My brother who contacted Alzheimer's in his 50's and was being difficult was being evicted from his…read moreassisted living facility in VA. The eviction turned out to be a scam but in looking for a new residence and having extreme difficulty in VA, I looked into facilities in WV. A Place for Mom who works with Home Away From Home did not help me with WV facilities and told me there were none. I reached out indirectly to David Bolyard who owns Home Away From Home. David and Jennifer Adkins, Director at Home Away From Home, took my brother in sight unseen. I was immediately won over when the first meal he received was in a plastic compartmentalized tray (my brother dislikes his food touching each other). That was a year ago and I have not regarded his being moved to WV (even though it is a 4 hour drive). During the past year there have been a few outbreaks with my brother that have required his being send out for additional care. But I have never had to worry about looking for another facility. Conversely, Jennifer Adkins has personally gone to the hospitals and checked on their care of my brother and called me with any concerns. Her staff is excellent!! My brother walks around and takes the staff food which they willingly share with him because it means he is eating. I witnessed another patron trying to leave and became aggressive with the staff member who was trying to persuade him back inside. He pushed her down and once she got up she made sure he was OK before going to the doctor herself. Then returned to her duties after seeing the doctor. There was no negativity toward the male patient but only compassion and concern. Physically, Home Away from Home is well kept, clean and orderly. It is decorated for comfort rather than to impress. The food is homey and delicious not gourmet fusion. The staff knows everyone's name and work to understand their desires and needs. They work well with the patrons' families as well. They have accommodated every request I have made of them. I cannot highly enough praise David, Jennifer and the staff at Home Away from Home.
