Savvy Caregiver

By Patti Haddick, Director of Home Services - On a plane ride flight attendants instruct passengers to place the oxygen mask on themselves first and then help others with theirs. The same is true for anyone caring for a loved one. Take care of yourself first in order to have more to give your loved one. [...]

St. John’s has been wonderful! They are doing saintly work. When you love someone you want the best for them. When mom started having a few issues, I started checking out options. I really felt like a parent trying to find a trustworthy babysitter for a child. You don’t just hand off your child to anyone… because they cannot report. I am really fussy. I just want to know she is taken care of the way I would take care of her. Making sure she is safe, loved and treated with dignity. I found that kind of care with St. John’s Adult Day program. I can continue to work and take care of my personal needs while mom attends the program. I appreciate all the thought that goes into the program. They have entertainment, games, exercise, arts & crafts, and lots of social stimulation. All of these therapies are created to be fun experiences that are valuable to keeping her engaged and certainly add quality to her life. I love knowing she is “part of the family” at St. John’s. It makes my heart happy to know her time left here on earth can be meaningful and loving. I could go on and on! When you deeply love your parents, you want the best for them. I am so blessed to have a place like St. John’s so I can relax. Tom and Cheryl Mines

Thank you everyone for taking such good care of my mom Lucy. She passed away peacefully and no was not in pain. Without all of you, should could not have stayed in her home and that was her goal. You are all excellent and beautiful people. Thank you - Janice

Thank you so much for all of your help and assistance throughout the years. Your efforts have helped our family through many difficult elder issues. It is so difficult to manage elder issues living thousands of miles away.

Thank you for your kind note – no, no one thought our journey with mom would last 13 years! She is incrementally worse every day it seems, but we know we are on God’s timeline. We are still so grateful for her time at St. John’s , as well as all the guidance and support from the staff. I sure miss seeing Stacey, Lois, Jill and all the girls – angels on Earth in my eyes! Thanks! Barbie
