Sundance at Brushy Creek

I can not be any happier with the care my mom is getting. I am at peace with how my mom is flourishing in the Montessori program at Sundance. It is unbelievable how they provide a purpose for daily living. Montessori approach is creating an environment that engages people to be independent in every aspect of themselves which in turn gives them a sense of purpose, dignity, and trust. I always thought, if I ever had children I would send them to Montessori school. Switching roles with my mother from child to caregiver I am happy I still held on to that dream and chose Montessori for my mom. I have kept my promise not to just “put my mom away in a nursing home”.. She is LIVING at Sundance (her new home) with amazing people, thriving, and enjoying stellar quality care. The staff have been like no other- I have several of their phone numbers in my phone along with the owner Matt. They are ALWAYS within a texting reach or phone call. They always respond! During these hard times with Covid, Lena and Renate have been so understanding and accommodating with setting up Skype and FaceTime for my mother and I to visit any time I want. The owner, Matt... There is no other person on this planet I have ever met who has genuinely cared so much for me and my mom. He has spent a lot of time with me, especially in the beginning of the transition from home to Sundance. He sympathized right along with me when times were hard and always reassured me it will get better. He has really set the bar extremely high! Matt has also included me in weekly webinars about Montessori and Dementia which have been so very helpful for me to understand the disease. I knew literally nothing about dementia before I met Matt. We were lost and I was very scared I was not going to be able to find proper help for my mom who is a retired nurse. I only wanted the best because I know she deserves it- she has cared for people her whole life... Sundance has changed our lives for the better because of how they respect my mom for the life she led prior to dementia and they give her purpose. Also, Matt has been excellent through the whole Covid shutdown. Very very strict on keeping the residents safe beyond all means and I really appreciate that. His staff has made unbelievable commitments to 100% shelter in place other than going to Sundance to take care of some of the most vulnerable people for work. I have felt so safe for my mom to be there when other senior facilities have fallen short and had covid breakouts. I could seriously write a booklet on how Sundance is the bees knees lol. I feel like the luckiest girl and I feel like my mom must have been a saint in her past life because she is the luckiest of all. Oh! and my mom loves the food. All the residents have a hand in menu planning whether it is cotton candy or NY strip steaks, Sundance accommodates. She likes to tell me she is the "Dietary Director".. Simply warms my heart.

My mom is using Sundance at Brushy Creek for respite care. It's new and it's very good. Their staff is really attentive, cheerful, and helpful. The apartment is very home-like, clean, and spacious. The food is very good.

Sundance was very nice and seemed like a very good place with very nice rooms, a good staff, and nice dining area.
