After taking care at home for our parents ten years plus, with the advance of dementia, we were forced to find another path. Our family, Nine living children (one deceased), the parents and siblings were all afraid of what the future would bring. As a couple in their late 90s one will always be more needy than the other. That was our family case and probably the hardest hurdle. Our path fell into the caring, loving hands of John Clarke Retirement Center. The head social worker/nurse (Tara and Dru) and staff - after a long assimilation time, worked with our family. They learned our parents’ struggles/obstacles and we witnessed their fortitude and dedication to help us accommodate the parents' ever-changing needs. If in one phrase if I could compliment the people at JC it would be: They rolled with the changes, the uncertainty of the dementia brain, they held/embraced the sad and the laughing siblings, they supported us nonstop and put up with our parents’ oddities (including daily private dog visits). The Staff at JC - on all echelons - they got our parents and despite their tight schedules they became family to them. The sad part is that now our parents are deceased - sadder is missing that wave, that smile, that hug from the JC family in the hallways. They have become family in our hearts and our parents, and we will never forget their kindness and support when we were all so very weak and scared to follow the path that we were set on.

The food is delicious, and employees are wonderful!!

They are fantastic here-not one of them all of them! I am back to driving and walking and could not have done this without them. I come back all the time to visit-these are my people.

I had two major medical issues and received my rehab at John Clarke. I feel like I got a second chance at life and am doing better than ever. I cannot thank the team there enough for the wonderful care and rehab.

I have nothing but happy memories about my 11 days there. I was unable to move on arrival and was walking independently with a walker at discharge. A+!

A big thanks to you and your crew for a great Thanksgiving experience; I don't know how you all do it so cheerfully year after year! You sure made it easy for Maureen Baker's family to have a stress-free 3-generation dinner. Randy and Denise took special care of us in the sunroom during the meal, then Sky did a family photo shoot afterwards. Somehow she managed to catch all of us at our best! (Please tell Pam my mom's hair looked awesome!) Thanks again for helping us make happy memories.
