Dear Fred and Mary Kay,

It is my pleasure to give you some thoughts about the care my dad received at Mari de Villa.
Dad formed relationships with his care givers. From the physical therapist to the nurses and aids, he saw the same people throughout his stay of three years. Mari de Villa does not employ "temporary" help. The people who cared for him took responsibility for his well being, even when he was difficult!

The facilities were clean and were kept up to date from a maintenance perspective. He had what ever he needed to make his stay comfortable. He had a private room - a nice size private room- at a rate that was favorable compared with other facilities in the area. The grounds were beautifully landscaped and maintained. Taking Dad on a walk was always a favorite activity when weather permitted. Our family always felt welcome there - no matter what time we chose to visit. It was nice to take dad out to the clubhouse for brunch on Sunday or special celebrations. I always felt welcome if I wanted to come and share a meal with dad in the dining area. The staff made an effort to please him if he had special food requests.

We trusted dad's medical care to the internist on staff at Mari de Villa. I was very happy with the care he received from the staff doctor, who was most competent and had a real understanding of the issues facing the elderly.

Care at Mari de Villa is very personal and does not feel institutional. The management team takes real pride in providing top notch care for all residents, from the condos to those requiring the highest level of care. My dad's last years at Mari de Villa were the best they could be. He was always treated with dignity and respect.
Best regards,
Julie
