Thank You Caregivers

January 15, 2013 No comments yet


raymond“Raymond” tells the story of a maintenance worker at a nursing home and his relationship with a patient with Alzheimer’s disease.  She believes that the maintenance worker is her son, Raymond, who was killed in action in Vietnam in 1971.

You may or may not have seen this video or heard this song, but Raymond lives the Core Values of Azura Memory Care.  He is Exceptional and Respectful.  Take a few minutes to listen and watch it or listen and watch it again.  It is worth it.  http://www.bretteldredge.com/video/raymond

A heartfelt “thank you” goes to each member of our Azura Memory Care team and to all caregivers for doing what you do.  Every day you make a difference. YOU are a Raymond and for that we thank YOU!

Raymond by Brett Eldredge

I work down at Ashbury Hill
Minimum wage, but it pays the bills
Cleanin’  floors and leadin’ hymns on Sunday

Catherine Davis, room 3-0-3
Sweetest soul you ever could meet
I bring her morning coffee every day

She calls me Raymond
She thinks I’m her son
Tells me get washed up for  supper
‘Fore your daddy gets home
She goes on about the weather
How she  can’t believe it’s already 1941
She calls me Raymond
And that’s alright by  me

She talks about the clothes on the line in summer air
Christmas  morning and Thanksgiving prayer
And stories of a family that I never had
Well sometimes I find myself wishin’ I’d been there

When she calls me  Raymond
She thinks I’m her son
Tells me get washed up for supper
‘Fore  your daddy gets home
She goes on about the weather
How she can’t believe  it’s already 1943
She calls me Raymond
And that’s alright by me

There’s a small white cross in Arlington
Reads Raymond Davis, ’71
Until  she can see his face again
I’m gonna fill in the best I can

When she  calls me Raymond
She thinks I’m her son
Tells me get washed up for  supper
‘Fore your daddy gets home
She goes on about the weather
How she  can’t believe it’s already 1943
She calls me Raymond
And that’s alright by  me

She calls me Raymond
And that’s alright by me

My father has been here only a little over 2 months. The positive change in him has been DRAMATIC! I would HIGHLY recommend Azura........ I would give it 10 stars if they allowed it! This is the premier facility for any family member with cognitive issues! They do treat residents like family, believe it!

Azura memory care enhances the quality of life of each resident! Their activity department goes above and beyond to provide the perfect themes and topics geared to each residents specific likes. They do a wonderful job creating theme weeks and transitioning Azura with amazing decorations, to make them feel like they are their. One theme was France, they made a gondola had the residents and staff dress up and enjoy French cuisine. They really make your loved one feel special and included. Love seeing all the laughter and smiling faces:)

We want to thank you for the loving special care you took of our mother, Diane. It was truly mom's home and you all became part of our family. Everything was home for her....from the beautiful rooms, large sunny windows all around, good food made with love, fun and personal activities from people who really loved our mom. We would highly recommend your facility to anyone. The staff from the director, to the doctor, to the nurse, to the caregivers and the maintenance man were all extremely helpful, caring, loving and professional. There are not enough words to say how much we appreciate all of you. Your exceptional care, kindness, and love were beyond anything we could have imagined. You were part of our family, and we will miss you.

Just moved my sister-in-law to Azura Stoughton on February 12th. I feel like I’ve found a little piece of dementia heaven. The staff has gone way beyond my expectations to meet her needs and take time to know her. Anyone who has dementia deserves the TLC they receive at Azura. I’m so impressed.

Thank you to the Azura Memory Care team, Sheboygan location for the amazing, loving care they provided my dad. They truly loved and cared for my dad as if he was their own. It is such a warm, loving, family environment I only wish we would have moved my dad there years earlier!

I have enjoyed working with patients at Azura Care as a Physical Therapist Assistant. The staff has been very helpful in sharing important information about the patients to make their therapy sessions as productive as possible. They are open to learning techniques to help keep patients safe and improve their ability to perform daily tasks with less assistance. Their interactions with patients show caring and compassion with a focus on the needs of each individual to enjoy the best quality of life possible.

The journey of caregiving for my Aunt started over 4 years ago. It has been a very long difficult journey. It is hard to watch and frustrating to watch a loved one decline, as well as for them to live the decline. My Aunt found her final peace at Azura Memory Care in Sheboygan. It was not only her peace but mine as well. I no longer had to worry about her care as I could see that she was loved by her Azura family. She passed away on June 21 and they knew how important that it was for me to be there, but I also found peace that if I was not there, she was with family that loved her. No words can express the appreciation for the care, compassion and love that they have for all their residents. God has opened many doors through my journey and the doors at Azura were truly a gift from God. This family made a difference in a long journey. I will always have them in my thoughts and prayers. They are where and doing what they are meant to do!
