My mom has lived an active, incredibly generous, fulfilled, eventful life, sometimes extremely hard and very sad but most of the time happy, getting her greatest pleasure from being with others and being appreciated and very much loved. Now in her older years, I want to thank The Rose for their care and understanding. Mom is emotionally contained, hugged every day, told she is loved every day, listened to, not judged and is being allowed to express herself, giving her time and space to be whoever she wants to be and in whatever little world she imagines herself, from actual past experiences, or imaginary, and she thrives on this and being with people who love her + care. My mom's dementia presents in a way that requires a lot of time, patience and understanding - the staff at The Rose give this genuine love + care + go above + beyond.
They laugh with her, hug her, tell her they love her, and for Mom, I could not wish for more. On top of that, they openly welcome and include her family as one of their own. It is so difficult to know you have made the right decision when you love someone so much and who really deserve a happy and secure life, but Mom has that now, and I would like to thank each and everyone of you with all my heart.
