When I started looking for a care home for my mother I had no idea what I was doing. I knew I wanted a private room and a small facility that would treat her like family and not a nursing home where she was just one of many patients. I looked online at several locations that did not have wheelchair accessible facilities before calling Fortress for a visit. As soon as I got there I knew this was where I wanted my mom to be. The quiet setting, the cats and chickens in the backyard, the family atmosphere, it was all just right and made me feel so welcome. I moved my mom in and Tabita, her family and her employees all were wonderful and caring towards my mother who at times can be a little grumpy. I knew she was safe, fed and cared for, and I wouldn't have to constantly worry about her anymore. The private room allowed her some continued privacy when she wanted to be alone and she never had to worry about making herself meals or getting the supplies she needed. My mom finally started getting outside and getting the social interaction that she had been missing to make the last months of her life less lonely. I would not hesitate to go live there myself if I needed the care, or have any of my loved ones stay there.
