Testimonials
Here's what some of our residents are saying...

“I’ve been here since 1990 and I started in independent living. Eventually I came to them because I realized I needed some help. They’ve taken care of me when my needs have changed. I have so much to be thankful for here.”

-  Noreen C., resident for 16 years


“Someone put a sign up that said ‘Success is easier to come by when it’s attitude more than ability’ or something like that. That’s what I find is so nice around here. I really never knew the magnitude of a stroke, but there have been so many terrific people working here who’ve now helped me.”

-  Earl A., resident for 1 year


“I came here really hoping to find a place to work on my art paintings. There was a space across from where I lived and they converted it into a studio for me. I feel so good that I’m able to continue painting and I spend about three hours everyday doing it.”

-  Tom G., resident for 2 years


“There are so many things to do here everyday that it’s becoming hard to get others to volunteer.”

-  Jo C., resident and volunteer for 5 years


“My Mother has lived at three or four other communities and they were nothing like this. The staff knows everybody and there are activities on the calendar and they happen.”

-  Jeanne W., daughter of 1-year resident Marie S.


“A woman recently moved in here and said all the men here are gentlemen and they treat you with respect. She has been to three other communities, but never felt as good as she now feels here. That says a lot about living here.”

-  Fr. Dick E., resident for 2 years


“When the weather’s nice I play golf five days a week. I’m on the course by 6 a.m. and done by 9:30 or 10. That way, I still have my whole day ahead of me and there’s certainly a lot of entertaining things to do here.”

-  Richard R., resident for 1 year


“I like everything here.”

-  Anna P., resident for 1 year


“I enjoy the SeniorFITness program. It makes me feel wonderful.”

-  Peggy G., resident for 7 years


“What sets this community apart from others is having the chapel on the premises.”

-  Ann S., resident for 7 years


“My parents moved into the Villa apartments on the first day that they were open for occupancy, almost 15 years ago. I’m not sure where the credit goes for the consistently positive attitude of your staff. It could be the training by your supervisors or careful hiring. It is not just good luck.”

-  Sara T., family member


“I truly believe that every person that works at Addolorata Villa is a hand-picked person from God.”

-  Martha M., family member


“I feel the care my mother received at Addolorata Villa, both in assisted living and health care, was second to none. The staff was always courteous, professional and compassionate. I know my mother was difficult at times but they were always patient and handled every situation well. Because I knew my mother was in good hands, this helped give me peace of mind about her care. I would never hesitate to tell anyone to let their loved one stay at Addolorata Villa. I would like to give special thanks to Madelyn S. who helped me so much when I needed it. May God bless you all.”

-  George S., family member


“My mother, Lauretta R., was a resident for 11 years. A patient in the nursing home for less than a month, she passed away recently. I want to draw to your attention my appreciation for the wonderful nursing staff on the second floor. I visited my mother daily for at least two to three hours, so I had plenty of time to observe. Natasha, who went so far beyond her job description. (Presumably they all knew that mother was terminal.) Natasha not only did her job, but also gave my mother tremendous joy, love and care. She went that extra mile. The Sunday before she died, I came into the room to take her to Mass (Saturday had been a very bad day for her), looked at her and was amazed. She looked great; makeup, hairdo, etc., thanks to Natasha. What a wonderful person for my mother to spend her last days with. I also feel that Annie, Margaret and Kay did more than expected. They too showed my mother kindness, caring and excellent care. Mr. Carlson, you definitely have a nursing staff to be proud of. Thank them for making my mom’s last month as good as it could be.”

-  Marilyn B., family member


“My brother and I would like to thank everyone for the love and care mom received at the Villa. It was very much appreciated.”

-  Bob and Jim M., family members


I’m content as is my family who is happy that I’m well taken care of. Yes, they are wonderful here and I’m very happy with them."

-  Marion B., resident for 4 years


"It’s good for your brain to learn something new and that’s why I continue to use the computer and teach others how to use it."

-  Rose D., resident for 4 years


"The other people in assisted living are great. We help each other here and the attitude is great!"

-  Rose D., resident for 4 years


"My daughter’s first impression was that it was so great, she said if she ever grows old then this is where she would want to go."

-  Marie S., resident for 2 years


"I can’t find anything to dislike here. It’s a nice home really. It’s so nice to only walk down the hall to go to church."

-  Irma P., resident for 5 years


"I’ve gotten a lot more comfortable here lately. I have a bad leg and people are very nice here and they’re helping get my leg better."

-  Eileen L., resident for 1 years
