Three years ago, my mother, who was my dad's care giver, suffered a terrible stroke. Suddenly we needed to place them both in a group home. We hoped we could find one where they could remain together and as it turned out, the Master bedroom was available when we needed it. My parents were transferred to this home under the compassionate and watchful care of Dennis and Julie. My parents remained there for three years and the care was exceptional. I'm in health care so I know what good and bad care looks like; my parents never had a bad meal (all home cooked and nutritious), never had a skin breakdown, the home never had a bad smell, and my parents were up, clean, teeth brushed, hair done, dressed and out of bed every day. They decorated the inside AND outside during the Holidays (Christmas is especially epic) so it always had a homelike environment. Julie and Dennis (and their children) soon became our extended family, providing us comfort during trying days. On the day that my father passed and later when my mom passed in the early morning, we cried together, sitting at the dining room table, and told stories about them, over a cup of coffee...just like family does. All in all, if you need home, don't look any further. Your loved one will be in good hands with Julie and Dennis. Sincerely, Barb Averyt, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M.
