From our Melody Living Founder
Early in 2014, my 99-year-old father, Nick, asked me to please not have a party for him on his 100th birthday. Apparently his friend, who was also approaching 100 years of age, was given a party by his family and he passed away some months later.
I obliged him in his request but negotiated for just a small family dinner to which he agreed.
That plan however did not stop his progressive physical decline over the following year, although his mind remained very sharp. The family needed to select a senior housing facility and picked the best one that we could find.
The staff at that facility tried to do a good job but they were just not equipped to provide him with the care, atmosphere, and personal satisfaction that he was accustomed to in his home.
The inability to provide top level care was amplified by his sharp mind and excellent memory.
It was at this point that I decided that there had to be a better way to care for our loved ones, at a reasonable cost, in their later years. I decided to conceptualize a completely different approach to senior housing….loved ones first!
My father passed away later that year but my experience with him guided me, and continues to set the tone, for our program at Melody Living.
I believe that Melody Living provides a facility with the care, culture, programing, and atmosphere that my father would have liked and enjoyed.
I invite you to be the judge.
