Testimonials

Roxanne is just wonderful in the dining room with all of the residents.

Dick and I are writing to compliment Norma, our Housekeeper. She brightens up our day, and is so helpful, especially with things we find difficult to do.

What a wonderful place for my dad! He is very well cared for and doing remarkably well. Special thanks to Nikki for doing such a great job!

It has been the best place to handle the hardest thing I have ever done. You and your staff are the best! Your patience has been appreciated. Keep doing what you do!

With gratitude,

First time visitor to Kay. We're nursing school buddies and long time friends. Flew in from Phoenix. Beautiful apartment she had and delightful people here.

Thanks for taking such good care of Dolores. There is an excellent team in the Memory Care unit on the 2nd floor. Thanks for being welcoming to me - the hospice volunteer.

Thank you a thousand times over for all the staff who care for my grandma! Your dedication and positive attitude is not forgotten and it is so much appreciated.

On March 16th, I observed 5 years residency at Lilydale Senior Living. It's quite amazing to me how quickly the time has passed. I'm reflecting on all the agreeable services in this lovely facility. First, I wish to compliment Ron on his admirable performances in addressing the few issues that I've encountered. His prompt, efficient repairs, provided with a cheerful attitude, have always resulted in satisfactory solutions.

My family insists on indulging me with house-keeping services, as you perhaps know. That chore has fallen to Edie most of my time here. She has performed her duties with diligence and dedication in a most exceptional manner. I can't image a more pleasant, competent person doing the tasks for me. Edie is a delightful and outstanding staff member. I'm very grateful for her.

The building is so beautiful, but the people are what make it special. Every one of you bring your talent and caring to work very day. You made us feel like family. My dad and mom loved you and I still do. You took our lemons and made lemonade.

Every time I come to see Mom, I feel some apprehension and often cry on the way home. She is a shell, in many ways, of what she used to be. I pray, just bless our time together - and he does.

Today as I was leaving these leaves caught my eye. They had once been something that people would seek out in the fall to appreciate their beauty. They've been blown down in the wind and have disintegrated to a shell. Look, though, now they are intact - all of the veins of life still perfect. I asked a couple of people what they saw in them. "A rotten leaf." To me they are so beautiful in their "earthly imperfection." This to me was one of the many reminders I'm given when things are overwhelming.

Mom is intact and beautiful. Every time I watch you be with her I see it. I am so thankful that you are the one who can look at her as the woman she always was, not a shell, but beautiful as those adornments of youth have faded, sometimes more & more every day.

I love you for it!

Your staff is fabulous, compassionate, skilled and always willing to go the extra step. What a gift they are to those who live here!

Just a note to tell you how much we appreciate our housekeeper. She is always pleasant, cooperative, and very helpful. We agree that ours is a dusty apartment, so it can be challenging to clean, but she does a great job! Thankful for her!

Just a note to tell you I feel the addition of the flag pole and our "Stars & Stripes" blowing in the wind daily unites the two buildings of Lilydale Senior Living. I love to look down the driveway on my daily 30-minute walk from Hwy 13 and see the flag blowing in the breeze. It's beautiful! It is a great addition. The ceremony on Thursday brought tears to my eyes. Thank you!

Guil Ramsdell is the most professional server in our building. He always makes sure that everything served is hot and he is very kind to all!

Dear Lilydale Staff,

Just a note of appreciation to the entire staff of Lilydale Senior Living for the recent barbecue, so beautifully presented to us and enjoyed by us. We are impressed by your expertise, planning and the chef for a most wonderful barbecue experience. Please know that with each of these endeavors, we appreciate what you do more than you know.

The best part of our experience was the staff.

I hope you know how comforting it was when we all walked away and knew they were cared for. The gals in the Memory Unit do their work like they love the residents. That is something that cannot be taught, it comes from within their hearts - The nursing staff, housekeeping and maintenance & kitchen also are all outstanding also.

Thanks for the good experience!

Thank you to the staff of Lilydale. You gave our mom, Lucille, so much love and she loved each and every one of you.

To all the wonderful people of Lilydale Senior Living who have helped me to regain a lot of my health and become at home here, I say a big THANK YOU! The nursing staff has my wellbeing at heart. In many different ways, I thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart for your love and care.

We recommend Lilydale Senior Living to everyone. The facility, the management and the staff are all excellent. Thank you.

Thanks to your whole staff for the GREAT care my mom got for 3 years! We'll miss you!

Thank you for making Lilydale Senior Living attractive and comfortable for all the tenants. I feel at home here and proud to show it off!

I'd like to thank both Diane and Robin for their exceptional positive attitudes and willingness to help me and Kay Peterson's companion and Kay herself.

Several years ago, I chose to live here because of all the wonderful things going on and the friendly staff. I would like to acknowledge them all, and especially our Activity Director, Robin. It's a huge job, scheduling, coordinating and even moving furniture to take down and set up for the next activity. She is always upbeat and terrific. A big THANK YOU to Robin and ALL the staff at Lilydale!

Just a note of thanks for putting on a wonderful breakfast for all of us. The food was very hot, the bacon was really crisp. Sometimes it beats cooking. Danke schoen!

Dear Pam & Staff at Lilydale Senior Living,

Our heartfelt thanks for the amazing care and love you provided for my dad & grandad! We will be forever grateful he was able to spend the last 5+ years in such caring hands.

Jenny is very kind to the senior citizens by always asking if their meal is okay. If not, she tries to get something else for them!

To the Five Year Party Committee, your thoughtful work was appreciated!

Sue is so good about helping any of us residents.

To the entire staff,

A big thank you for your patience, courteous help and understanding.

Thank you for making my mom feel comfortable- as well as myself.

A big "thank-you" to the gentleman who wakes and tends to the beautiful flowers in the planters. I enjoy the beauty as do the humming birds, butterflies and moths at night.

Keep up the good work - the helpers here are very pleasant and helpful. I could go on and on. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the expert care you provided for my father during his tenure at Lilydale Senior Living. Please know that we are grateful to ALL the many staff who helped to care for him. Keep sharing your many gifts - and touching many many lies with the fine work that you do!

Our mother, 92, has lived in the Lilydale Senior Building since February 2013, almost 4 years. She has a cardiac condition which greatly limits her energy level and she has permanent hearing loss which limits her ability to communicate with others, especially in a large group.

My siblings and I want to thank you for the quality of services she continues to receive at Lilydale. The environment is warm, welcoming, fresh and clean. "Eddy" is a delight when she cleans the apartment each week. Whenever anything has needed repair or replacement attention, Ron has responded immediately. She has appreciated Emily's help in selecting meal choices. The meals provided variety and been tasteful, including exceptional desserts. The staff has treated Mom with respect and care. Sue and Pam have worked with us to develop plans to meet Mom's needs as they have changed. Sue has worked closely with Lilydale staff, Hospice staff and us to address concerns related to changing physical needs. It all has been greatly appreciated. Mom's favorite is Matt. It is obvious he cares about her. He is always respectful, helpful and goes above and beyond sharing his abundance of positive joy.

It is difficult to see Mom require more assistance with the activities of daily living, knowing she would rather be independent. We feel very fortunate that she is at Lilydale where there is a caring, supportive staff. Thank you!

Exquisite - that was the holiday party. The food was extraordinary but we know we have the best chef there is! It was so fun to see staff and their families. Thanks again for the wonderful event!

I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the care you and your staff gave mom and dad. I interview 9 places before I made my decision. I made the right one choosing Lilydale. So many dedicated people.

Dear Staff,

Thanks for all you do for the residents at Lilydale including my dad. You have created a warm and caring community and the residents benefit from that. I know it's hard to deal with elders who can be cranky due to their struggles but you do so with grace.

What a wonderful Holiday Open House! From the really delicious food to the entertainment and the loving care of our wonderful staff, your Holiday Open House was terrific. The consensus among those around me was that we are so fortunate to be here at Lilydale Senior Living.

Thanks so much for all your help so far with our move of Mom.

My mom says everyone who comes in to help take care of her is so nice! We appreciate you all! Thank you.

Compliment for Roxanne. Good worker.

Thank you, also, for your ongoing, high level of service that you provide! We are so grateful Mom is at Lilydale.

Love, love, love Diane. She is wonderful- All staff are so nice.

Thank you to the team who have taken such good care of me and my ear so it heals.

Thank you, I love you all!

We continue to be so grateful for the love, care and attention that is given to our parents at Lilydale. They could not have found a better place to come home to.
