As Sharon Basick's sister, Barb, I share these comments on behalf of my entire family. Sharon has been a resident at Discovery Village for the past 4 years, Independent, Assisted, now Memory Care. If you're looking for a community for your loved one, do as we did 4 years ago and do not think twice. The moment I walked in the door the first time, it truly felt like a wonderful place for my sister to call home. It's hard to find the words to describe how incredibly caring, compassionate, kind and loving the entire staff is in all 3 communities. I'll share just a brief example of the display of love we recently received. It became apparent that it was time for my sister to transition to memory care to keep her safe. We suddenly had to find new homes for her dog and cat. Between one day of packing and moving her the next day, I emailed Nicole, the Executive Director, about my concerns with surrendering KC and Snowy to a humane society. After reaching out to her entire staff, Nicole had successfully found new, loving homes for both pets the very next day. This is just an example of how her entire staff responds and reacts to all concerns. If I could give them a higher rating, I would without hesitation! Nicole, you are so loved and appreciated, along with your entire staff! Thank you for making the heartbreaking experience of saying goodbye to these 2 pets so much better!!! 💖... Barb Azzara
