I felt that I needed to write a letter of thanks to you all.  I am Jule’s friend and I am so thankful to you for the wonderful care that she received at Casa Buenavante.  The home is beautiful and comfortable and the caregivers were great!  I am a hospice nurse and would highly recommend your home to other families who need placement outside of their home or facility.  Jule was a very special lady and friend to me.  She was ready to leave this earth and I am thankful that she had such great care at the end.  Thank you and bless you all for what you do.

Finding Sweetwater Place solved a problem we had with the care of our elderly mother who was in the early stages of Alzheimer’s.  She had been in an assisted living facility in New York State for a few years but I did not think she was adequately cared for.  When I learned about the Colten facilities I was able to convince my sister that moving our mother to Arizona would be in her best interests. 

My mother has been a resident for Sweetwater Place for 3.5 years.  The care she receives is fantastic: she is always clean, her room is always clean and she is probably eating better than she has in years!  The activities are great too.  The caregivers even play gin-rummy or scrabble with her, sometimes till late at night.  She doesn't remember what she just, did but she can sure beat you at a card game or even scrabble.  I absolutely believe that my mother would either not be with us any longer, or would be much poorer physically and emotionally if we had let her remain where she was.
