    Review

    After years of watching their grandmother thrive in a place that finally felt like family, the family describes a transition that was both hopeful and heartbreaking. They moved their 84-year-old mom from a board-and-care facility where staff burnout and a focus on profit overwhelmed warmth and personal attention. In that previous setting, there were only two caregivers around the clock, with no extra help available, and the owner came across as cold-hearted and largely motivated by money. Those memories colored their decision to search for a different kind of home, one where people mattered more than numbers on a ledger.

    What they found in Personal Loving Care was a contrast they hoped to feel from the start. The home impressed them with its spacious, clean environment, and the moment Administrator Marie introduced herself, a sense of welcome and competence settled in. The family recalls that Marie was consistently accessible, easy to reach, and maintained clear, open communication. The impression of a well-supported operation grew as they visited more: a facility staffed with many caregivers who switch shifts to avoid burnout and ensure there are always people paying attention to residents' needs. This level of coverage and the steady presence of staff stood in stark relief to their prior experience.

    Their mom's health journey during the move was challenging but the team at Personal Loving Care responded with skill and care. After multiple hospital stays over the preceding two months, she was weakened by infections and experienced delirium. The caregivers helped her get into a wheelchair daily with a hoyer lift - an important and demanding task - and stayed with her through feeding when she couldn't feed herself. The staff even played her favorite music, and she responded with delight, recognizing every song. It was a small but powerful sign of joy: the smile on her face became a precious moment for the family, a tangible reminder that she could still enjoy small, meaningful pleasures even as she faced serious illness.

    There was a clear sense that the home wasn't just about keeping mom physically comfortable but about re-engaging her socially. Once she was able, she sat at the table in her wheelchair, enjoying the chance to be part of the room's social energy with other tenants and the staff. The atmosphere felt hopeful, and the family saw their mom appearing happier in those moments, a precious glimpse of the person they remembered before the illnesses took their toll.

    Tragically, the health decline returned and progressed rapidly. She had to be readmitted to the hospital, and two weeks later she passed away there. Although her time at Personal Loving Care was brief - less than two weeks - the family describes it as memorable in the most positive sense. They had paid for the month she moved in, and when they faced the reality that she would not be returning, they wondered about next month's rent. They approached Marie to discuss a fair arrangement for the period during which their mom was hospitalized and could not return.

    Marie's response underscored the difference the family found in this home. She waived the full charge for the next month, choosing compassion over contractual rigidity. The family emphasizes that Marie is not about greed; she is focused on helping and caring for people. This act, small in monetary terms but enormous in emotional impact, reinforced the sense that they had found a place where empathy guides decisions, especially in difficult times.

    Following their mom's passing, the family received a plant and a card from Marie with heartfelt sympathy. The gesture felt deeply meaningful, a thoughtful tribute after such a brief time with their mom. It stood in stark contrast to their experience with their previous facility, where, despite six years of residency, they did not receive a card or any gesture of sympathy after such a loss. The differences between the two places left a lasting impression and reinforced the family's belief in the importance of genuine care and personal connection at the end of life.

    In reflection, the family speaks with strong conviction about the quality of care they found at Personal Loving Care. They praise Marie and the caregivers for their warmth, professionalism, and practical support - attributes that made a difficult period more bearable and meaningful. The home's spacious, clean environment and the consistent availability of caregivers contributed to a sense of security and dignity for their mom during her brief stay. For anyone seeking assisted living or full care, they offer a heartfelt recommendation based on their experience: a home where people are treated with humanity, where staff are plentiful and attentive, and where administrative leadership demonstrates genuine compassion.
