Putting Mom into memory care was a difficult decision, she didn't want to leave her home. Multiple UTI's, a bad fall resulting in 7 stitches above her eye, her sedentary lifestyle. It was hard to get her out of her house, all with in home care during the day and family helping too.<br><br>We found a sanctuary at Birchview where dignity, safety, and joy aren't just goals but the foundation of every day. Their staff Birchview Memory Care has been the best choice for mom. She is getting dressed, walking the halls, socializing with staff and making friends. We feel so supported and encouraged.

After agonizing over the decision whether it was time to move mom or not to Memory Care, the decision was made when she left her apartment in the middle of the night and fell.<br>Mom moved into Birchview Memory Care a few weeks ago. She is safe now. She is happy. She is participating in activities. We are so glad we made the decision.<br>The move was much easier than we anticipated. Mandalena is very knowledgeable and helped us every step of the way. All of the staff we have interacted with have been amazing. I know we’ve found the best place for mom.

I specifically want to shoutout Beth, the Life Enrichment Director, for supporting me in staying connected with my uncle from across the country and engaging him in gatherings/outings in the community.

An enthusiastic team leader drives success, dedication, and guidance. This is true at Birchview Memory Care with executive director, Shannon Padilla’s leadership of her entire team.<br>We were searching for a well-run, caring, clean , and inclusive memory care facility when we toured Birchview with Mandelena. We shared our expectations and hopes with her and were assured that Birchview could meet our needs and even surpass them. This has proven to be true with sincere and warm caregivers, superior assistance by Peggy for any office questions, excellent meals provided by chef Jane and the kitchen staff, to Beth’s planning and orchestration of frequent fun and fulfilling activities for the residents to enjoy.<br>Thank you for welcoming my husband and our family to the Birchview community and for a job well done!
