Client Testimonials
“Grace Home has been an exceptional find for our family. Grace has been an extension of home, with attentive care and support that made the complex burdens manageable. We learned that Jennifer had built Grace Home to care for her parents. This high standard shows in the quality and details of the home and Jennifer's thoughtful approach. In our frequent visits prior to pandemic, Grace Home was always a warm welcome.
Jennifer and her staff have provided not only care but support and advocacy for my father’s well-being. Jennifer runs Grace Home with great personal commitment. This commitment to care and advocacy has been more than we would have hoped for and much more than we’d experienced elsewhere. This includes attention to health and nutrition and the safety of the residents as individuals. Frequently participating in calls with my fathers physicians, Jennifer often highlighted with me where she saw issues with treatment and how we might find better care for my father from our providers. Jennifer was thoughtful to adjust menus to accommodate my father’s favorite foods, celebrate holidays, and meet the evolving needs. Fresh fruit, healthy salads, freshly prepared foods at every meal… my father hasn’t had such a healthy diet in years, and it shows in his overall health. Prior to pandemic, we would visit frequently, enjoying time both inside and in the yard with our family. While the pandemic has been a huge disruption to life and a significant disruption to healthcare and visitations, Jennifer again stepped up and has been very thoughtful. She and her staff encouraged my father and actively supported his continuation of the exercises prescribed. Jennifer finds creative ways to visit, even if virtual.
Jennifer has provided thoughtful care in all aspects for my father. Grace Home itself is an extension of this. I would not hesitate to recommend Grace Home. The level of attention and caring shown to my father has brought comfort and confidence beyond our expectations.”

“My mother moved to Grace Home Athena on April 1, just as the COVID shutdown started. It was a challenge for me to not be able to help her settle-in or follow-up with visits to gauge how well she was adjusting. I was reassured by knowing that I had chosen Jennifer’s home because I trust her and her staff. Jennifer and her residence were recommended by an elder care professional in the Valley who I’ve worked with for three years and highly respect. My mother’s hospice nurses and social workers have also given praise for the care that Jennifer provides.
For someone who can no longer be cared for at home, there is no better place for elder care than a well-run RCFE. Grace Home Athena is beautiful, clean, spacious, comfortable and includes improvements to ensure safe care of the residents. Jennifer and her staff are caring and compassionate, providing assistance with daily, personal, and hygiene care. In the home setting they’re able to adjust to personal preferences regarding meals and socializing. In this challenging time, Jennifer keeps me updated on my mom’s physical and mental state. There’s no better gift than to know that my mom is receiving excellent care and not be burdened with the daily concern that can come.”

“Grace Home Athena and Jennifer are a great blessing in our life. My husband's elderly mom sadly has Alzheimer's. We had been taking care of her in our home for three years but she became too much for us to handle. We were referred to Jennifer by a trusted source. I immediately liked Jennifer — very honest and caring. She agreed to take mom and we are very grateful. We know she is in a happy, caring and safe environment. Thank you for what you do Jennifer and all your staff at Grace Home Athena.”

“When it came time for our family to find a care home for my great aunt it was not an easy task, but we were so thankful when we discovered Grace Home Athena. Jennifer’s kind heart and genuine concern for the well being of my great aunt was evident from the very first moment we spoke. She patiently worked with us to facilitate my great aunt’s move during a pandemic, gave our family detailed updates often, responded to all of our concerns with compassion, and sent heartwarming pictures of my great aunt. Due to COVID restrictions, we were unable to be there in person to help my great aunt transition into her new home. But Jennifer went above and beyond to ensure my great aunt felt safe and loved. Knowing that our loved one is well cared for and part of a loving home provides so much comfort to our family during this difficult phase of my great aunt’s life. We are so thankful for Jennifer and all of the caretakers at Grace Home!”

“I have sent many families to Grace Home Athena, and the feedback I receive is nothing short of outstanding, and all of the families are extremely grateful. Jennifer and her staff make a difficult time a little less complex and a whole lot more loving. They truly love and care for their residents. It's a very special place.
