I recently had the chance to visit my mom at her memory care community after being away for almost a year due to moving out of state. I was honestly very worried before the visit because so much time had passed, but the moment I saw her I felt an overwhelming sense of relief and gratitude. She looked clean, well cared for, well fed, and most importantly she was smiling. My mom has lived at this community for almost four years now, and every time any of my six siblings or I visit, we are greeted with kindness and professionalism. One thing that really stood out to me during this visit was seeing so many of the same familiar faces still working there. That says a lot about the environment and the people who care for the residents. I especially want to thank the nurse Destiny and her assistant Britney. They are always so incredibly friendly, welcoming, and took the time to give me a thoughtful update about how my mom has been doing. It meant so much to hear about her daily routines and how they keep her engaged. You can tell that it is not just a job to those two, it is their passion and they treat my mom like a family member who is loved. Even though my mom is now almost non-verbal, you can still tell she is happy. The staff continue to involve her, keep her comfortable, and treat her with dignity and compassion. Seeing that level of care reassured me more than I can put into words. Our family is incredibly grateful to have such a wonderful community caring for our mom. Knowing she is safe, respected, and surrounded by people who genuinely care gives all seven of us peace of mind. Thank you for everything you do for her and for all the residents. We just love THE WOODS OF CALEDONIA
