Ellen Rock
As a physician and a daughter, it is my honor and privilege to recommend Spirit Care Homes enthusiastically and without reservation. My father lived in a large assisted living facility for almost two years. As his neurologic disease progressed, that facility was unable to meet his care needs. We were incredibly lucky to find Spirit Care for the final several months of his life. The loving and sensitive staff made my father and our entire family feel at home and cared for. They went above and beyond to ensure that during his time at Spirit Care my father felt welcomed, safe, loved, and confident that his needs would always addressed. Unique to Spirit Care is the consistent and skilled caregiving team. At Spirit Care, the staff are respected and appreciated, which attracts and retains highly qualified, long term caregivers (we had experienced frequent turnover of staff at the larger facility). The owners and staff at Spirit Care constantly checked in with my father, our family, and his hospice team to ensure that he was getting the best care possible, always promoting his autonomy and quality of life. The state of the art monitoring technologies utilized at Spirit Care ensure the residents' safety and optimal health. Spirit Care worked with us to creatively adapt my father's care plan as his condition changed and they always advocated for us. Spirit Care's excellent program allowed me to let go of the role of care manager (because absolutely nothing fell through the cracks) so that I could just be a daughter again. In his final days, Ilitch, Ria, Tammy, and the entire staff enveloped us with love and support so we could focus on my father's comfort. In fact, they continued caring for our family even after my father had passed away with incredibly generous actions that allowed us to focus on grieving. I absolutely recommend Spirit Care Homes to any family looking for a caregiving home for their loved one. I will be forever grateful to Spirit Care for the role they play.
