“The incredible staff at Primrose found ways to cater to his needs, and let his personality flourish”

“I wholeheartedly recommend Primrose to any family looking for a warm, safe and supportive home for their family member in need. My dad had Alzheimer’s Disease, and lived at Primrose for the last 5 years of his life. One of the things that I appreciated and respected most about Primrose was how their care for my dad changed as his disease evolved. My dad entered Primrose in a high functioning state, and the incredible staff at Primrose found ways to cater to his needs, and let his personality flourish. As my dad’s condition declined, the staff at Primrose kept him engaged, and went above and beyond to let him continue to do the things that he loved, even though his ability to do them was strained. The grace, compassion, and love that the Primrose staff showed my dad all the way until his last day was so special, and they helped my dad live out his last days in dignity and comfort. This compassionate care for their residents starts with the owner, is brought to life by the management, and extends to each member of their amazing staff. I feel very fortunate to have found Primrose, and I would strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a supportive home for their loved one.”
