Client Testimonials:
“Some of my most memorable and intimate moments with my father happened on the back patio at Celia’s. The setting and the care helped us both to relax and face what was happening, and speak about it.” – Janice, daughter “The genuine concern, compassion, connectedness, and love was wonderful. My mother was so respected and attended to. Even my brother and I felt special and loved. This is a phenomenal place with remarkable people. The staff made an extremely hard situation manageable. I don’t know how we would have survived otherwise.” -Karen, daughter "I was utterly astonished at the amazing care my friend received in her last weeks of life while she stayed at Celia's House. The house is clean, bright, and feels like a home. Yet the most valuable asset this home has to offer is its top-notch staff. They are kind, attentive, and empathetic individuals who genuinely care about their residents and take any means necessary to ensure their comfort." - Debbie "When we first heard my dad would be going on hospice, we were told that Celia‘s House was an amazing place, and we should check it out. My sister and I couldn’t believe how nice it was. As we drove up the driveway, we saw the grounds were exquisite. Inside, the first thing we noticed was it not only looked like a beautiful home, but it smelled like a normal home, not a care facility or hospital. We were so happy with the care my dad received and have absolutely no complaints. Not only was my dad very well taken care of, but our family was treated very well also. We were always kept well informed throughout the whole process. Additionally, the food is really good. They asked me what my dad enjoyed, and one of his favorites was strawberry shakes. He had many while he was there. They really listened. I highly recommend Celia's House." - Wendy |
