Tina's Place Assisted Living Home

Diane Krupinsly

Gerald, my Dad, recently passed away last June after residing at Tina’s Place for almost ten years. Dad lived in constant pain following a disabling fall in the early 80s. Prior to his arrival, he had been living in an apartment described as “Assisted Living”. It so happened that he became their first resident after a recommendation of a social worker. As my son Dan and I were there right after his arrival, we felt very much at ease and knew Dad was in a safe, loving and caring Home. Through the years Dan and I would visit on extended weekends observing the nutritious meals, social activities and warm family feeling. When it came to his painkillers, Dad was very conservative. They did comply with his wishes. In 2015 when Dad ended up in the hospital, John (his primary caregiver) could see Dad was going downhill. As Dad’s advocate, John pleaded with the hospital staff to release Dad to their care. They did, and Dad regained his health. Both John and Tina were angels of comfort to Dad the last couple weeks following a stroke. John stayed with him when Dad was ready to go. I am forever grateful to Tina and John.

My mother lived in this home for several years. This is a wonderful, caring and compasionate home. The home is owned by a nurse who spends time with the residents daily. Most larger facilities don't even offer a nurse on staff.Her caregivers are exceptional. The home is in a residential community making the residents feel like they're living at home not in a facility. The level of care they offer is beyond expectations. I have never been there when there were fewer than 2 caregivers at all times, very often they would have 4. This gives you an indication of the attention the residents receive. I have asked them to have have a room available for me when the time comes where I can no longer care for myself. They have been in business for about 14 years and their experience shows. If you are looking for a home make sure you look behind the scenes. What you see and what you get are often two different things. I felt like family whenever I came to visit, the atmosphere is casual which makes you feel comfortable. I almost chose a larger facility before deciding on Tina's place. Choosing Tina was the best decision I ever made.
