We came to work at Letchworth in 1970, I just remember they were beautiful people that needed us to survive. They called us "mom" or mami. We treated them with love and they became part of our family. That picture that you see here ...was never like that, there was a medication room and only the staff asigned had the key. Yes the state locate them in Letchworth because the family who responsible could not or would not take care of them. We also heard those horrible stories like many other people but those are not our memories.There was programs, trips, swimming pools. I remember staff compieing who kept there asigned clients better (clean,well fed and more) We have good memories of Letchworth.
