Clearwater Agritopia truly made this past Mother's Day magical for our family. After our amazing…read moremom suffered a hemorrhagic stroke on April 14th, she spent time in the hospital and then a rehabilitation facility. Following her release, both of our parents moved into Clearwater Agritopia Assisted Living. Our large family has always come together to celebrate Mother's Day at our parents' home, so this year we were unsure how we'd honor that tradition.
Clearwater Agritopia stepped in with incredible kindness and extra effort. Despite already hosting a large and elegant Mother's Day brunch for their residents, they graciously agreed to accommodate our entire family. Brian, the Culinary Director, extended the brunch hours and ensured there was enough delicious food for our group of 25. The food was phenomenal--from the prime rib to the "Marry Me Chicken," garlic lemon parmesan broccoli, candied carrots, mascarpone mashed potatoes, and a wide array of desserts. Everything was flavorful and cooked perfectly.
As someone with celiac disease, I was especially grateful that Brian took extra steps to make sure I could safely enjoy almost everything on the buffet. That kind of care and consideration meant the world to me.
For our event, we were given a large, beautifully arranged private dining room, allowing our entire family to sit together and honor our mother's strength and her ongoing recovery. It was a truly special moment for all of us, made possible by the extraordinary team at Clearwater.
I feel also need to add here that the Clearwater experience goes beyond just one day. In the weeks since my parents moved in, I've spoken with many residents, and every single one has shared how much they love living at Clearwater. Now, I understand why. Every staff member we've encountered--whether from dining, culinary, maintenance, housekeeping, healthcare, or administration--has been exceptionally kind, helpful, and professional.
The amenities are outstanding: restaurant-style dining, a movie theater, art studio, gym, cozy gathering spaces, and regular social activities. Most importantly, my parents are supported and safe, with consistent management of their medications and help available at the touch of a button.
Clearwater Agritopia has given our family peace of mind and a sense of home. They've created a warm, welcoming, and joyful environment where our parents can thrive--and for that, we are truly grateful.
