Testimonials -- What our clients have to say about JK House of Grace

This letter is a testimonial regarding the care that my Aunt has been receiving here at JK House of Grace. I would highly recommend this facility to any family in search of home care.

This group home is the closest comparison to their own home. The staff here is absolutely the greatest! I truly believe that the owners of this facility have been heaven sent. It takes a very special type of people to provide the truly deep care and concern that is shown to each and every resident.

In my situation, living in another State, this facility has always been a God send to me. I can sleep well knowing that my Aunt is the best hands possible.

I want to say thank you for the very caring and professional way in which you and your staff are attending to Mom and the other ladies who are fortunate enough to be at JK House of Grace.

JK House of Grace...the name was appealing. It was suggestive and promising. Grace is a divine attribute, love in action. But then, what is in a name? Nursing home means business. We had departed one nursing home because of unacceptable service, too nonchalant as it was. I believe in God rather than in mere chance or good luck. I feel that it was providential that we heard about JK House of Grace. I entrusted the Crown Jewel of my heart, my beloved, beautiful wife into the custody and care of JK House of Grace. Thank you and our sincere appreciation for the dedicated loving care given to my beloved wife.

Our family chose JK House of Grace after touring several group homes in the area. JK House of Grace was chosen due to the longevity of staff, residents’ longevity in the home, the warmth of the home, the room that was available, and the comforting smell. Thanks so much for your efforts!

Why we chose JK House of Grace:

When my mother-in-law Michele had major vascular surgery, my husband and I knew that she would not be able to return to the large Assisted Living Facility where she had been “just getting by”.

As a Registered Nurse who has worked in home health nursing and as director of nursing at an Assisted Living Community, I knew Michele needed more one-on-one attention and assistance. So after much research and referrals, my husband embarked on finding a residential care facility that could deal with Michele's increased needs. He visited about nine homes in total. Most facilities were very nice; some were even grander. But JK House of Grace stood out, not necessarily for its location or size of room, but for the owner, Maria, RN. Upon meeting her, my husband knew that this was the special place his mother needed if she was going to recover. With Maria being an RN and her expertise in wound care, we didn't hesitate to move Michele from the rehab center (where she was deteriorating) to Maria's.

A little background: Prior to her move to JK House of Grace, she was barely walking, barely eating, and unfortunately her memory loss at times was getting quite severe. Many of the things that she did a few months prior had become impossible and she was "slipping through the cracks" of the Assisted Living Community system.

In a very short time under Maria's care, we saw drastic improvements. Now mind you, my mother-in-law is a strong-willed woman of European decent. She also has a knack to charm just about anyone (especially caregivers) to get out of doing anything that she doesn't want to do! (Like eating and physical therapy).

Because of her persistence, Maria has slowly gotten Michele to eat again, not five course meals, but enough to sustain her and to enable her body to heal from the surgery. Michele is also walking again, with the help of a walker (something she refused to do just a couple months prior to surgery). Michele has been able make this progress despite her stubborn streak, griping and outright refusal at times. The care Michele is receiving is highly personalized to her needs and wants, always given with dignity and love.

I can tell you, that with my background and experiences, that care like this is unique. Maria's sense of pride is demonstrated by her simple philosophy.... making her residents better (not just sustaining them). The caregivers diligently carry out Maria's plan of care and have Maria available for back-up anytime there is an issue.

We take each day as it comes, delight in the good news but expecting setbacks from time to time. But I know that our family can rest at night knowing that Michele is in good hands. She looks so warm, cozy, and cared for.
