My stepdad was a rehabilitation patient following a hip replacement in July 2024. As he recovered and completed his course of therapy, it became evident that returning home to live without skilled nursing assistance would not be possible. His health and physical safety were only going to be ensured with full time care as he was a major fall-risk and required assistance in all areas. There was never a doubt about where he should receive this care so he became a full-time resident of Graybrier. He spent just shy of a full year at Graybrier until he passed away this month. While there, we never doubted that he was being cared for. Although we would have preferred for him to be at home we know without a doubt that his last year was better for being a resident at Graybrier. He made connections and friendships with many of the staff members and residents. He enjoyed the activities and community outreach events that were in place on a weekly and monthly schedule. As a man who had always been active and involved in family, church, and work he found a new community in his final residence. Words can never express how grateful we are for the care provided in his time of need.
