A letter from a family member:
My name is
Rose and my mom has been at Juniper Village at Naples for about 3 months. She was previously at another facility, which
did not sufficiently meet our needs.
If first
impressions at Juniper can begin a story, then I can’t wait to read the rest of
the book! From the first moment we
walked into this facility, there was such a peaceful and pleasant feeling. The simplicity of Juniper is its’ charm. We met with Maria, the director, and can
honestly say that -an angel has led us to her path. Her warmth, personality and kindness made
this process simple and exciting, for both mom and our family. She carefully explained all concerns and went
over everything in detail. She is always
quick and reliable to follow up and go over any issues at any time. This type
of leadership is commendable, and it is reflected in the staff.
Mom settled
nicely in her new room, and is enjoying her surroundings. For someone who
speaks mostly Italian, mom has become quite social and made many friends. She
enjoys the food and the activities, and most of all-the freedom to be outdoors.
The staff is wonderful, always ready to
assist in any way possible. They greet
everyone with a pleasant smile and positive attitude!
Thru this
journey with my mom, I watched her struggle dealing with her onset of memory
loss; losing her independence; trying to fit in; and making sense of things
around her. Now when I come to visit
mom, I stop and watch, and think how far she has come in this short time. I see
a peace and tranquility in her that I have not seen in awhile. In my heart, I
know that mom did not find just another facility. Mom
found her HOME.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Rose
