Sam and the gang are great people, They have strong Christian vibes which I appreciate for people taking care of my dad. Dad enjoys the good food and the staff are kind to him, he also does some light work by his own choice which the staff allows to give him that sense of home. He likes to blow leaves and he says he occasionally assists with trash or drying dishes. He feels very at home.
For me I notice that he gets good medical care and the team is very communicative with me. Many services are performed on sight.
Initially, I looked at a ton of reviews and toured a few different facilities for memory care around the valley. This was the only place that I could see myself being happy if I was to be living in a memory care facility or group home. It feels like a regular very nice house with caregivers.
It’s a difficult decision to put a parent in a home, but in this case I felt I made a great choice. Dad is not capable of living with me as I have too much responsibility at home and his care needs are vast, and yet, he is not so sick that he needs to be in a hospital setting and I’m sure he doesn’t want to feel he’s in some sort of institution. This strikes a wonderful balance of home and community while also getting extremely high quality care. Thank you
