I write this to those of you who, like me, feel guilty and scared at not being able to care for your loved one who is suffering from ever-developing memory loss any longer. You want him/her to be honored and respected, on top of being reliably and responsibly cared for, but you've heard the nightmare stories of elderly people in care facilities--especially those with memory loss--who are neglected or worse. I was once you. My mother just died of Alzheimers Disease after having lived two years in "The Gardens" at Meredith Bay Colony Club. I can not tell you how un-dyingly grateful I am for having stumbled upon this care facility and above all, for the entire staff in The Gardens who I think of as the angels who cared for her as i was not able to, in exactly the ways I wanted her to be cared for. They gave her joy and dignity and care--as only people who give those things are naturally compelled to, not just because they're employed to do so. Her care WAS expensive and the facility itself is neither a 4-star hotel nor a state-of-the-art hospital, but the people with whom my mom was in contact made it so my sister and I don't have a single regret--only intense gratitude--about our having made our way to MBCC for my mother's final years.
