GREAT, WONDERFUL, LOVING, SUPPORTIVE, a answer to PRAYER!! The Perryman House was a wonderful place for my dad. He went to other assisted living facilities, but my dad needed that extra love and care he got a Perryman. The whole staff ( nursing, kitchen, admin. staff, etc.), and the residents are like one big happy FAMILY. The BIGGEST blessing was when my dad was hospitalized Kathy had a staff member when him all the time (especially when we the family needed to go home and rest). So he was never alone! I could go on with wonderful words for the Perryman House, but the best is the name of ALMOST HOME: Perryman House.

I honestly don't know what I would have done with my sweet mom if it weren't for Kathy and the team at Almost Home. For anyone who needs individual, personalized care in a nurturing environment with an unmatched caregiver to resident ratio, you cannot find a better place than Almost Home.

"Almost Home" is a misnomer. It should be called "Better Than Home". I cared for my beautiful Mother for many, many years in my home. However, there was no way I could provide the care that these angels did at Almost Home. Love abounds here. Instead of regressing, my Mom flourished. Conversation, Singing, home cooked meals, games, walks, manicures, pedicures, hair styling, daily devotions, outings, on site medical care...everything is done with the most unbelievable love! The best place in the WORLD for the one you love! Notice the word used most here...Yes, LOVE!

Almost Home Group has been a lifesaver for me. My wife was in advance stage of Alzheimer's. She was a little bit of a problem at other facilities she stayed previously and I was asked to move her. She could be a bit of liability to them. She does what other Alzheimer's patients do and they don’t want any liabilities or problems. Through a lawyer and a care broker, I was able to meet Cathy. They’re a blessing to us. The place is small with one on one care. The staff is all qualified, loving and caring. They’re certainly not there for the money. They just love what they do. All of their food are home cooked meals. They prefer any food my wife wants.

The Almost Home Group was like a dream cone true. Although we took great care reviewing assisted living ratings and conducting personal visits and interviews before choosing a facility, it became apparent that they were unable to provide the attention needed to adjust to a new environment or to address the care and understanding for someone in the late stages of his disease. As a result, we knew memory care assisted living was not a good fit or an option going forward. We are blessed to have found The Almost Home Group that provides the most wonderful care and attention to their residents that have a variety of diagnoses and needs. The home setting is cozy and comfortable with 24/7 care and attention. I have heard a number of times from staff how glad they are to be associated with any of the three residence under The Almost Home Group umbrella because they feel they have the latitude to do what they want to do related to their career choice and are meant to do, take care of their patients/residents. I feel fortunate he is in such and environment and finally have peace of mind related to his mental and physical health.

We have a close friend who lives at The Clinard House. He was so lucky to have his family find this home for him. He had become to much for his wife to handle at home. Let's be real here no one wants to have to put a family member in a home but sometimes there is no other choice.
This place is so wonderful. The people that work here really really do care about the people they care for. You just can't fake it 24-7! There is true caring and love for the patients that live in these homes. The staff has learned what our friend's need's are. They are providing care for him at a very high level.
This is the first place our friend has gone to so I can't compare to other places very well. I just know about stories I have heard! We are so glad he is where he is and in such good caring hands. The whole family is so relaxed with him there It's nice to be able to go online and see what he is doing almost anytime.
Thank you Kathy and your entire stall! You are all so wonderful!

My mother had been in different assisted living and skilled nursing facilities. She had many experiences with hospital admissions because of her falls. She would be sitting in the hallway lined up and no one was acknowledging she was there.
We read an article about Almost Home Group in the newspaper. We were interviewed by Kathy and we were so very impressed. I love that they have compassionate and caring caregivers. There was never a moment that somebody wasn’t there to take care of whatever the residents’ needs were. If a patient is crying, someone would respond immediately. Our experience with the previous facilities had been nothing like The Almost Home Group. I have peace of mind now. I can go to bed knowing that my mom is taken care of. If I just want to check in but don’t have time to go visit her, I can go online and check the webcam and observe how are they doing there . I always get a good response and they’re very informative if I ask questions about how my mom’s day was.

Staff is extremely accommodating and provides excellent reports about patient related issues. Administrator addresses any issues immediately to resolve them. Caregiver to patient ratio is the best around.

The Almost Home Group is an exemplary model of care for individuals walking the path of dementia. My Dad is a resident and has 1:1 care, home cooked meals, stellar hygeine care, and uncomparable nursing support in a residential setting nestled in a pristine, historic neighborhood. The Almost Home Group is pioneering a model of dementia care that is uncomparable to any residential facility. We had my father at a very highly rated memory care assisted living facility that was not a good fit for him because it wasn't 'HOME' and further was not able to meet his behavior needs he confronted in the later stages of his Alzheimer's disease. Our family had to weather poor adjustment and an inpatient psychiatric admission prior to having the privilege to ultimately have my father reside at the Clinard House with the Almost Home Group. He has been able to gain back significant weight due to his dramatic increase in appetite, maintain his hygeine with the attention of both the NA's and Hospice care within the loving walls of a residential dementia home. Kathy Hatfield, the owner of the Almost Home Group has given our family the invaluable gift of peace of mind. I am a Nurse Practitioner and was paramount in our families journey to find care for my father, who has severe Alzheimer's disease. I have visited at least a dozen facilities, read numerous books, talked with endless admission directors and feel confident when I say there is not one residential facility that is delivering the level of dignified, personal and professional care as the Almost Home Group. Kathy's vision, perseverance and love for individuals with dementia is unmistakably her calling. I could scream from the rooftops in praise of Kathy, her husband and her staff.

We chose the Perryman House because there were a small number of residents per care giver, like two care givers for four ladies. They have double rooms, two persons in a room. It’s just like a home. The staff is excellent, very caring and loving, and they see to all of my mom’s needs. They have good meals, and snacks in between. There are a lot of memory stimulating games, they do puzzles, they read with them, and they have musical activities.

The Almost Home Group agreed to care for my mother in her own home and I could not be more pleased with the quality of care and the quality of life my mother now has. Due to short-term memory issues that became evident followng a fall, Mom had lived for 2 years in an Assisted Living facility and we were living the all-too-common cycle of fall, go to the ER, stay in the hospital, go to rehab, return to the facility, fall again, etc. After thoroughly exploring options in the local area, and not finding any situation that was going to work very well for us (nothing was available with adequate supervision for folks with memory issues), we learned of The Almost Home Group. Having Mom in a situation where she has 24/7 one-on-one care in a nurturing environment has been such a blessing for our family. I (as the primary caregiver in the family) have actually been able to return to a somewhat normal lifestyle, because I know that my mother is content and safe. She has become physically stronger (no more trips to the ER - and it's been 3 months!), emotionally more stable, and although we still have the memory issues, she is finally in a happy place! I would highly recommend this group of caregivers and wholeheartedly support their mission to revolutionize the eldercare industry! I could not be more pleased!
