Lia's Personal Care Home #2

After a years-long journey through senior-living options including independent living, assisted living, and memory care, my wife and I lost hope that truly good care was possible for her mother, who was living with dementia. At each place, we had to constantly monitor her (and her caregivers) to ensure that she received even basic care. We resigned ourselves to constantly checking on her and her care. Then we found Lia's Personal Care Home, and it was a completely different experience. The long-tenure caregivers there got to know my mother-in-law as an individual. They learned her preferences, her sense of humor, and what made her happy; discovering things we didn't even know. They learned what she would eat when her appetite was low and found ways to sneak in extra nutrition and hydration. They were our partners in her care and would communicate with us about everything and offered helpful ideas when needed. Their attention to detail meant that when she was sick or out of sorts, they noticed immediately and acted quickly. We had a camera at previous facilities just to ensure she was safe, but at Lia's, the camera showed us something else: caregivers giving her hugs, making her laugh, and truly connecting with her. The basics were also well covered. Lia's is always clean. The food is good, healthy, and flexible for individual needs. The caregivers are competent and attentive. They partner with the also-great Agape Hospice which creates a smooth transition when it's time. We were often told by others in the medical and elder-care industries that Lia's is a great place compared to others they knew of or worked in. My mother-in-law's death was quick and unexpected, but it gives our family great peace to know that she was in a place where she felt at home and truly cared for. For anyone looking for a place for their loved one at the end of their life, we will always recommend a personal care home over larger facilities, and we hope all families are lucky enough to find a place as terrific as Lia's.

Prior to moving my mom into Lia’s, she had been in and out of rehab facilities and hospitals for four months. It was exhausting and required my constant attention to make sure she was being taken care of. Once mom arrived at Lia's, I could feel the stress begin to lessen dramatically. Even though I was there a lot, I knew that if I missed a day or two, mom was being well cared for because of the phenomenal attention from Lia, Alex, Moni and the other caregivers. They truly care! They are kind, incredibly compassionate, and loving. Mom was always clean, the home smelled great, and the atmosphere was always positive. It’s truly a home. The ratio of caregiver to resident is great too—something that’s very difficult to find. Mom passed away within a month of moving into Lia’s home, but I’m so thankful that her final days were spent there. Alex, Moni, and Lia were incredibly kind to my family and treated us with the utmost tenderness during an incredibly difficult season. I will forever be grateful for them. I can’t recommend them enough!

The staff seem to actually care about each resident. They do what they can to make everyone comfortable. I didn't see many activities. But other than maybe 2 I don't think many of the residents were capable of doing many activities.They did take them outside. They don't allow them to stay in their rooms alone all day which is very good (for those who can get up). They do sit and talk with them. They're good to move them around like from the table to the tv or to a recliner. And they did have special meals and activities on special occasions like Mother's Day. My family and I were very pleased with Lia's. I would highly recommend them.

Our Dad moved to Lia's just over 4 weeks ago after being at a large institution for 6 months. The difference between the two is unbelievable! Lia's is truly a home. It is not cold and impersonal, and the care is phenomenal! After multiple falls at the other facility and the most recent severe fall, our Dad couldn't do anything for himself anymore. Now, he is clean, well groomed, well fed, and safe. He has begun to stand and take baby steps again. He doesn't just spend the entire day in bed like he used to at the other place, even before the falls. He is a grouch at times, but they just accept him and see the good in him. He has rapidly advancing dementia at 92.5 years. He is a type A personality and normally very active, so this change is especially distressing for him. We simply cannot thank all the staff at Lia's for the loving care ❤️ and all they do. We truly feel God led us there, and we are so thankful. There is no better care anywhere! Thank you all! UPDATE - 2/22/24 My Dad passed away a month ago at Lia's. I would still give them 10 stars if I could! Our Dad was only there 4 months before he passed, and they were hard times, but Lia, Alex, Mona, and all of their loving staff made it so much easier. We can not thank them enough for the tender loving care they gave Daddy. I know it was extremely challenging at times with his severe dementia. They treated him like their own father, and that did our hearts good to see. I wish we had known about Lia's sooner and that we had started his journey there in the beginning, but I am so very thankful that God led us to Lia's when he did. They provided extraordinary care! As an RN, I know the challenges with skin care in patients. Daddy's tailbone protruded horribly as he deteriorated, but with their excellent care, he did not have any bedsores. That alone speaks volumes about their care! Lia's is a warm and loving home, not an overcrowded institution. It is immaculate with stable staff. If you are fortunate enough that Lia's has an opening and you have a loved one that needs this type of care, run, don't walk, to Lia's! This is the place we all deserve when circumstances warrant. Thank you, Lia, Alex, Mona, and everyone. We love you and appreciate you. ❤️

Our father recently passed away, just before his 93rd birthday, slightly less than a year after pretty sudden onset of rapidly debilitating dementia. He spent the first 6 months in memory care at a local, very nice, assisted living complex, however, there was such frequent turnover of staff, that with him all the while getting worse and worse, we were delighted when an opening became available at Lia's and we were able to move Daddy there in early September. Lia, her sister Mona, son Alex, as well as all the rest of the staff, are very loving, caring people who truly do their best to keep the residents as comfortable and well cared for as humanly possible. And there is very little staff turnover here - not different faces all the time, as before. Our family would highly recommend Lia's. You could not ask for a better home for your loved one, however long it might prove to be needed. They only have 7-8 residents at a time in this large, warm and welcoming, immaculately-kept house - nothing institutional about it! With the way we came to learn of it and how quickly we were able to move him there, we truly feel God led us there. Bless all of you at Lia's for your wonderful, compassionate, not to mention PATIENT, care of Roy! You made a very difficult time a lot more bearable, and we all sincerely thank you!
