A Place for Mom (or Dad) in my case did a FANTASIC job listening and helping me find the right place for him. Now he is at New Era Assisted Living and lilian is taking great care of him.
My mom has lived at Hughes house for over three years. In my opinion it is designed for people needing late stage care. There are not really activities because most residents could not participate. There are two care givers who have been there many years-Over a decade. The house manager is one of them. She does a wonderful job of overseeing the other employees. It really feels like a home. Because they have been with my mom for a few years it is clear they have a relationship with her. In a large setting, shift work by many people is the norm. It’s hard to have a real relationship with this model. This is the difference. They know their clients intimately and these long term employees truly do God’s work. These two are loving compassionate people who truly have a calling. There are at total of 4 full time employees at the house. The other 2 care givers have come and gone over the years but I’m thankful for the stability provided by the two who really run the show!
Garland Serenity Home was a Godsend in a time of desperation. They treated our father with such respect and allowed him to die in a peaceful, loving manner. We couldn't have asked for a better place or team for him. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a place for their loved ones.
