SarahCare at Lake Boone Trail

Charles

I chose SarahCare at Lake Boone Trail because it's more reasonably-priced and gives me more flexibility with my time. They provide my wife with meals, entertainment, and nursing care. It's better than individual home health care that comes to the house and just babysitting. They provide a variety of things for my wife, not just sitting there all day. The food is quite adequate, they have a varied menu with something different every day. The place is extremely clean and orderly.

My wife goes to day care five days a week. It is a great place. The director of one of the 24/7 places suggested that if we weren't ready and needed day care to consider SarahCare, which we ended up doing starting at two days a week, then three, and now five. They give my wife her morning meds and provide breakfast and lunch, snacks in the afternoon, and all sorts of programming during the day.

The first thing I noticed when I visited Sarah Care was the smell ---- or rather, the absence of one. The facility is more than just clean and good smelling, it is comfortable and comforting. The furniture, colors, fabrics and natural light make it feel like a well-decorated home. Once I started talking to the staff members, I knew we were onto something. Sarah Care was not a hard sell, not that they would need to be. I never had the feeling that we were important only as consumers. Everyone from the director to the CNAs welcomed us, allowed us to observe and spoke to my mother directly. She has Alzheimers Disease and not every place is equipped to deal with the special needs of AD patients. The interviews we had with the director, the nurse, and the activity director convinced us that we were in the right place. Mom started with only two days a week and has gradually worked up to full time, including Saturdays. As she acclimated, she began to look forward to going to "school" every day. She would go seven days a week if she could! Communication with staff is a two-way street. I feel confident that they listen to my concerns and they keep me informed about her condition. Sarah Care allows my mother to live at home with family while still receiving the specialized care and socialization that is vital to her well-being. If it were not for Sarah Care, I'm not sure we would still be able to keep her with us. This program has given us the gift of irreplaceable time.
