My husband lived at Lakemont Senior Living for about a year. Ligia and her staff were great and very responsive to his needs and to our needs as a married couple. I was able to spend time alone with him and it has meant a lot to me, especially after he passed away. I treasure that time that he spent at Lakemont and there were many special and precious moments for us.<br>When my husband arrived at Lakemont, he had to use a wheelchair and then progressed to a walker and then he was able to walk alone. The Lakemont staff worked with Chris and the physical therapist to increase his mobility. We were able to enjoy many walks outside in the neighborhood during the late spring and summer.<br>Ligia and the Lakemont staff encourage us to celebrate his birthday, my birthday, and our anniversary as well as Valentine’s Day and of course Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. I was allowed to bring a meal from our favorite restaurant, and we ate in his private room.<br>My husband was a nurse practitioner, and he continued to think that he “was seeing patients” - due to lack of memory/hallucinations that occur with Lewy Body Dementia. We were able to set up a “worktable” for him in his private room, so he could see patients and write clinical notes.<br>Also, I appreciate Ligia’s insight into the progression of this dementia, and she provided me with an understanding of how to communicate and love my husband through this disease.<br>My husband rapidly declined in late September and my son had just proposed to his partner in mid-August but due to his father’s health decided to get married quickly. Ligia and her staff made it possible for my husband to participate. They got him dressed in the special clothes I provided and then arranged a medical transport to the church. My family has special memories from that wedding day.<br>He passed away after a very quick decline with battling Lewy Body Dementia. His rapid decline was shocking, and I truly appreciated the expert nursing and emotional care that Ligia and her staff provided.
