At Home Senior Living

PATRICIA C. (2)

I want to give the highest possible rating to At Home Senior Living, Emmy N, RN, owner/manager!!! My mom lived there for the better part of two and a half years, and recently passed away. Everything I wrote in 2015 (Yelp review, 11/24/2015) remained true throughout our stay, once again speaking to the consistency of high-quality care over the years at this home. AHSL is truly unique, clearly and without a doubt the best residential care home you will find. Here are some additional thoughts after our years there. I was advised by a range of people not to move my mom from her then current living situation, and I was scared to do it! But AHSL defies that conventional (and I believe, flawed) wisdom by implementing strategies that make the transition very doable. Emmy had a variety of ideas for improving medications, diet, social interactions, etc. that gave my mom a real lift after the move. And as my mom aged, Emmy and her staff adjusted and responded to my mom’s declining abilities with smart personal care strategies and joyful, customized events, so that my mom continued to feel part of the community in very special ways. This is the “icing on the cake” type of care that elevates this home above other options. It meant that my mom felt included and worthwhile, the key to her happiness during her elder years. Emmy is an excellent communicator. She uses email, texting, phone, and of course in-person discussion to keep her families (and their health care providers) fully informed. I live locally, but I talked with family members who lived as far away as Washington State and they were so complimentary about this aspect of AHSL. Emmy answered all of my inquiries, followed up on issues, and kept me plugged in to my mom’s care. I always felt Emmy’s expert presence, even when she wasn’t in the building! This was SO important to me, particularly after struggling with the dismal communication at assisted living and skilled nursing facilities. While Emmy can’t guarantee that her residents will not need hospitalization and/or skilled nursing, I figured that our best chance of avoiding the stress and deficiencies of those institutions would be At Home, and I am thrilled to report that such was the case. My mom was able to remain in place when the rapid decline came at the end, sleeping comfortably in her own bed, with the expert support of Emmy, her amazingly thoughtful staff, Dr. David J at the helm, with hospice nurses, and me by my mom’s side. As sad as I felt that final day, a nearly 100 year life doesn’t wind down any better than that. I know how challenging this responsibility can be, and I wish everyone out there the best possible outcome for your own loved ones, and for yourself! I consider moving my mom to At Home Senior Living the best decision I made for her, bar none!!!

We had a friend staying for a short period of time at the facility and we found the facility very pleasant in a good neighborhood. The personnel were helpful and curtious. This was our fisrt time to an assisted living facility, so we have nothing to compare it to, but were impressed.
