Rosewood Assisted was a GOD send to my family at a difficult time. My mother had suffered several strokes, diabetic coma, and early onset dementia in which I cared for her three years alone. Rosewood took my mother in and cared for her as their own for three years until her passing this past April. She wasn't eligible for Medicaid and they worked with us as self pay. My mother loved Rosewood dearly. Mandy (director) was so patient and attentive with Mom even on her worse days of dementia. Several times the staff would help her clean and organize her room because she would hoard. I was even brought in while Mom was away to get some of her personal valuables so they wouldn't get lost or stolen. Hannah (assistant) took time to sit with Mom doing puzzles just days before she passed. Mom came home from NMMC with knots in her hair because of the nurses didn't take time to comb it at all. But a Rosewood aide watched TV with her while they combed the knots out of her hair when she came home. They even braided it for her appointment the next day. She was so pretty and felt good about herself. That was a week before her passing. Tawànna (meds nurse) and other staff always kept me informed of her needs and any new symptoms that were of concern. I couldn't have asked for a better facility for mother. She made decision to be "home" for hospice at Rosewood. The staff made sure the family could be with her even during COVID. We were allowed to stay with her for days until her passing. Mandy, Tawànna, and the entire staff mourned with us. Mandy even stayed late and fed the family dinner. The staff at Rosewood is phenomenal. From the director to cafeteria staff who made sure every family member had something or snacks in those last days. They went above and beyond their duty to keep her as comfortable as possible so she was peaceful in the end. Hospice care was just as comforting and was so attentive to our questions and concerns. Rosewood is family to us and to my mother. We were blessed to have found them and Mom was blessed to have found a home that gave her sense of independence until the very end. We love the staff who make Rosewood a home for the residents.
