I was so touched at a recent visit to Nazarethville, I was brought to tears. But in a good way…read more This facility was founded in 1974 and sponsored by the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth. It is open to all, but there are many retired nuns living here. On a side note- nuns do not receive any pension when they retire and many work as teachers and nurses, well into their 80's. It's a hard life. I believe that quality of life is the most important aspect of maintaining your health into a ripe old age. The combination of a home-like atmosphere, offering wholesome living, balanced nutritional programs with menu selection, medication supervision, social events and entertainment are what I believe makes Nazarethville so incredible. I was there on a Saturday with my seven year old niece. Her entire class was there to assist the residents in a lively session of bingo. The school requested that we bring a little gift- to be given as prizes to the winners. Apparently tissue is in big demand, because it is not provided and must be purchased by the residents. In addition to this, many people brought little stuffed animals and puzzle books and such. To see the joy and watch the faces of the residents light up when the children arrive is truly wonderful. The children enjoy themselves as well. It's really a win-win combination. Whenever the residents won at bingo, they were able to choose a gift. Although they desperately needed the Kleenex, they all chose the stuffed animals, and then the books and always gave the prize to the child that was assisting them. I can happily tell you that they organize these type of events on a monthly basis. They also have occasions where (well trained) dogs come in with their trainers for a visit. Another big hit! The facility is spotless and adorned with the most beautiful and inspiring artwork.- all painted by a resident. Sister Jolanta. Her beautiful paintings emit a magical light- similar to the work of Thomas Kinkade. She was an art teacher for many years, but I don't believe you can learn to paint like that. It's a gift from God. So remember, if you find any tissue on sale, buy a little extra and stop in Nazarethville. You'll be happy that you did : )

My mom lives in the Northwest Suburbs and we finally decided that she could no longer "do it…read morealone". We had gone through a lot with my dad before he passed away and so we knew what we wanted and what we didn't. Unfortunately, the informal network we used for my dad didn't have women caregivers so we were back to to square one. After doing a lot of research with the local senior center and online we called For Papa's Sake, which is based out of the town next to where my mom lives. From the very first phone call I suspected we had gotten lucky. After a couple of calls and some group discussion between me, my mom and a For Papa's Sake senior person we decided we'd try them out. And am I glad we did. They listened to my mom's and my requests, likes, dislikes, deal-breakers etc. and they never batted an eye. They did say it might take a bit longer than usual (given our needs) to find the right care giver, but they called back in less than 5 days and we had a care giver within 10 days to 2 weeks of that 1st main discussion. That care giver has worked out so well. It has really improved our lives and I can go days without worrying about my mom...what a relief. That's what For Papa's Sake provides: relief! If you are looking for an alternative to a nursing home or aged care facility or whatever you want to call it, For Papa's Sake really cares and I would encourage you to give them a call. They have worked out great for us and I would not recommend them for something so important if they weren't doing a great job.

It was even tougher when I was out of town. I've always felt sorry to my uncle since I couldn't be there for him, when he needed me the most. While trying to find alternative ways to take care of my uncle, I found this home healthcare service called, 'Primus.' I was skeptical at first since it's not me who's taking care of it, it's a 'service.' I've met John, manager of Primus, and Diane, the care giver, to discuss how my uncle will be taken care of... It looked simple on paper, but the 'real' services that they provide, it was better than expected. I couldn't tell the difference at first but a week or two later, I saw it. My uncle's got healthier and happier. What I wanted for my uncle, Diane and Primus team took care of it. I'm looking forward to how well my uncle will be. I'll write more later...

The type of care in Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy were fantastic. I was there 2 months…read moreand received excellent Therapy. As for care given upstairs, it sucked big time. Residents were treated poorly. When I got there from the hospital I was put in a diaper and then placed in a wheelchair where I stayed for my entire 2-month stay. When I would soil my diaper I would have to wait over 2 hours to have it changed. The night staff was terrible I once called to go to the bathroom and the black Aid told me to go in my diaper and she will change it in the morning. The day consisted of getting up in the morning getting dressed and then having breakfast. After breakfast you would go down to therapy. The therapists were fantastic. After a therapy I would go up to my room and have lunch. I could not go to the lunchroom to eat because it was horrible. You said eating with people who did not want to speak. I asked to have my meals served in my room. As for the food it was horrible unedible and disgusting. The only decent thing to eat on the menu was the pudding. I certainly would never ever recommend this facility to anybody
