Article on Positive Experience With Placement

Joe C.

The Attached article is one caregivers positive experience with placement. I can relate to much of what he is writing about from my experience at my wife’s MC. I have gotten to know many of the other residents and have had a lot of positive interaction with them.

Thank you, Joe. I read the article twice and smiled wider each time. DH's MC facility was small (16 residents), cozy and warm. I only visited once a week since it was a distance and DH didn't know who I was from day one. So, I befriended the residents, their families, the caregivers, housekeepers, office staff, etc. and truly enjoyed each visit. I took DH's friend from high school along; she fit right in and looked forward to returning. Our youngest granddaughter went as often as she was able, bagging school once for a Christmas get together. It was never sad or depressing; I never regretted going there. DH was there for 17 months; during his last days, off duty staff stopped by to visit and meet my kids from out of town. During his final hours, a favorite nurse and a devoted caregiver sat with us and cried with us. I have returned to visit; I will return again. I so appreciate all those great people who loved and cared for "coach" when I no longer could. Thanks again!

I look forward to the day I can visit without any trauma to DH or myself. I've been interacting only with the facility management and DH's core caregiving leads. They have kept me well informed and often gone above and beyond their duties to make it easy for DH and me. Bless this MCF and its staff.
