Thank you Mesa Vista Inn, you brought my mom back to me, by caring for her needs and nursing her back to health, with restorative measures and genuine care and concern for her!\r
\r
My mom has dementia and will never recover.\r
\r
She was at another nursing home since 2010 and was not being cared for, nor fed properly, and would constantly get UTI's (urinary tract infections) mainly because, she was not being offered hydration. \r
The leadership there was poor.\r
To me dementia/alzheimers is ""this"" century's disease. There are alot of nursing homes that don't have a clue about how to care for dementia/alzheimers patients, but Mesa Vista does! They are well informed and well trained in this area!\r
The nursing home staff, at the ""other"" facility my mother was at in the 09 zip code of San Antonio was clueless about dementia and the behavior of people who have it. \r
You can put water, food, etc. in front of people who have dementia, but they won't necessarily feed or hydrate themselves, which will result in dehydration/ malnutrition, and eventually hospitalization and and even death. My mother was hospitalized with those very issues and was near death twice. I am so very sorry that I left her there that long, I trusted the wrong people not realizing that the ""09"" nursing staff/leadership/social worker were all substandard. They almost killed my mom, who is 91.\r
My mom would be given disgusting food, that I would not feed to my dog. \r
\r
Finding Mesa Vista was the best thing that ever happened to my family. She is being well taken care of. The food is delicious, even pureed. Because I tasted it. They have health snacks, bedside water receptacles. They are clean. They have activities that ""everyone"" can participate in. They find a way to give medication to patients, instead of giving up and not trying.\r
I can't imagine what others have written on here! \r
Trust me, Mesa Vista is amazing!\r
\r
No one wants to be in a nursing home when it's their time, \r
but I guarantee that Mesa Vista is wonderful! Go check it out, you will see!\r
\r
Thanks again, everyone at Mesa Vista Inn. I can sleep peacefully at night knowing that my mom is being well taken care of!!!!
