    Review

    Lively Home, a senior care facility, has received glowing reviews from a satisfied family member who expressed their gratitude for the exceptional care their father received over the span of three years. Despite the challenging circumstances brought about by the COVID-19 lockdown, where visitation was limited to window encounters only, Lively Home went above and beyond to ensure the safety and well-being of its residents. The staff made special arrangements for all residents to receive their COVID vaccines, providing an extra layer of protection and peace of mind.

    The staff at Lively Home was commended for their unwavering support and dedication. Described as helpful, knowledgeable, loving, and patient, they exemplified the qualities one would seek in caregivers for their loved ones. This nurturing environment allowed the resident's father to feel secure and content during his time at Lively Home. Furthermore, prompt responses to any questions or concerns voiced by family members further solidified their trust in the facility's ability to provide top-notch care.

    One aspect that stood out at Lively Home was their commitment to ensuring special occasions did not go unnoticed. Holidays and birthdays were celebrated with joyous enthusiasm, creating a sense of normalcy and inclusion within the community. This attention to detail demonstrated Lively Home's understanding of the importance of maintaining social connections and fostering an atmosphere that felt like home.

    The primary caregiver assigned to the reviewer's father became an indispensable figure in his life. Their bond was evident through their interactions, showcasing the caregiver's ability to form meaningful relationships with those under their charge. This warm connection undoubtedly contributed to Lively Home being regarded as a highly recommended board and care facility.

    In terms of cleanliness, Lively Home maintained impeccable standards throughout its premises. The absence of unpleasant odors is a testament to their commitment to hygienic living spaces that promote health and well-being for all residents. However, it was noted that having an additional staff member available could enhance certain aspects of care, suggesting that there may be room for improvement in terms of staff ratios to ensure the highest quality of support.

    Overall, Lively Home receives praise for its exceptional care, compassionate and knowledgeable staff, commitment to resident safety during challenging times, and attention to celebrating special occasions. While maintaining high cleanliness standards, the addition of more staff members could further enhance the already commendable level of care provided by this senior living facility. Families seeking a safe and loving environment for their loved ones would do well to consider Lively Home as a top choice.
