Seniors Residence - Team Players

I know it has been a while since my last blog, but time flies when you are inundated with"to do's" from every angle. My father was finally discharged from the hospital, looking worse than ever, but each test lead to the same conclusion - nothing else could be done for him at this time. Returning him to his new home, Clock Tower Inn Seniors Residence, lifted the weights off my shoulders. This is a place my father truly calls 'home'. The gracious and caring staff; the great food, the convenient location and the comradary has resurrected this once somber man.
I can honestly say the staff has proven their capabilities and compassion over and over again. They never miss a step and genuinly care about the well being of the residents.
As the saying goes, ' the fastest way to a man's heart is through his stomach', and the chefs at Clock Tower are wonderful cooks. I have never seen an older adult put on so much weight in such little time as my father has. But he eats plenty and enjoys the meals. What more can one say??
Being on Main Street definitely has its benefits for a blind man. It only takes minutes to stroll to Ferry Lake and any quaint stores one would need at his age. But most importantly, his new found friends bring joy and laughter to his days in darkness.
This seniors residence has removed the stressors involved with caring for an aging parent and provides me precious time for my children and a career I have a passion for. Thank You Clock Tower.
For a side note: Please pray for the people in Haiti and if called to help, in any way, please do.

  1. People always find it difficult to search for senior homes and specially how to assist your elder to live a comfortable life.
