SHE CALLS IT HOME<br>My mom chose to move from the family farm to Oak Pointe of Carthage 6 1/2 years ago. We have never once heard her wish she was somewhere else. She calls it home and will brag about how good her life is.<br>We watch the staff smile and do their work with kindness and professionalism even during stressful times.<br>Being retired from a career in healthcare, I understand the nature of the job, from the stresses to the rewards. We have seen many staff changes throughout the years, as my mother-in-law was a resident even before my mom. They are far from perfect and would tell you so. However, we’ve never seen them give up or misdirect any frustrations they may be experiencing toward their residents whom they serve.<br>My mother’s dementia now takes her to some very dark places at times. They love and guide her through those. They are her safe place, and my mother loves them for it.<br>Thank you Oak Pointe.<br>Dana Cook
