No one prepares you for caring for both parents at the same time, with two very different needs. Our mother had dementia. Our father was recovering from a stroke. We were overwhelmed and trying to make the right call for our parents.
The staff didn't just know our mother's name, they knew her. Her routines, what calmed her, how to reach her on the hard days. The sundowning was something our family had struggled with for a long time, and watching them handle those moments with such patience was a relief we didn't know we needed. Our father received that same level of thoughtful, personalized attention through his stroke recovery.
Low staff turnover, consistent communication was really important to us and Langland House was so reliable. It was the perfect environment that made my parents feel like they were still at home, rather than a facility.
If your family is in the middle of this search right now, I hope this helps to make your decision. Very much recommend Langland House! read more
