If I could give Grand Living at Tower Place a galaxy of stars, I would.
As a daughter, entrusting your mother to someone else's care is one of the hardest things you'll ever do. Looking back now, I am overwhelmed with gratitude that my mom was able to spend the last years of her life at Grand Living. It wasn't just where she lived—it became her home, and the people there became our family.
The building itself is stunning. It feels more like a luxury cruise ship or an elegant Paris hotel than a memory care community. But as beautiful as it is, the people inside are what make it extraordinary.
Every single person treated my mother with dignity, kindness, patience, and genuine love. Their compassion went far beyond any job description.
I'll never forget Dennis from maintenance asking my mom, who was living with advanced dementia, if she would help him plant and water flowers. He patiently guided her through every step, making her feel needed and successful. It wasn't about planting flowers—it was about preserving her dignity and giving her joy. That is the kind of person Dennis is. During Mom's final days, his wife (a caregiver at GL) sat for hours with our family while hospice worked to keep Mom comfortable. That kind of compassion simply cannot be taught.
Angie and Lora were always there whenever we had a question or concern. They responded immediately, always with empathy, wisdom, and reassurance. They made us feel heard and supported every step of the way.
The caregivers loved my mom so sincerely that it was evident in every smile, every hug, every gentle interaction. One moment I'll treasure forever happened after my mom passed away late one evening. Janet came back to the community just to say goodbye to her. That speaks volumes about the relationships these caregivers build with the people they serve.
I could fill pages with stories of extraordinary kindness, laughter, compassion, and love. Grand Living didn't simply care for my mother—they cared for our entire family through one of life's most difficult journeys.
Although my mom is no longer here, I know I will continue finding reasons to visit because these incredible people have become part of my life. They are family now.
If you are searching for assisted living/memory care for someone you love, please know this: your loved one will be cared for with exceptional skill, unwavering compassion, and genuine love. There is no greater gift a family can receive.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Grand Living at Tower Place. We will be forever grateful.
