I am so happy that both my mom and dad live at Sky Light Residential Care. My mom came here after she had been in the hospital, and she just needed a little more personal help than she could get at the large assisted living facility she was living in. Well, after a few days visiting her here, my father said he wanted to move in too, because he liked it here so much.They have both been here for four months now, and we are all very happy. Maro and George, the owners, really make mom and dad feel like a part of their family. Their young daughter visits often, and calls my mom "Grandma".The house is located in a lovely residential neighborhood, and it feels like a real home. It is beautifully decorated, and has a lovely backyard with a fully gated pool and wonderful outdoor seating area. My dad sits outside and reads the paper in the morning and listens to the birds. Family visits are encouraged, and we sit outside often when we come to visit.This is not a nursing home, and the staff are caregivers, not nurses, but both mom and dad's health is watched over and cared about. The staff show concern for the well-being of their residents. We have had many conversations about medicine needs, possible changes, and the effectiveness of new medications, so when I talk to mom and dad's doctors about their health, I can answer knowledgeably.The meals and snacks served are healthy and delicious. They serve organic fruit and vegetables. Mom and dad enjoy the healthy meals, snacks and desserts. My dad has some kidney issues and his recent tests have shown improvement, and the doctor said it is probably because of his improved diet.Their caregivers are wonderful. Aida treats mom and dad with respect, and knows when to use humor, or when to be serious. She also know when to help, and when to encourage self-reliance. Ani is always ready to lend a hand when mom stands up, and shows she truly cares with patience and nurturing. The house, kitchen and yard are kept spotlessly clean.I am voluntarily writing this review, because I want people to know how happy we are that mom and dad live here. If your loved one is active but needs some assistance with daily living and wants a lively, vibrant setting to live in, where they will feel like part of the family, not an institution, I highly recommend Sky Light Residential.
