Even late in his life, relationships were very important to my father, and the people at SIM Adult Family Home were just the right people for him. He was there for five months before he passed, and we truly believe that the owner, Sim, and all the caregivers, truly cared for him, both physically and emotionally. I admit that he was still adjusting from going to an independent apartment with his own living room, television, and bedroom, to one bedroom and a shared bath, but he was indeed adjusting. The other residence were friendly, the food was good, he could have his privacy when he needed it, and I am very happy with the choice we made for him. I highly recommend this family home for anyone who needs a caregiver, or hast to make a decision for a caregiver.

The house is kept meticulously clean and our mom was given the best of care. They care for all their patients with compassion.

She was moving to Lacey from out of state and we researched and toured many options. From my first phone conversation with Jordan to the delightful lunch we had on the patio I could tell he loves his work and genuinely cares about the well being of his residents. I loved the way the building's design brought nature inside in all the public rooms and I think that would be a very positive thing in the colder months for someone coming from a warmer climate. I felt there was a strong sense of community and engagement between residents and staff. We were both very impressed by our tour of the Firs and it was by far at the top of our list. (Mom had her heart set on a place with an indoor heated pool and that was the only reason she did not choose the Firs.)

My 'TOP TEN' observations. 1. Management - Exceptionally qualified group of thoughtful and caring people. Empathetic, patient, knowledgeable and always professional. Ange Pitts (Administrator), Taylor Burkhart (Resident Care Coordinator), Amber Hall (Office Manager). 2. Emphasis on safety. Nothing more important! Recent example was the influenza outbreak in Washington state. The entire professional team expeditiously confirmed that all protocols were in place and being observed. 3. Medical professionals who manage the distribution of pharmaceuticals as well as monitoring vital signs of residents. 4. Phenomenal staff who assist with many aspects of general care of residents. 5. Housekeepers keep the facility looking great! 6. Facility maintenance impeccably handled by the versatile Pat White. 7. Life Enrichment Coordinator makes sure that residents have a plenty of interesting and creative activities. A visiting social worker recently commented on the quality and diversity of activities. Special thanks to Sydney and Mary. 8. Chef staff is always striving to come up with interesting menus as well as numerous alternative items. 9. Communication within the organization is excellent. 10.
