Home Horizons: A Family’s Journey to Aging in Place

Testimonial for Garden Spot Village At Home

After my father’s passing in 2018, my mother relocated to an apartment at Garden Spot Village with beautiful courtyard views. She treasured her independent lifestyle until medical issues began limiting her mobility last year. We initially considered moving her to personal care—a decision she dreaded despite believing it necessary.

Fortunately, we discovered Garden Spot Village At Home services. Now, she receives precisely the assistance she needs: morning help with dressing, meals, and physical therapy exercises; afternoon and evening support for walks, errands, and dining outings. Her medications are now professionally monitored and delivered in prepared “pill packs,” ensuring she takes the correct prescriptions at the proper times.

These services have been a game changer for our family. Instead of sacrificing her independence and downsizing to unfamiliar surroundings, my mother continues living happily in her beloved home, surrounded by cherished memories. As her only child, I have tremendous peace of mind knowing she receives appropriate daily care when I cannot be present. We’re deeply grateful to Amelia Hamm, Director of Home and Community Based Services, and her exceptional caregiving team. I highly recommend Garden Spot At Home services to anyone who could benefit from them.
