When I was preparing to move to the Residency in 2018, I was asked, “Why are you moving to Scottsbluff, when you’ve lived in Colorado your entire life?” At the time, I was looking for a life-care facility that I could afford and wouldn’t have to relocate numerous times. I had researched the Denver area and the front range, but nothing was satisfactory or affordable. It was suggested I try Scottsbluff, so I got out the map, charted my route to Scottsbluff, and called my niece in Gering to help me find a home. The first place we visited was the Residency. Not only was I pleased with the appearance of the facility, both interior and exterior, but their philosophy for the concept of Life Care was a major selling point. The buy-in was costly, but it was an investment into my future. More importantly, in the long run, it was the most cost effective choice for me, considering the ever-increasing expense of nursing home care. In addition, since I had no family members to assume the role in decision making for my future long-term care, it was reassuring to learn a team of members from Healthcare and Management would recommend the necessary change in residency status according to my needs. And so, what do I like about the Residency? The list is long, but the most important is the sense of family and community. Yes, the amenities are a plus, and knowing you belong to a very special group who care about your welfare, is priceless. In summary, I am grateful to the little voice that told me to go to Scottsbluff, and I’m proud to have found a home with loving, caring people.
