My mother was experiencing progressive dementia and needed constant care. The owner of this home when my mother first arrived was very nice and caring and I was happy to have my mother in her care. The facility was sold and the new owner, is even more wonderful than the previous owner--I feel so lucky. Every time I went to visit my mother the facility was spotlessly clean and smelled fresh (so many facilities don't). Even though my mother had become combative, would curse, bite and claw at the care takers, they were patient and nurturing. They were also extremely helpful when I needed to get mom into my car to take her places. [name removed] frequently did special things for the residents--birthday parties, holiday celebrations and the like. She always kept me informed as to what was going on with my mother. At the end she helped me find a Hospice nurse for my mother so that she would not have to go to a hospital. I am grateful that I found such a lovely place for my mother.

This is the first Adult Family Home we visited. Did not care for the location. The home seemed a little outdated and don’t think it would be a good fit for our mother. [Name removed] was wonderful and shared a lot of insightful information with us which we very much appreciated.
