We'll miss you Janet
We at Greenacre Homes & School recently had to say "goodbye" to Janet Carleton who has decided to retire. Janet has been part of the Greenacre Homes' family since April 2000. During her time here she has been an integral part of the team working as intake co-ordinator and liaison with our psychiatrist Dr. Hersh, in addition to her caseload duties and long term partnership with the crew at the Occidental facility. Despite her quiet demeanor, during her time with us, Janet demonstrated integrity, wisdom, compassion and clinical acumen and she was definitely not afraid to voice her opinion on matters in which she believed. Janet was delighted by the young men with whom she worked and was not afraid to laugh out loud at some of their more peculiar antics. Janet's compassion extended to the feral felines who roam the area near the school. One by one she would capture them, have them "fixed', release them then provide on-going sustenance. They always knew that her laugh was a sign of affection. I, for one, will miss her terribly. She was my office mate and confidant, calmly and quietly putting up with my occasional(?) rants.
On behalf of everyone, thank you for everything Janet!
