Sisters Elder Care

The nurse and the owner of Sisters Elder Care LLC went to where my husband was to interview him, talk with him, and talk with the people that had been caring for him, which I thought was very good. That's the first time that's ever happened, to have them go to the place and look at him before they accept him. So, I was impressed with that and then when he was to move in, they had everything ready for him. It was all done. There are so many things that I like about this placement so far. One is there is somebody with my husband at night, awake and watching, in case anyone needs anything or gets upset. The first couple of nights, he didn't sleep there, which he had in the other home, and was up all night. They went in and they sat with him and talked with him until he went back to sleep. Then they started trying to figure out how to help him with that, and finally, we figured out with him what was keeping him awake, and once that was corrected, he started sleeping through the night within 2 or 3 days. They were just very attentive. They have individual bedrooms. So that's one person in a bedroom. They have a maximum of eight people there. I was very impressed with the staff they had there. I like the setting. It's a very cheerful, happy, and pleasant place. They pay a lot of attention to the residents. They have made a big difference in him in only a couple of weeks. They do a lot of individual attention and they also have an open plan for the main area so that they can watch on big television, play games, or go there and watch what they're doing. Like if they're cooking for dinner or so forth. They can go over and look. They just have so many things. They have healthy snacks that the residents can get themselves if they want it. They try to help people. They've already helped my husband who was not reading, was not doing anything, and was not talking to anybody. Now, they have everything ready for him. He's reading the paper again. He's working on puzzles. He's playing checkers with one of the people that's there. There's a variety of things for them to do daily. They're close to Bridgeport, within driving distance and also to Fairmont. So, within three to twenty miles, those towns are located. Each person has a bedroom and it is decorated as to whatever that person is interested in. It has a TV in the room, a desk that they put in for my husband to use his computer, and a window in the room that they can look out to. It's pretty well planned for that person. You can bring anything you want to decorate the room. They have a nurse on call who can be there within three minutes no matter what time of the day. They've already brought my husband's sugar to normal. So, their food is healthy. There are little snacks all around the room that the residents can help themselves with that are healthy snacks like yogurt or fresh fruit and different things. They have very balanced meals. He eats everything that's on his plate.
