So Happy They Had To Write About It

Posted on September 27, 2011 by vintageuser

What a great day to get a note that one of our community teams made a family member so happy they had to blog about it!

Last week at Vintage Las Palmas in Laguna Woods, CA the Executive Director Sue Johnson received a letter from a family member that he had a plan to get America back to work – what if each of us shared with our circle of friends and family local businesses that we recommend via facebook, a personal blog or email? As part of Ernie’s plan in action he posted a great recommendation for Vintage Las Palmas:

“After doing a thorough due diligence visit of several Assisted Living Facilities for Seniors, we found Vintage Las Palmas in Laguna Woods. This turned out to be the best decision we could have made for my elderly parents. They have a private apartment and a bunch of things to do. The most important benefit is that they get compassionate care from a very polite staff. The best way to describe this community is to call it a Cruise Ship on Moulton Parkway in Laguna Woods. Call Sue or talk to one of her staff members if you have a loved one that needs a positive environment and compassionate care.”

Here’s Ernie C.’s blog post about juicing the economy fittingly named The Casarez Jobs Recovery Act of 2011.

Thank you to our amazing associates who’s hearts sing each time they hear they’ve exceeded expectations, and our residents and families who make each day so meaningful.

Lots of great days around Vintage Senior Living. Good stuff.

Dementia Support Groups

Posted on September 14, 2011 by vintageuser

When a loved one’s memory begins to fade from Alzheimer’s or other dementia the challenges can soon become overwhelming. And living with the evolution of dementia is simply tough. As trained and educated caregivers we understand and we believe in the importance of supporting families not only through our care services but by hosting support groups. Alzheimer’s support groups provide the emotional support and educational opportunities to understand what’s happening, what can be expected and best of all to know you’re not alone. If you’re in Orange County please join our Alzheimer’s / Dementia Support Group in Mission Viejo. Many of our communities offer support groups – please call your local Vintage community. We look forward to getting to know you.
