Coming here has given me a life. The healthcare I get here is exceptional because the staff at ArchCare is a team; everyone pitches in. There are times when I come in when I feel the world is crashing in on me, and no matter if I’m feeling good or feeling bad, no matter what mood I’m in, when I’m at ArchCare, there is always someone I can talk to. They listen.

I was so surprised when Susan arrived at my room to find out how I was making out after a fall. She was very interested in me. I was really overcome by the way she was so thorough in all that she did. Without ArchCare, I would be more concerned about my health.

My grandmother just feels better about everything now. She’s more motivated to do things like tend to her plants to keep herself occupied. She is much happier now with ArchCare.

On Sunday, I was dancing at my granddaughter’s Communion. The next morning I woke up and I couldn’t move. I had a stroke.

At Carmel Richmond, they worked with me, day after day after day. They pushed me. They got me walking.

One day the therapist said, “Give me your hand.” I gave her my hand. She said, “Give me your other hand.” I gave her my other hand. And without even realizing it, I was dancing again.

ArchCare has given me a second life.
