Our parents have been in their one bedroom independent living unit for just over a year now. The high ceilings and natural light makes the space seem larger, yet it is just perfect for their current needs. Dad no longer feels the burden that comes from having to care for his home. He enjoys the daily “coffee and chat” and live music. Mom enjoys having her hair done in the salon. There are so many opportunities to take part in. We have enjoyed participating in some activities with mom and dad. I believe that helps families with the transition. The staff that comes into their apartment whether to help with routine cleaning or maintenance have always been respectful and accommodating. Dad loves to talk about how delicious his dinners are and how nice it is to have such a great kitchen staff. Most precious are the wonderful ladies who look in on mom and treat her with such tenderness while meeting her medical needs. Dad enjoys getting his morning call from the staff at the front desk to see that all is well. My brother has been impressed with the financial documentation of their expenses. As mom’s needs have change Storypoint has offered options and helped connect us with hospice. Dad says he doesn’t ever want to move. But as mom will soon being moving to memory care, he has chosen to follow his bride. Storypoint has provided mom and dad with an opportunity to feel safe while enjoying their freedom. It has been a place that has offered a level of care that we as their children have not been able to provide. We never thought dad would leave his home in Enon. But the day of his first visit he was ready to sign a lease. He struggled at first, wanted to go back home. But after a week he decided that was where they should be. Home is where the love is shared. Could there be a better place? We have been truly blessed that our parents have had a home in Storypoint.- photo at sing along
