“My father-in-law has lived at Providence Place for several years after his doctors decided he could not live on his own any longer. He has enjoyed a private room with a spectacular mountainside view; the room complete with his own bath and kitchenette. He LOVES it and the staff. We will be forever grateful to the staff who sat with Dad in his room for more than an hour upon his arrival. Everyone went out of their way to come in and introduce themselves and took the time to listen to Dad's concerns. When we first arrived Dad was apprehensive and a bit frightened. By the time we were leaving, he was laughing and joking with staff as if he had been there forever. A big concern was that Dad was not eating well on his own; not only has he raved about all his meals (which he eats with his friends in a beautifully appointed dining room), he has actually gained weight! After fighting us on the idea of assisted living for years (and he would not move in with any family member), after twenty four hours at Providence Place, he was telling us he should have moved there "years ago." Another issue we had with Dad was his not taking his medications as prescribed. He had been hospitalized at home several times because of this problem. The staff can be completely trusted to see that Dad gets all his medications if and when he needs them and not one problem since. What a relief! The social life for residents is beyond compare; our biggest complaint would be that Dad is never in his room where we can call him. Mall trips, bingo, concerts, black jack, etc. all occupy his time. It was particularly important to Dad that he still attend Church and Providence Place has a van that takes him there every Sunday without fail. They schedule his doctors' visits and then take him to those appointments. He was tickled that the driver of the van actually came by a half hour earlier than his scheduled pick up time to remind him he needed to be ready to go. A half hour later, the gentleman came back to take Dad out. Dad was so pleased. During his time there, we have had regularly scheduled conferences with the staff. We have never found anyone to be anything but caring, kind and most professional. Do not hesitate for a minute to consider Providence Place!”
