A Place Like Home ALF

My aunt currently lives at A Place Like Home. She's been there for two years. She had been living on her own and was not taking care of herself. Since moving to A Place Like Home, she's put on weight, stabilized her medical condition, and is mentally sharper.

My mother-in-law lived at A Place Like Home for five years. She was happy there. She had been in a large facility before and felt lost. She was treated very well at A Place Like Home. There were outings for lobster dinners (her favorite) and other restaurants, numerous field trips, Moose Club dancing and karaoke, and more. In this small home, she had more choices and attention than ever before. Visitation was easy and comfortable. But, most importantly, she got excellent care. My wife and I were pleased. We highly recommend A Place Like Home.

I selected A Place Like Home for respite care based on the location near my mom's neighborhood and her friends. After three days, I found my mother happy to move in permanently. The small size of the facility allowed everyone to get to know each other quickly and the personalized care by the staff and owner cannot be matched by any corporate run "resort" facility. The staff were very patient and accommodating, and were always responsive to my daily phone calls and frequent visits. The staff and owner go out of their way to provide personalized care. Dr. Walker and the staff made my mom's 91st birthday a special occasion, throwing a party complete with her favorite foods. My mom's friends visited often and were made to feel welcomed by the staff. I feel that the individualized care and attention of this small environment was an excellent fit for my mom's needs.
