I visited Dirk van Allen and we had a great time. We shared past memories.

We moved my dad into Memory Care late December after caring for him at home became too difficult. It was an extremely difficult decision for us. He was well-cared for there and beyond that, loved by the incredible staff members. We visited almost every day and I can't tell you how many times I observed the staff telling the patients that they loved them. My dad passed after six months and the nursing staff did all the coordination for hospice care for us. The entire staff (from the reception to the Med Techs to the caregivers) truly cared for us and for him as he was dying. We were truly grateful for their support and love during the heart breaking end of Alzheimer's disease.
