My mom had a stroke in 2021. My step dad and I took care of her until 2024 when her mobility became so compromised we just couldn't do it anymore.
I wanted to find a place that was not an institutional warehouse of the elderly and thankfully found it at Be Well Senior Living on Varna Ave. They take wonderful care of her and we see her everyday as we try to keep her integrated in our family. She has a private room with a view of trees, roses and gardenias. Also, they cater to her special diet (no gluten or diary due to seizures) so I don't have to worry (this is a nightmare in other facilities). There are always at least 2 caregivers, sometimes 3 who are wonderful - patient and kind when my mom can be a handful at times. There is a maximum of 5 other residents so she can be social if she is so inclined.
Russ & Elina are wonderful to work with! Through the entire process of finding my mom a suitable place, they were understanding, patient and answered all of my questions. They keep us informed of any changes or issues that arise and are fantastic resources for my mom. For example, my mom needed a haircut and they recommended Stacey Harris. She then became my mom's massage therapist and friend. Sometimes, my mom plays bingo with Elina's son, who is such a charming young man.
If you find yourself in the unfortunate position of needing to find care for a loved one, Be Well Senior Living is the best you will find!
