Care

Tammy Huffman - 434-529-7190

A month or so ago, I recommended Hannah Morris as a great barber-hairstylist who follows the Covid-19 precautions  Hannah has had to step back from cutting hair. Fortunately, Tammy Huffman, who is the owner of Full Circle Salon where Hannah worked, is cutting men’s hair. I had my first haircut from her, and Tammy is great. She takes Covid-19 seriously. Call or text her for an appointment. She can be contacted at 434-529-7190. You probably will be the only person in the salon, it is a large area perfect for social distancing. She wears a face shield and encourages you to wear a mask, except when it may interfere with cutting your hair. And she is a great barber-hairstylist and a very pleasant person. Full Circle Salon is in the RVCC Center next to the Recycling Center. David Schwiesow. September 2020

Nellysford Barber Shop - 434-361-0009

I would like to recommend Lydia Holsapple at our local Nellysford Barber Shop near the Blue Ridge Pig. Someone put out some incorrect information that Lydia doesn't wear a mask. I got my hair cut today and asked Lydia if she would wear a mask, she said sure no problem. I watched her wipe off the chair from the previous customer before I sat down. On top of that my wife says she gives me a good haircut. Not all barbers I have gone to in the past have gotten a good review.   Russ Russell. August 2020

Christina Chaplin - 540-448-7019.

,

I would like to recommend Christina Chaplin for home cleaning services. We inherited Christina when we purchased our house in Stoney Creek two years ago. She is a hard worker, professional, diligent, brings her own supplies and does a great job. She has solved all the special cleaning issues we have run into. She will use the type of cleaners you request and steam mops my tile floors. I trust her with a key to my house and she comes in when we are away. She also does special cleaning projects for me. Christina has been handling cleaning turn over for rental properties at Wintergreen but would like to fill in some slots with regular weekly houses. She charges by the job and is competitive. I also like how I can pay her by PayPal on my phone!  Her number is 540-448-7019. She communicates by phone and text. Submitted by Beth Frasher and Bart Patel.

Arclincia Cooke

I recommend Arclincia Cooke (Clincy) without reservation. She is an exceptional caregiver who cared for both my parents for a year and a half before they passed away. My father suffered from Alzheimer’s Disease and then a broken hip and my mom was very frail with dementia. Clincy is a warm, loving, and very capable caregiver whom the whole family, including my parents, came to love. As you know, when caring for the elderly, many difficult situations arise but Clincy is a problem solver who came up with many amazing solutions. She is honest and trustworthy, and we had no qualms about leaving her alone in our home with my parents and gave her total control of their care, knowing they were in the best hands. She managed to schedule and handling visits from nurses, social workers, aides, and other volunteers from Hospice along with ordering and dispensing medications. Clincy is also very responsible, punctual, and flexible. I don’t think there was anything that I ever asked her to do that she did not happily do. I credit her with keeping my mom’s spirits up after my father’s death with her upbeat and engaging personality. Anyone would be lucky to have her. Submitted by Linda Hobson 540-456-6812

Connie Torre - 434-260-4493

,

I recommend Connie Torre as a companion/helper. She worked several years taking care of my elderly father who had Alzheimer’s disease until he passed away several weeks ago. While Dad at times could be very difficult she was patient and loving to him helping him with personal care and meals. She took him for walks, played bingo and read to him every day sometimes singing to him which he enjoyed and had a calming effect on him. Before his Alzheimer’s had progressed, she used to take him to the senior center. Connie is extremely reliable, always on time and very flexible in staying late or overnight if we asked. We will miss Connie. We were all fortunate to have her loving and kind care. Her number is 434-260-4493 Submitted by Linda Hobson
