Mission Lodge - references

"The critical aspect of residential care of Alzheimer's client is the quality and ratio of staffing. On my first visit to Mission Lodge, I was impressed by the staffing ratio. Now, after attending to residents there, I am even more impressed with the attentiveness, caring, and skill of the nursing staff."

"I am ever more grateful for Mission Lodge. It helps my lonely times to realize that Eleanor is getting much better care than I could possibly give her. Eleanor seems very content with her many friends and the freedom to roam around. So once again I say, THANK YOU!"

"I am an old RN who has kept up my RN requirements so I am quite observant of excellent care... Mission Lodge should be an example for all care homes."

"Dear Folks at Mission Lodge: I so appreciate how well you have taken care of my mom (our little "cat with 9 lives") for the 6 years she resided with you. I know she felt nurtured and happy with you."

"We are writing this letter to tell you again how grateful and appreciative we are of the loving and wonderful care you gave to our husband and father, JOHN COLAVIN. John lived at Mission Lodge for more than 4 years. What we found was that he was always treated with respect and great dignity, as were all the other residents.

We were always made to feel welcome and greeted warmly by all the staff. John was well taken care of and even when he was demanding or unreasonable, the staff helped him achieve what he wanted and maintained his sense of integrity and control over what he did and how he did it.

We want to say to you that Mr. Colavin was always a person who enjoyed being with other people and he really enjoyed many of the staff who helped him and cared for him over the years. All of them showed exceptional respect and care to all the residents and to John.

Knowing how kind they all were was not only a comfort to Mr. Colavin, but to us as well."
