I have never experienced working with an assisted living facility before, which can be a scary thing. Wanting to ensure that my loved one was in the absolute best place; cared for as the unique and special person they are, knowing their mind and body s stimulated (not left in a bed to waste away), their medical needs seen to, fed healthy meals, remain part of a community, always clean and given the opportunities for hair cuts, nail trimmings, the little things that make one feel good about themselves, and with the ultimate hope that they are loved. I can never thank the Haven and all of the staff for what they have done for my dear friend Bob Erickson. He initially went in because he just couldn't live alone any longer. He was welcomed with open arms. Not much later, COVID hit and Bob was unfortunately in the hospital for 3 weeks, he was in complete isolation, and the Haven was gracious enough to let him go back to them under hospice terms. This way, he was around people he knew, cared for him, and LOVED him. They did not have to do this. But they did, which is a testament to the dedication they have to their clients. I believe Bob survived COVID because of the personal care, attention and love he received at the Haven. He was removed from hospice status and thrived for many many more months. When the time came, the staff was broken hearted to tell me that they could not offer the health care that Bob needs and deserves. Although I know they didn't want him to leave them, their honesty about what they could provide was so meaningful to me. I cannot thank them enough for that. Although Bob has moved to the Doak, I receive countless messages and calls from the staff asking about how he is doing. Adrian Idsal, the Director of the Haven has even come to visit him. When someone has dementia, to see a familiar face means all the world. I can never thank The Haven enough. You all are wonderful, special people. Angels on this earth. Thank you -...
Read moreMy 95 year old mother was living on her own until June of this year and doing pretty well. I had hoped she’d be able to stay there until she passed. In June things changed drastically for my mom and she needed assisted living which she was adamantly opposed to until we visited The Haven. We received such a wonderfully warm welcome by Adrienne and the staff that mom thought she just might like it there. I moved her in in mid July and she’s been happy and well taken care of ever since. Everyone at The Haven loves and cares for mom and all their residents! The staff is outstanding and the residents are awesome! The Haven has become a big part of our family now and we couldn’t be happier. I love going there and visiting with all the residents! Other people find it depressing going to visit mom, but for me it’s far from it. It’s always a great day when I get to go there. Thank you to Adrienne, the staff and...
Read moreI can't even express how grateful I am to the staff at The Haven for the amazing care they have given my mom. She moved into a shared room just over a month ago and is so happy there. The things she mentions the most are how safe she feels, how quiet and peaceful it is, and how much she enjoys being able to visit with other people when she wants to or sit in her room and read if she's wanting some alone time. She has done things, such as swimming and visiting a museum, that she hasn't done in decades and which I wouldn't even have thought of for her. Because everyone who works at The Haven is so kind and caring to all the residents, I'm able to have true peace of mind regarding my mom for the first time in many years. It's such a gift to be able to actually relax, especially when I'm out of town. I highly recommend checking out The Haven if someone in your family is needing...
