I. Love. Fenwick! If you need care for your loved one, don't hesitate to consider Fenwick Landing…read more My aunt attends the senior day program regularly and has also received respite care on several occasions. The staff is AMAZING! Administrators, nurses, drivers, caregivers, office staff... every single person who represents Fenwick Landing is a blessing for seniors in their care and their families. My aunt has dementia and the Fenwick day program has been a Godsend for us! My aunt always enjoys her time there. Though her retelling of the details of the day may not be accurate, she has a great time at the center and talks about how "nice" everybody is. I appreciate how Fenwick keeps us informed about the menu, activities, health information, opportunities for immunization and special programs, and any general updates we may need. Whenever there are any questions about my aunt, they call. If she misses days, someone always calls to check on her. They genuinely care about the participants! During COVID, the staff was diligent about maintaining safe practices and ensuring the health of center participants. They enforced the use of masks and informed us if there was ever an incident of someone contracting COVID. They also encouraged and required COVID testing. I could just go on and on about how great they are! There's nothing like being confident that your family is safe and always receiving the very best care. I am SO THANKFUL for Fenwick Landing and the entire staff. I'd give TEN stars if I could. :-)

My mother was resident of Fenwick Landing for over seven years. The atmosphere is one of caring and…read morelove. The caregivers and the administrators were amazing. The love that my mom received was as a family member, not a resident. There were always planned activities and holiday celebrations as well as birthday celebrations. Outside care is always a scary ordeal but we never had a moment's worry, she was always well cared for just as if she was one of the caregivers family members. I can not sing their praises enough.

I honestly have no idea what to make of this service. Until my dad got sick last year, I had no…read moreidea such agencies existed. It's a strange pitch for a business: the monetization of human vulnerability. Worse yet, while the up-front fees directly to the agency are pricey, the caregivers themselves make minimum wage or are otherwise regarded by the organization as little better than retail labor. This is certainly not to minimize working in retail; however, caregiving is an extraordinarily physical job that is also mentally taxing. If you're going to clean up adult dirty diapers and heft a living human body into the shower for a living, among other duties and responsibilities of professional caregiving, you should have the respect of a solid salary. Professional caregiving is an essential frontline service; professional caregivers are not cannon fodder for fast money from a Great Business Idea™. So what I would ultimately tell you about my experience with Visiting Angels is that, yes, we have had excellent, compassionate caregivers -- the agency itself, however, leaves plenty to be desired. The office-side employees tend to be less friendly toward you the longer you are a client, and the reality is that many patients, like my dad, require long-term caregiving. My dad has been cared for by wonderful individuals assigned by this agency; but Visiting Angels itself is nothing to rave about, which is just as well, originating from a problematic business concept altogether. If you have the energy and time, I encourage you to keep an eye not only on Visiting Angels but on this peculiar industry as a whole. My profile has an IG link where I document my first-time caregiving journey and, believe me, my dad's illness and ensuing recovery (thank God) have given me my fair share of eye-popping experiences and revelations. These kinds of businesses and the culture of vagueness they foster do not lend themselves to transparency, often relying (successfully) on the urgency and immediacy of need -- a tactic frankly just short of exploitation. Our loved ones deserve better in 2023 and beyond.

And we are so blessed to have found her, she is an amazing doctor she takes her time, answers all questions and makes us feel welcome every time we have an appointment. I also love the way the office is set up and it is so convenient that she is the only doctor that works in the building so the wait time for being seen is very quick. And it makes the experience much more personal and not rushed. Not to mention the amazing office staff who always greet us with such kindness. They truly make the experience of bringing my daughter to the doctor so enjoyable. Thank you above and beyond for sticking to your word and being so amazing!

Without a doubt the most daunting task of my life was finding a fun, safe place for my 81-year-old…read moremom. Mom was living completely independently until a serious fall about 8 months ago. After completing programs at 2 physical rehabilitation facilities, she was able to move forward to life in an assisted living facility. We had our doubts that any facility would make her happy ... and quite honestly, we've all seen assisted living facilities over the years that didn't look like great places to be. After weeks of searching we found Morningside House of St. Charles and scheduled a tour. Upon walking into the lobby I immediately noticed that the facility looked and smelled clean and is staffed with kind, friendly, proactive people ... EVERY staffer encountered had a kind word and seemed genuinely happy to see us. The facilities are perfect for mom. We chose a 1 bedroom apartment with lots of closet space and an accessible, private bathroom and a nice sized living room space. Mom's meals offer variety and nutrition, and mom's meds are monitored and administered. Additionally, there are many daily activities from mom to choose from and religious services are available for those inclined. There are so many at Morningside House of St. Charles to thank for their care and dedication and their contributions to mom's life and happiness; the front desk personnel, the admissions staff, the nursing staff and the floor staff. I'd be totally remiss however if I didn't express my extreme gratitude to Morningside House of St. Charles Executive Director, Ms. Jennifer Soper who was able to explain the process and whose herculean efforts facilitated mom's transition to assisted living. She even came into work on her day off to facilitate and coordinate mom's arrival. It's scary to think how mom's life would be if not for Morningside House of St. Charles and the kindness of Ms. Soper. I couldn't be happier for the care and living environment that mom enjoys every day. Well done Morningside House of St. Charles!!!

I am a Registered Nurse, along with several of my family members, but we are spread out on the east coast and were unable to meet our mother's daily needs. It took us a tireless year to commit to the fact that our mother needed more than a helping hand. She needed geriatric specialists that would not only tend to her activities of daily living, but to foster her independence among her peers. It has been a very difficult year with COVID, which made this decision such a struggle, but we did our research and was convinced that Morningside was the safest choice. I worked closely with Tajia Lee, Director of Sales and Marketing, who walked me through a step by step process in the most caring and compassionate manner. Tajia showed patience and understanding throughout my personal struggle and allowed me the time I needed to complete this transition. She comforted and walked me through the first few weeks and kept me abreast about my mom's acclimation at Morningside House in the midst of a pandemic. I am so proud to say that my mother is not only doing well, she is thriving. She loves her apartment and praises all of the staff at Morningside House. She has made many friends and is now laughing and participating in activities. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. As a healthcare worker, I can honestly say that the staff and government compliance, regarding COVID-19, has been impeccable at Morningside House. Our family is reassured with our decision every time we FaceTime and visit because Mom is genuinely happy.
