In the early 1990s, Jack Lewiss wife Patti developed Alzheimers
Disease. He looked at
42 places and couldnt find one that had the loving care he desired
for Patti. So he decided to do it himself and created the Patti Lewis
Care Home.
Jack realized
early on that providing the basics of care-giving, giving compassionate
and respectful care, and dealing with the uncharacteristic behaviors
was only part of the caregiver experience. Just as important was
being aware that being a caregiver to a person with dementia is,
privileged and rewarding.
This is the
concept of Personhoodunderstanding that a person with dementia
can still
give back and make a contributionand that the caregiver not
only gives, but receives.
Following Jacks
tradition, we only hire specially selected caregivers who truly
love caring
for people. Then we train them how to give professional care with
compassion.
Vibrant Life
Communities began managing the Patti Lewis Care Home in 2009 and
weve grown into a professional senior living community, but
we have retained the spirit of Jack
and Patti Lewis.
So come visit
us at the Patti Lewis Care Home... so you dont have to make
42 trips looking for the right place for your mom or dad.
