Golden Rose is a locally owned Assisted Living facility. Most of the staff has worked there many years. They treated my father with kindness, compassion, and respect. His INDIVIDUAL needs were met. They were interested in what he liked and wanted. The atmosphere was of one big family. I moved him there from another facility, around the corner, that wanted me to hire a full time sitter because they couldn't watch him and keep him safe. Golden Rose was able to meet all his needs without me hiring a sitter. Esther, the owner, is an RN. She regularly interacts with the residents and has the knowledge needed to know when a medication adjustment is needed. As my father neared the end of his life, they were sensitive and respectful. I felt that the workers were grieving with us. While having my father in an Assisted Living facility and visiting everyday, sometimes more than once, I believe the most important thing to look for in care is the attitude, capability, and compassion of the staff that actually works with the residents. The furnishings, "chef-inspired food," entertainment programs, professionalism of the management, etc. are not near as important as the people who are feeding, changing diapers, dressing, and interacting with the residents. I was impressed with all of the staff at Golden Rose.
