Emeritus at La Casa Grande Community Testimonials

My dad was very reluctant to go to an assisted living. He didn't want to give up his house and his way of life. It was the hardest decision I've ever had to make, sending him to live at Emeritus at La Casa Grande. After just a few weeks, my dad has made friends, he has attended parties, and has even gone out to eat with friends (this is a first since my mom died 15 years ago). My dad is now the life of the party. Now the hardest decision I ever made is the BEST decision I've ever made. Thank you.

My dad lived a very lonely solitare existance before going into Emeritus at La Casa Grande Assisted Living. My dad's life consisted of waking up, eating frozen meals, watching TV, and going to bed again. He only got out of the house to go to the doctor every three months. I was his only visitor and I only get to come to New Port Richey every 2 weeks. I was worried when my father's doctor told him it was time to check out an Assisted Living. My dad's nutrition and hygeiene were affecting his health. I knew that my father would not adjust to change or being around that many people. We checked out several Assisted Living facilities, but went to Emeritus at La Casa Grande at my father's doctor's recommendation. The grounds were beautiful, the rooms were bigger than others we had seen and the staff was helpful and informative. Within 3 weeks of living at Emeritus at La Casa Grande my dad is a different person...he is alive again. My dad comes to the dining room for every meal and visits with his table mates before and after meals. My dad goes out to eat with a group of friends from La Casa. My dad has even joined a walking club and walks with other people every night. His whole personality has changed and we have Emeritus at La Casa Grande to thank.
