Gaia Remedy Assisted Living provides comfort and a homelike atmosphere for residents and their families. The environment is relaxed and promotes friendly, respectful interactions among everyone. The staff at Gaia Remedy is consistent, with little to no turnover, offering stability and familiarity. Many bedrooms feature balconies, enhancing the comfort and appeal of the living spaces. Additionally, residents enjoy holistic meals that contribute to their overall wellness. There is 24-hour supervision. Emergency systems and secure entrances are also in place. I moved my father, Frank, from a nursing home in Salida to Gaia Remedy. It was the right decision. Although his stay was only a couple of months, the change in his well-being was evident. Kate, the director, told me that the top priority at Gaia Remedy is to get to know the new residents, their preferences, dislikes, and what can be done to help them feel more at home. Frank enjoyed his conversations with Kate and the caregivers. Even when he occasionally displayed a grumpy attitude, he was still met with kindness and respect. Some of Frank’s favorite spots included sitting by the fireplace or in the sunroom, where he could enjoy the outdoor scenery. Communication was very good—if my father wanted to speak with me or if there was an issue, I was notified. The staff also made thoughtful suggestions, such as snacks or additional clothing, to ensure Frank’s comfort. On one occasion, a staff member even went to the store to purchase a needed supply for him. My father passed away on February 25, 2026, just a few months shy of his 101st birthday. My last memory of him is by the fireplace, where Skyler, one of the caregivers, brought him a drink and a small table before preparing his dinner. Although Frank’s time at Gaia Remedy was brief, the staff expressed genuine sorrow at his passing. They offered kind words, sent condolences, and organized a service to celebrate his life. Our family was welcome to return and visit whenever we wished or call if we needed to talk. I am deeply grateful to Gaia Remedy for the exceptional care provided to my beloved father and the support given to our family. This is how an assisted living facility should operate. read less
