Michael Jones - 5 Star Review
Chateau Madeleine arranged a very nice birthday party for my friend, a World War II vet, who turned 100 years old on March 14th. Actually, ten residents were sharing a March birthday party, but the centennial celebration made the occasion exceptional. Chef Kevin and his staff did a wonderful job on the food; piping hot, very tasty and included conch fritters and empanadas. The Chateau’s staff served all the guests individually as they were seated at tables in the party room. Champagne highlighted the festivities along with a handsome cake commemorating Walter’s 100 years. Eric Hardoon was a most charming master of ceremonies and they had a guitarist entertained with old favorites that everybody could sing-along with. Stella Tobin, activity director, worked hard to ensure that all the residents participated to the extent they wanted and were able. While his hearing is weak and he uses a walker for mobility, my friend enjoyed the party enormously. “I hope I get ten more years,” he said to the gathering at the party. “I’ve still got a lot to do.”
