Finding Personal Loving Care was a turning point for our family after a long and painful transition. Our 84-year-old mom had spent six years at another Board and Care facility following a major stroke, and in that time we learned how important truly attentive, compassionate care is for someone in her condition. The new path we took with Personal Loving Care came after a hospitalization series that left her weak and increasingly fragile. The decision to move her there was driven by a need for more hands-on help, reliable support, and a warmer, more human approach to her daily needs.
The contrast between the two places could not have been starker. Our prior home had only two caregivers available around the clock, and fatigue and burnout were almost visible in the air. The owner came across as cold-hearted and primarily motivated by financial concerns, which made the environment feel impersonal and unsupportive for residents and their families alike. It was a painful experience to witness the toll that such dynamics took on both the staff and the residents. By comparison, Personal Loving Care presented itself as a different kind of place from the very first impression: a spacious, clean home with a staff structure designed to reduce burnout and increase consistent, quality interaction with residents.
One of the most meaningful differences was the staffing. Personal Loving Care has many caregivers, and they switch shifts in a way that keeps everyone fresh and able to respond promptly. The people were consistently friendly, patient, and helpful, and the administrator, Marie, stood out for her welcoming demeanor and reliability. It was easy to reach her, and communication with the family was steady and clear. This level of accessibility and openness created a sense of safety and trust during a time when our family needed reassurance most.
Our mom moved to Personal Loving Care after a third hospital stay within two months, during which she had become very weak from multiple infections and experienced delirium. The staff there didn't simply provide basic care; they assisted with essential mobility using a hoyer lift to help her get into a wheelchair every day. They fed her when she was too weak to feed herself, a simple act that carried enormous emotional weight for her. They also made a point to engage her with her favorite music, a form of comfort that resonated deeply with her - she knew every song and her face lit up with a smile that was almost priceless. In those moments, the care felt deeply personal and attentive, not transactional.
As she began to show a little improvement, she sat at the table in her wheelchair and enjoyed socializing with other tenants and staff. The environment itself seemed to contribute to her happiness - lively conversations, gentle interactions, and the presence of caring adults who treated her with dignity. The staff's consistent encouragement and the opportunity to be part of a small community, even briefly, brought a noticeable lift to her mood. Then, as often happens with serious illnesses, another setback occurred, and she had to return to the hospital. Her health declined much more rapidly after that point, and two weeks later she passed away in the hospital.
What stands out in a circumstance like this is not just the care that occurred in the moments of weakness but the humane thresholds that were crossed in the weeks she spent at Personal Loving Care. She lived there for a little less than two weeks, having paid for a month's stay upfront. When the possibility of what would come next became clear - she wouldn't be returning to the facility - the family sought guidance about the upcoming month's charges. Marie met our request with understanding and generosity, waiving the full charge for the next month. It was a significant relief during an already taxing time, and it underscored, in a very tangible way, that the center's philosophy was about helping people, not about profit.
After mom's passing, the care and empathy extended even further. Marie sent a plant and a card with heartfelt condolences, a gesture that felt deeply personal and considerate, especially given how little time they had known our mom. In contrast to the lack of warmth we experienced at the previous facility after six years of residency, the care team at Personal Loving Care demonstrated genuine compassion and ongoing support for our family in our grief.
In the end, this experience left us with a clear sense of the value that a well-staffed, compassionate, and communicative home can bring to an elderly person in need of assisted living or full care. Marie and the caregivers at Personal Loving Care stood out as a responsive, humane, and genuinely caring team. We would wholeheartedly recommend this home to anyone seeking a safer, more nurturing environment for a loved one who requires attentive daily support and a community that treats residents with respect, kindness, and real human warmth.

Exploring the Path to Senior Living: A Comprehensive Look at Independent Living and Assisted Living
The article examines senior housing options, detailing the distinctions between independent living and assisted living, along with the emerging "independent assisted living" model that blends both approaches. It highlights the importance of assessing individual needs, preferences, and financial factors in making informed decisions about suitable living arrangements for seniors.
The deductibility of assisted living expenses on taxes hinges on factors like the individual's medical condition and service nature, typically requiring the resident to be "chronically ill" per IRS definitions. Taxpayers may deduct eligible medical expenses related to personal care services but generally not rent unless primarily for medical care, and they should maintain thorough documentation to support claims while considering itemizing versus standard deductions.
