Home for the elderly deserves better press
Piedmont Christian Home recently received some bad press from the News & Record. It is easy to criticize when you don't visit often or observe the care that the residents receive. I was there almost daily for six months. I have spent the night. All of the residents receive the same quality care that my husband received.
Yes, there were glitches, but they were handled speedily and professionally. I would challenge anyone to find any place where there are not some issues.
Where else could you find people who will transport your loved one to the hospital and sit in the emergency room with you until 12:30 at night? Where else could you find kitchen, housekeeping, medical and administrative staff who will stop by and visit and cry when they see the deterioration of one of their residents?
My husband got to the point he needed a lot more care. I didn't want to move him, but I was afraid that the level of care he needed would be too much for them. They stepped up to the plate and made it possible for me to keep him there at his home away from home.
Thanks be to God for The Home Place at Piedmont Christian Home.
