Here
is just some of the positive feedback Rogerson Communities
has received from the family members of Rogerson residents
and program participants.
Helping
Family Caregivers
A few
years ago my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
Alzheimer’s has changed my dad from an independent,
happy-go-lucky guy to a confused man who needs assistance
in almost every aspect of his life.
I am
my dad’s primary caregiver. The idea of placing my dad
in an institution is unimaginable and something I do not view
as an option. Caring for an Alzheimer’s patient, however,
is phenomenally taxing and I knew that if I wanted to keep
him at home I would need help.
A few
years ago I found out about and enrolled my dad in the Adult
Day Care
program operated by Rogerson Communities. The program has
helped both of us. It has helped my dad by giving him a place
to go and allowing him to socialize with people of his generation
as well as providing him with disease-specific care and treatment.
It has helped me by allowing me to have time to myself without
having to worry about my dad’s care and safety.
When
I drop my dad off at the program, the staff at Rogerson Communities
greets him by name and treats him like the special person
that he is. The fact that the compassionate staff at Rogerson
chose caring for people with Alzheimer’s as a career
makes them special.
After
all that Rogerson has done for me and my dad I know that if
I were ever to become a man of means I would march right down
to their office and say “Thank you for looking after
my dad. Please use this money to help others who might be
in need.”
Thank
you very much for your attention.
