Our father required 24 hr care and the finding a residential board & care facility is difficult. Blessings has truly been a blessing to our family! The staff truly cares for the residents as their own family While providing a place that is safe, clean and friendly,
My Mom spent the last year of her life at Sweet Home. I am so thankful that this was her final home. They knew how to care for at every stage. It’s hard to lose a parent. Sweet Home took care of us. The food is home cooked to the preference of each person. There are group holiday meals. Every week musicians come and play music for the residents.
Although we got mixed signals about whether our loved one could take their own meds or needed them distributed we are so glad they could take us in on such short notice and that sense informs all answered. It is a friendly place.
