Bringing Grandma closer to me

My grandmother, Susan Coley, has called Novellus Clairemont home for the past year and a half, and our family is deeply grateful for the care, safety, and comfort she has found there. Susan is very aware and engaged, often speaking highly of the staff members who make her feel supported every day. A special thank you to [name removed], who has been there since day one and consistently shows compassion and dedication. [name removed] has helped build Susan’s confidence and trust in her medications and care, especial

Critical

Do your research better.

It was convenient to my mom and sister. The staff immediately took brand new pants and snacks/drinks from dads fridge 2 hrs after he passed or a week prior to my sister visiting. Call the family immediately when staff says they pass. They waited 2 hrs for hospital/nurse to call us. Then wanted everything cleared up , available for next person within a week?

I toured this community for my mother and I will be depositing this week. I was very impressed with their resident happiness factor and the vibe was really nice. Residents seemed genuinely happy to be there and the staff were very nice and respectful. It made my mother feel at home
