A Family Affair

When we visited A Family Affair the first time, we knew we had found the perfect place for Mom. It has that small family atmosphere and Mom would have felt lost and more confused in a larger facility. The staff were very attentive to Mom's needs and our requests. They were excellent about communicating any concerns or changes, so I never felt out of the loop concerning her care. They helped make connections with medical staff to ensure Mom's care was the best. I felt welcome anytime I visited, which varied with time and day because of my irregular schedule. I never saw anything but a healthy, relaxing atmosphere in the facility and the attitude of the staff members. My mom passed away at A Family Affair. The staff alerted us to her worsening condition so that we could be there with her. The professionalism of the staff at that time made Mom's last hours peaceful and helped and comforted us on that difficult day. I would highly recommend this facility to others who are looking for a more personal touch to residential care for their loved one.

A Family Affair was an ideal setting for my 90 year old mom with dimentia. Since their are only 6 beds, my mom had lots of individual attention from a very loving and caring staff. She didn't feel overwhelmed as she would have been in a larger nursing home facility. The residents were always encouraged to get dressed and come out of their rooms for socialization. The home has a beautiful backyard view with birdfeeders and a deck where the residents could go out and sit on nice days, or look out at from the family/sitting room. Meals were shared together at a regular dining room table, not a large dining hall. The meals were simple yet wholesome. Home nursing care was just a call away and available 24/7. When the time came for hospice care, my mom was able to stay right there for all services and family members were able to be with my mom at the end.
