They were just superb! Mom was on hospice, and they were most accommodating. They went out and bought new curtains for her room, and did a lot of similar things to make it a pleasant experience. They were up all night with mom before she passed. They really were just over the top in how kind and caring they were. Very warm and caring. Great experience and would certainly recommend Blessed Jera Home Care.
Overall, this is the best place for her, although no where is perfect, staff are willing to listen and work together for Moms best care. The entertainment and food are great! Sometimes they are low in staff. It is expensive, but worth it!
I feel really good about the service of Desert Sky's Board and Care, inc. for facility Desert Sky's Board and Care. They have great service, the administrator Nenita Koch and staff are taking such great care of my grandmother. My grandmother is non-ambulatory from a stroke and after her rehab she came and stayed with me for 4 months where i took care of her. I no longer could for I had to work and my sister and found Desert Sky's Board and Care and Admitted her May of 2008 she has been very happy there. I would absolutely, recommend this facility to anyone.
