I had to place my parent in a home and this was just like having him at my own home. It was well home cooked meals and like family taking care of him.

They're very bad on every level. Teresa's Tender Loving Care was a residence modified to accommodate six residents including the home owner, so there were no other employees that I was aware of. There was clutter everywhere, and there was a rather horrible smell. There were no activities. The residents that were living there seemed like they were sedated to the point that they had no movement or knowledge of where they were.

There are four siblings in my family. I am the only sibling who doesn't have any of my own children. So naturally I have been chosen to look for a nursing facility to care for my ill father. A co-worker recently suggested I look into Teresa's Tender Loving Care facility in Hilmar. I scheduled an appointment to visit this facility. As I walked into the facility I was greeted with open arms. The staff seemed very friendly and welcoming. I expressed my situation going into this and they assured me it's very normal. I was taking on a tour through the place. Everything seemed clean including where the staff does all their paperwork. I met with some of the guest living here. They all seemed very happy even some of their family members were visiting at the same time. I was then showed where the guest eat. The first thing I noticed was the order of everything. Cups, plate wear, chairs, tables, extremely clean kitchen, even the smell was refreshing. After my tour I met with the chief director to explore my families' options for my Dad. I was asked what were the things I was looking for, payment options, and the time frame for my Dad to move. As of now my overall experience of Teresa's Tender Loving Care facility was great. For someone who has no real idea how this works I was taught about everything I needed to know and have taken this information back to my family. As a family we are still searching for different options for my Dad due to cost issues.
