I cannot express in words how grateful I am to the staff, nurses, and doctors at St. Anne’s Nursing Home for the care they have provided for my mother. This review is long overdue. After a tumultuous year of dealing with my mother’s health challenges and setbacks, my 87-year-old mother has received a new lease on life thanks to the caring staff at St. Anne’s. My mother is a war refugee, so in addition to her physical medical issues, she has also suffered from significant war-related trauma. Due to the diligence and compassion of the doctors, nurses, and staff, she has received excellent care through which she has recovered physically and is managing much better psychologically. I understand that, as caregivers, we sometimes lose patience and expect immediate results, immediate phone calls, and immediate communication. Given the circumstances we face in this country today—where hospitals, urgent care centers, and nursing homes are often understaffed, and where Medicare and Medicaid cuts continue to create challenges—I believe that St. Anne’s is navigating these difficulties exceptionally well. I have always received the communication I needed. The staff have consistently listened to my concerns and suggestions with an open mind, and every step of the way they have earned my trust. My mother entered St. Anne’s about nine months ago with a catheter, unable to walk, and severely underweight. Today, she no longer requires a catheter, has regained her weight, and is walking independently with a walker. I will not describe her psychological progress in detail out of respect for her privacy, but I can confidently say that the improvement has been remarkable. St. Anne’s is a Catholic institution, while my mother and our family are Muslim. St. Anne’s has been extremely sensitive and respectful of our religious beliefs, values, and dietary requirements. Thank you, St. Anne’s, for all that you do for my mother. I am forever grateful.
