  A Place For Mom

Making the decision to move mom out of her house was difficult. We knew she couldn't stay on her own but we couldn't afford 24 hr care at the house. Hospice recommended a group home living situation and gave us some names to begin our search. After visits to several homes, I happened to call Sage Oak and talked to [name removed], one of the residence managers. She was friendly, understanding, yet professional and to the point. We arranged a visit and that was when I experienced real hope. The home is in a great neighborhood. It was open, spacious with a well- tended outdoor area and clean. The individual rooms were ordered with individual touches, neat and clean. The residents were up and about and were obviously well cared for. [name removed] introduced me to the staff who were also personable, friendly, courteous, attentive and knowledgeable. They were able to talk to me and keep an eye on the patients while not appearing rushed. This was the place we had been looking for! Mom's experience was a good one and the care givers were were always kind and helpful to her and to us when we came to visit. It was ok for us to be there to visit at any time or to talk on the phone when we or mom wanted to chat. Thanks to everyone (you know who you are) for making mom's last days as good as they were. To anyone else reading this, mom passed away 3 weeks ago after a run of 101 full years. I know how difficult and stressful end-of-days elder care can be for the family. Sage Oak-Aberdeen gave us many reasons to feel good about the decisions we made.
