 and left a message for Marie.

I called Woodland Terrace at (386) 738-3433 to try to talk to my mom. A receptionist answered and I explained that my mom was Kathleen Gagne, that she had been discharged from Halifax Hospital on Friday, and that I had been unable to talk to her yet even though I’d called there twice already. The […]
I decided to use this domain, kathiegagne.com, to document everything that happens with my mom. I have stacks of notes and pieces of paper and emails and faxes scattered across my home and office. I think by keeping everything in one place it will be easier for me to communicate new information with my sister […]
I called Woodland Terrace to see if I could talk to my mom. A woman named Marty answered the phone. I said I was trying to talk to my mom, who had been transferred there on Friday evening. She put me on hold for about thirty seconds and then returned to tell me that mom […]
I tried Google searching for a website for Woodland Terrace. I looked for “woodland terrace” and “woodland terrace daytona” but couldn’t find an official website for the facility on the first search engine results page. I did find a link to the local-nursing-homes.com site, where someone posted a one-star review of Woodland Terrace and noted: […]
I got a call from Marie shortly after speaking with Ida Alvis. I assume it was Marie Garcia, the Admissions / Marketing Director at Woodland Terrace. (I’m not going to list the phone number here because, since I could swear I heard children playing in the background, I am almost certain she was calling me […]
