My mother recently celebrated her 91st birthday at Grace Homes in Hopkins, Minnesota. She has lived in this residential nursing home for several years, and during that time, my mother has thrived.
I believe one of the main reasons why my mother has thrived at Grace Homes is because the care that she receives is excellent. My mother suffers from memory loss, and over the past few years, the staff at Grace Homes has encouraged my mother to be more physically active, to eat better, and to take fewer medications, if possible, in order to address her condition.
Under the close supervision of the staff at Grace Homes, my mother has continued to remain upbeat and positive about her life, and whenver I visit her, she is always cheerful and optimistic. My mother is also very proud of her own private room, particularly in relation to how it has been furnished with family photos and memoribilia. I was very touched to see that the staff at Grace Homes, with the help of my youngest brother and his wife, have displayed several oil paintings that my mother completed when she was in her early seventies.
I am so grateful that my mother has such excellent care!
