This is THE PLACE to go for memory care. I researched extensively, utilized TWO placement specialists & visited 10 facilities. I left NO stone unturned. I wanted my father to have the best care with competent & caring staff. My father is on oxygen 24/7, is missing an upper lung lobe from cancer & frequently needs to utilize a wheelchair. The first thing I appreciated was that they keep your loved one until the end. There's no transfer that occurs like other places. The second thing is the staff. I have been there at all hours, for hours at a time. The staff are patient, skilled & attentive which you would expect, but it's more than that. It's the extra effort. Brisa & Jimena guide you through the difficult process with true compassion, care & concern, as if the residents were their own family members. TRUST THEM. Last week my father was given a manicure, something he loved before being placed. The activities coordinator, Theresa, is always thinking of creative ways to engage the residents and even works one on one as time permits. I showed up during COVID, observing from another building. She had my father looking at the birds in the atrium, shielding the sun from his eyes with a cushion & positioned for the optimal view. Theresa has brought in picture books, puzzles, stuffed animals & sand timers. Things I would never think would interest my father. Sometimes she takes a seat to just talk to residents. The facility is large enough so it doesn't feel cramped, but small enough that it feels like "home." I pay the majority of the expense for this
all-inclusive facility. Honestly, it is worth every penny. The support group is dynamic with an excellent lead (Alex) from the Alzheimer's Association. Hospice was an emotional, difficult decision, but once all of the benefits were outlined & now 4 months in, I am thrilled. He is seen by a nurse several times a week
who provides an update on his progress. It's care I could not provide at home. I want other families to feel comfortable placing their loved one here. It's remarkable. I've done the leg work. I know. read more
