Some people jokingly refer to the University of Notre Dame as Catholic Disneyland. On Sundays,…read morethere are literally dozens of places on campus to go to Mass; every dorm has its own chapel; there are more priests walking around in their black suits than you've seen since the early 1980s, and all the famous campus landmarks associated with football (Touchdown Jesus, Fair Catch Corby, First Down Moses) are actually pieces of religious art. Well, if Notre Dame is Catholic Disneyland, then Santa Teresita is Catholic Disneyland for old folks. No, there aren't dozens of chapels on its little campus, but you can't visit without seeing at least one or two Carmelite nuns in their traditional habits (all-white habits if they're doing medical work), and although I've only visited four or five times, I've met at least two different priests here, and I never came for Mass or any other religious service. The religious who work and volunteer here simply love spending time with the residents, and it shows. I know about Santa Teresita because my then 100-year-old great aunt moved in for a month when her full-time caregiver was on vacation. My very religious aunt loved the setting, the nuns and priests, and especially the staff members. She couldn't say enough about how well everyone treated her, and even though she was determined to live out her days in her own home, she admitted that Santa Teresita wouldn't be a bad place to be if she needed to live here. That might not sound like a glowing endorsement, but coming from my aunt, who never would have dreamed of leaving her house, it was an encouraging sign of openness. Not long after her 102nd birthday, my aunt's caregiver retired, and my aunt moved in to Santa Teresita permanently. This time, she had a room on the second floor, close to the elevator, and I visited her five or six times. My mom was largely in charge of finances and making sure she had everything she needed, and my aunt was always telling my mom to bring chocolates and other little things to give to the staff members and the nuns. My aunt really took to and loved the people who worked here, and when I met the employees and volunteers when I would come to pick her up or bring her back, I could tell they took their jobs seriously and truly enjoyed my aunt's company. The grounds are lovely. All the residents live in two cottages separated by a cute courtyard. I've only been inside the newer cottage, but they both look very nice from outside. If you toured my aunt's cottage while no one was there, you would have no idea that this is an old-age home. It feels more like a modern apartment complex with many large, inviting common areas. When we would bring my aunt back to Santa Teresita at night after some social event, there were always at least a few people in one of the main shared areas watching a movie on the TV. In addition to residents, staff members and priests would sometimes be there, but it felt totally natural, as if friends were just watching a movie together. I don't know many of the specifics, but I know that Santa Teresita offers various group activities for the residents, including field trips and on-site parties. At last year's Halloween party, my aunt won an award for having the best costume. Administratively, my mom dealt mostly with Sister Carmen, whom I only met once but who plays a big part in my whole family's estimation of Santa Teresita. She's a high-energy crackerjack marked by her deep commitment to her residents and making sure everything is running properly. My aunt's needs changed over the time she was at Santa Teresita, and Sister Carmen was always patient with and helpful to my mom in terms of assessing and changing levels of care. My aunt passed away peacefully in her sleep at Santa Teresita this past February. She was 102-years-old and had lived a full, enchanted kind of life. At her funeral, I got to meet Sister Carmen and some of the other employees and volunteers who cared for my aunt. She had left a deep impression on them, and despite the fact that the funeral was very far away from Duarte, a lot of people from Santa Teresita came to pay their respects. They also had a separate memorial service for my aunt at Santa Teresita. Rehabilitation and old-age homes can and often do feel so depressing. Nothing at Santa Teresita ever felt that way. From the setting itself to the employees and volunteers, there was always a sense of goodwill and companionship.

It happened twice, both involving major, serious appointments that took over a month to get scheduled. The delay was not because of the scheduling department, it was because she did not complete the required paperwork so they could schedule the appointments. Maybe if everything had been handled in a timely manner, the outcome would have been different. I'll never know. Save yourself the questioning, the headaches, and the heartbreak.

So disappointed in this facility. Brookdale facilities have an excellent reputation, which is why…read morewe choose this local facility for our mom. When Mom's health recently declined, BD staff nurse visited Mom in the hospital, and assessed Mom to determine if she could continue living there. The cost wasn't an issue. We just wanted Mom to be in safe place that could provide the care she needs. Three MD's had previously determined and documented that Mom needed to be in skilled nursing home or private board and care home. However, the BD staff nurse determined that BD could provide sufficient additional services including on-call aides to facilitate toileting, transferring, dressing and eating for additional fees amounting to additional 60% each month. This decision / assessment was supported by the exec director. We did not want to relocate Mom if BD could live up to their commitment to provide the on-call services, as BD was 'home' for Mom. BD proved to me on multiple occasions that they could not provide the level of care Mom needed at this stage in her life. In just one example, I personally pressed the call-button for assistance to move Mom to the commode in her bedroom. And after waiting 30 minutes, I telephoned the desk to escalate the request for assistance. We waited another 10 minutes for aides to arrive. Imagine waiting 40 minutes to urinate after you have sounded the alarm, and picture how upset you would be. Now, imagine that you are 93 years old and you can't get out of bed to move to a toilet that is a couple of feet away from you. Imagine your hysteria, and multiply that by dementia. This is where the story goes from unforgettable to unforgivable. Our family determined that BD was no longer a suitable place for Mom to live. Telling Mom was heartbreaking. We asked BD exec staff to support our family decision to relocate Mom. Instead, the nurse and exec director contradicted what we had told her and in conversation with her while I was personally present, they held to their opinion that they could care for her. This made the transition many times worse than it would have been if they had supported us. Mom loved the day-to-day staff at BD. She especially loved Gail at the main desk. Mom never in 3 years had a positive word to say about the food, and Mom is not a picky eater. In the years that Mom lived there, I found every regular employee to be friendly, kind and polite.
