Carefree Assisted Living Center

My mother has been a resident at Carefree Assisted Living for 3 years. The staff has become like members of our family, with care and companionship she receives 24/7. I feel blessed every day that we have found such a wonderful facility.

One of the most difficult things one might do in their lifetime is having to place a family member, a loved one into an assisted living home. The choices can be vast and very emotional. Questions will be many and they are all justifiable. I started looking for my friend Carol early spring, 2015. When we walked into Carefree Assisted Living, Carol's first words were "This is what I want". It was late morning and there was activity all around. Carol Dexter helped us at that time, showing us rooms and answering questions we had. Being the very skeptical person I am because of past experiences with this, I suggested to my friend to wait and see. So we, better said I, waited to see. I became very pleased. At anytime I stopped in to look, it was always the same. Employees working, smiling, and speaking to the residents. Carol Dexter was endless in her quest to be helpful but never overbearing. She seemed to know when to be by my side and when to leave me with my thoughts. I had so many questions, some of which I asked more than once at different occasions. I was checking if the answers were the same each time and yes they were. I at no time felt pressured to sign my friend into Carefree Assisted Living Center. It was close to six (6) months before my friend was signed into her new living home. Carol Dexter kept in contact with me this entire time as I made sure my friend was truly ready in her mind to move. Never during this waiting period did I feel pressured by anyone at Carefree Assisted Living Center. I can never seem to "sing enough praises" for Carefree Assisted Living.

Dear Gary and Lisa, It's been such a blessing for our family to have our Mom at Carefree Assisted Living Center. It's not owned by some out-of-state big corporation, but by yourselves -- two loving, concerned owners who take a personal interest in all your residents. Because your facility is cozy, smaller in size and homey, the staff takes a personal interest in each person -- and knowing their needs. They treat each person with compassion and patient loving care. Oh, how our family appreciates every one of you. We were no longer able to take care of our mom at home and we, as a family, couldn't have found a better "fit". We appreciate you, your facility, and staff more than you will ever know.

Old age, dementia, Alzheimer's (not necessarily in that order) have a way of sneaking up on you. For my mom, it was a slow progression that we imagined we could handle every step of the way. We couldn't. After years of caring for her at home, Carefree has taken over tasks that I could no longer handle. She is happy, engaged, and safe. They have incredible caregivers 'round the clock in a "just the right size" facility. So much kindness and genuine concern for her well being. She is blessed to live here. I can't thank you enough for giving me the opportunity to love my Mom again.

I thought it would be important to share my personal experience with Carefree Assisted Living Center, as this is a profoundly important decision for many families to make. I have to say, Carefree is truly the best facility I have seen of it's kind. As a physical therapist, I have seen many facilities and none as caring and clean as Carefree. Last year, I had the opportunity to visit Carefree as a friend's mother made her transition from this world. The staff was so caring and nurturing, not only to my friend's mother but also to my friend and myself at a difficult time. Each caregiver and nurse that entered the room showed their genuine care and love, sometimes with tears in their eyes. I am very grateful for the loving and fully attentive environment that Carefree clearly demonstrates to it's residents and their families.

I had to, unfortunately, put my father in an assisted living center recently. He was no longer to care for himself and we couldn't accommodate him either. We looked and toured this facility multiple times before we finally chose to go with another place, although this place did have amenities that others didn't have. For instance, we really liked the down-home feel of the rooms and the entire location. It was very comfortable, cozy even, with it's limited ground size. It looked like a house! They did offer personal, independent rooms that were like apartments. Or you can choose to have a room-mate. They also seemed less institutional. They give more active personalized monitoring for each person. They offer certain amenities with different rooms. For example, some rooms offer for you to bring your own furniture in and others have a kitchenette. But they said they can only sometimes offer basic needs my father would need. Such as bathing, changing, laundry, meals, transportation, etc. I think the only reason we didn't go with this center is because it was a more independent in-home facility than what we were looking for.
