I am very grateful for The Meadows of Prescott Valley. I moved my dying husband Sam there while he was on hospice when I determined that I could no longer care for him at home and ensure his well-being. During Sam's month-long residency, owner/managers Ross and Christine and their team of loving caregivers treated Sam beautifully, with the utmost compassion and respect. He was always clean, comfortable and well attended to. I know because I was there twice a day every day during Sam's residency. Meals were often made from scratch, and breakfast was always a short-order affair offering anything the resident wanted or needed. Meals were routinely offered to me, as well! Honestly, I loved being at The Meadows with Sam, getting to know the caregivers, and ultimately feeling like we were all family. When Sam passed away, Ross and Christine couldn't be there due to an important prior commitment. So they sent their sons to the home to comfort me, and made sure the hospice nurse and chaplain, both of whom I'd come to know well, were just a few minutes behind. What's more, a young caregiver who I especially liked came to the home after hearing that Sam had passed away, even though it was her day off. She called later that day, and the next, to see how I was doing. Christine also called to check on me and to apologize for not being able to be there when Sam passed. When I went there the next day to pick up the last of Sam's belongings, flowers were waiting for me from Ross, Christine, their children and the caregivers. No wonder The Meadows comes so highly recommended by Maggie's Hospice and others. Under the worst of circumstances, and at the most awful time of my life, The Meadows was a blessing and more.
