Family Member Testimonial: Memory Support at RiverMead

Back to blog

"The care given by the RiverMead staff is warm, calm, respectful and with knowledge of each individual resident and what that person needs.

An example of individualized care is of nurse Chris greeting my mom, Peggy each morning singing the song Peggy Sue and with a kiss on the cheek. Mom loved to sleep in and the staff allowed her that extra time, especially as she neared 100.  

   What I appreciated so much was having the head nurse work with me and be open to suggestions regarding my mom’s health, meds and care.  When my mom was dying, my family was so thankful to have mom in her home at RiverMead under Hospice care and gently loving RiverMead staff and nurses.  They were so attentive and warm. The night I slept over, being told that mom would pass soon, there was a night nurse, Mark or should I say angel, who would come regularly to check on mom and if l was awake would ask if there was anything I needed and made sure I was okay too.  I will aways be thankful for the love and care that mom received and that extra special attention at the end of her life."
