I interviewed three residents that I’ve befriended since being employed at the facility. First, Nancy spoke to me about how she doesn’t really feel that moving into a nursing home abridged her sense of privacy or independence. She believes this is so because she had a large part in deciding when it was time to move and where she wanted to go. She mentions that this isn’t always the case for each resident at the home.

Although the costs of nursing homes seems to be consistently increasing, I believe that sacrificing my finances in exchange for care and companionship is well worth it. I admire how willing the residents are to meet new people and try new things despite their age (and sometimes limitations, mental or physical).

The excellent services and amenities are well worth the cost of residing there. The comfort, security, and confidence are often synonymous with how the residents feel about the nursing home. I can confidently state that Nazareth Living Center fulfil their core missions and values: sacredness, integrity, hospitality, and collaboration. I genuinely believe that the companionship and understand is mutual between all who have visited
