My mother-in-law moved in just over a month ago. This had all the makings of a terribly challenging move for a 96 year old recovering from hip and shoulder fractures. She moved from a different independent living facility to Assisted Living at Golden Pond - spending over two weeks in a studio apartment and then moving into an available one bed-room. Sounds like a lot, doesn't it? Well, it was. And since Day 1 (and actually before Day 1 with great communication and support at the end of her rehab stay), the staff made these transitions so pleasant. From dropping by to meet her in the days after she arrived, to bringing meals to her apartment, to cheering her on in the hallways, to helping set up her studio and then her apartment -- the staff showed up in small and large ways. I could keep on gushing. Golden Pond has helped my mother-in-law feel at home in record time during such a difficult time. What a gift.
