Placing a parent anywhere at anytime is often a difficult decision, several months ago we placed my…read morefather into the groves. The groves is a nice place and my father has made the adjustment and now feels very much at home here. The thing that strikes me the most is the entire staff has done everything imaginable to ease my fathers transition into their care as well as our family's transition of placing him into their care. The grounds are behind locked gates, both my wife and I received keys and are free to visit 24/7. This is in sharp contrast to most other homes that have rigid limited hours of visitation. In addition this unlimited access gives us great peace of mind that nothing weird is going on after hours and that our family member is safe and having his needs met. When not providing resident care the staff is always busy cleaning or cooking and always seems to be on the move. The absence of the odor of urine at the front door is a tell tale sign that your loved one is being properly cared for. The floor plans are wide open and large, but still warm and almost cozy in many ways. Institutional residence Vs. jail would be a nice way of saying it. I had my father in independent living for many years and when the time did come that his ability to self care was over and the time was upon us to upgrade the level of intervention and assistance we toured over a dozen places before deciding on the Groves. It's a choice we are happy we made without regrets. The staff has been very helpful, and while all the staff has been exceptional, Jennifer in particular has been fantastic with my father. And Mary sets the standard of great care. I think the greatest fear we have in placing a loved one into a care home is that are we doing the right thing? I think the need to do the right thing over shadows our need for caution out of fear we might do the wrong thing. Both my wife and I are happy we have made the right choice in placing my father at the groves. My father has made it his new home and has adjusted well. We pick him up numerous times a month and go to breakfast, take him to his appointments and after granting them permission, he often leaves in his electric chair to get out and conduct his personal business. While everyone's need are different, our needs have been met and again we are very, if not extremely satisfied with our choice in placement as well as the care and interaction my father receives at the groves. I do wish it was easier to load my wheel chair bound father at the curb, but since the staff and the owners seem compelled to park closest to the building it force me to load him into a vehicle from the gravel areas Vs. at the sidewalk.
