Kathy's Story:

"Mom was in an assisted living facility in Colorado, but she wasn't thriving at all. I knew she needed to be someplace better.

My mother-in-law transferred from Spring Valley [campus] to the Perry Lutheran Home [main campus] in December of 2015. When I came there to visit her, I just knew it was the perfect place for my own mom. I began working with the administrative staff, and mom moved into the Perry Lutheran Home [main campus] in January of 2016. It's the BEST decision we ever made for her! Having mom here is just a miracle... She's in a spacious, well-lighted room. It's been so wonderful to see her participating in so many activities now.

She went from living in a place that offered very little stimulation, to being involved in life again at the Perry Lutheran Home.

The nutritious meals have restored her health. She LOVES the chance to choose what she'd like to eat. I'm so pleased to see her strong and healthy again. I'm grateful for the excellent medical care at the Perry Lutheran Home. It gives both of us peace of mind to know there are high qualified staff to help mom.

The Perry Lutheran Home is an excellent place to live! It has a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. The fact that it also offers memory care is a bonus. The staff is outstanding. They make EVERY effort to provide wonderful care to the residents. The families are kept current on their loved one's care through very good communication from the care-giving staff. I am so pleased with my mom's new life at the Perry Lutheran Home.

She has just blossomed here! Thank you!"

Pete's Story:

"After meeting with the Spring Valley [campus] administration and head of nursing, we knew this was the Christian, clean, loving place we were looking for. After having dad here from a year, we have no regrets. We made the right decision.

After we visited the Perry Lutheran Home [Spring Valley campus], we did not consider any other facilities.

Perry Lutheran has allowed our family to know that our dad has a safe, clean, secure, and loving environment to live in. The Memory Care Unit does an outstanding job of providing exercise, classes, bus rides, excellent meals, social groups, and a great 5-to-1 nurse-to-resident ratio.

His quality of life really relieves our peace of mind.

My dad is 'happy as a lark' living at Spring Valley."
