Letter of Recommendation for Ioanas Adult Care Home
My
experience with Ioanas Adult Care Home began in May
of 2008. My mom had had a number of
strokes and was unable to be left alone.
After trying to care for her for a few months by myself, it came to a
point where I could no longer do so.
I
visited the home of Lidia and Simon, I toured the
resident’s area, I spoke with residents whom had been
there for awhile. They were happy and
well cared for and recommended it as a good place to bring my mom. Lidia and Simon
and their girls, treated mom as an extension on their family, they cared for
her as if she was a relative. They
engaged her in conversation; they validated her even during episodes of
dementia. She always was very well cared
for, physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Besides
the normal home sickness, mom has always been quite happy there. Lidia and Simon
have always made it a point to keep me a breast of all concerns and changes in
mom’s behavior. Now that is nearing
the end of her life, it is as hard for them as it is me. It is as if they are losing a part of their
immediate family.
I
would recommend Ioanas Adult Care Home to any future
resident, and would assure the family making the decision that their loved one
would receive the best possible care. I
have never had a second thought about my decision to place my mom there. In fact, I know it was the best thing that I
could have done for her. It allowed me
to keep my relationship with my mom, as her loving daughter and not take the
part of the parent.
For
prospective residents and family, I know
how hard the decisions to place a loved one in care is, and guilt will be a deterrent, but your loved
one, would want you to have a fulfilled
life as well, they would want you to care for your own children and
grandchildren. Be assured, that the care your loved one would receive at Ioanas Adult Care Home, will be the best.
Sincerely,
Barbara
