Why do we love ACCRV:
We have been friends with this organization for years as my Papaw (Wilbert O. Smith Sr.) was a participant. The time came that we needed to use the amazing services again for my Momma, Thelma to attend. What a godsend ACCRV is; the care she receives is wonderful. She is loved, and attended to in a manner that fits her needs, she is an Alzheimer/ dementia patient and needs regular interaction.
Activities are appropriate for her needs and communication skills. She receives meals and snacks that are served in a dining hall atmosphere where folks can choose to chat with each other or have a quiet meal. Momma is able to roam about the facility safely and in the garden area too. For our situation security is a must!
The staff and the nurses are incredible. I can't put it all into words at the love and attention to detail the folks at ACCRV have extended to us. We know them by name, and they know our names too. That is especially important as Momma is a very social person. This past Christmas the center did a secret Santa gift exchange and Momma received a doll (and some other lovely gifts). The staff went out of their way to send me pictures of her opening that gift and the love that My Momma has for that doll is untold. The special staff member that sat with her as she opened her gift and the one that sent the picture has no idea of how unbelievably deep that touched our hearts. The nursing care that the center provides is more than just surface care; it is relational. For that I will never be able to say thank you enough.
ACCRV you are truly a treasure!
Love and Blessings,
