Say thanks to our dedicated EVS team

The environmental services team at Lawrence Presbyterian Manor has always played a critical role in resident comfort and care. But during a global pandemic, the people in EVS have risen to new challenges and worked harder than ever to make sure our community is safe and comfortable — and that everything keeps running smoothly.

Whether it’s a repair from the maintenance team or a special conversation with someone in housekeeping, the dedicated staff in EVS put our residents first and go the extra mile to keep a smile on everyone’s face.

“I am happy with housekeeping services and my maintenance guys always get the job done,” said Kathryn Roblee.

Resident Beth Brown likewise expressed her appreciation for the EVS crew.

“I like all of the maintenance guys. They are personable and are wonderful to be around,” she said. “Housekeeping is very thorough, and they do a great job.”

Thank you to the hardworking members of our EVS team who have gone above and beyond in recent months.
