Blossom Grove Alzheimer’s Special Care Center

Steve Bishop

My review is regarding 2 administrative staff of Blossom Grove. First, is Susie the executive director. When I was searching for a place to put my aunt, I called 3 places and only Susie called me back. She was more than helpful in guiding me through the paperwork. She has answered or called me immediately back every time. She has been professional, courteous and friendly at all times. She is a great asset to Blossom Grove. Second, is Jeanette. She is the "face" of Blossom Grove as it us she that greets you as you walk in the door. Extremely pleasant friendly and helpful with any requests made. It is refreshing to interact with her. I can't speak highly enough about these 2 individuals that work for Blossom Grove

After a great deal of internal struggle the decision was made to place the love of my life in Blossom Grove Alzheimer's Special Care Center. Having recently retired as Head Chaplain for Loma Linda University Medical Center I was very familiar with "Excellence of Care" and what it looked like. It was my highest desire to find a place for my wife where this would be her experience. My family, friends, physicians, and health care workers I have taught with, all pointed me to Blossom Grove. I did my home work, checked out other possibilities and made my choice. I have never been more pleased at the care my wife is receiving, As a former administrator I was amazed at how well the staff functioned together while at the same time each one had a job to do and did it well. If I had questions about anything the staff made themselves available to me and others family caregivers. Blossom Grove staff seemed trained to take care of family members as well. The food is great and varied, hygiene of residents and their rooms are a priority. Medical needs are cared for promptly. Though all this is important what touches my heart the deepest is how many times residents are just loved. A warm smile, a gentle hug, or just hearing their name spoken by a caring staff. One day the time may come when it is my turn to need help. It is my prayer that Blossom Grove will have room for me. Jim

Blossom Grove is the other "happiest place on earth." The social model with a Montessori approach makes this an exceptional facility. Its not perfect but it is pretty darn close! The Director/leadership (Susie & team) are very clear about their desired positive environment and most of the staff are exceptional in understanding the dynamics of Alzheimers. My Mother has been there for about a month and she is H A P P Y and thriving here! She loves all of the interaction, activities and how much the residents and staff all show love and kindness towards one another. This is by far, one of the hardest times in my life but Blossom Grove has made it full of sunshine and reassurance.

My husband and I are conservator for a dear friend that he and his late wife knew for decades. Hattie was diagnosed w early onset dementia in her mid 60’s, and progressed fast. Hattie has been at Blossom Grove for over a year, all through this horrible pandemic, and the staff kept her safe and well cared for this entire time. We’ve found the team at Blossom Grove to be very loving and conscientious, and we continue to feel good about Hattie’s well being. Susie Halim, Executive Director knows her residents well, and seeks to develop relationships w family members, which we are very grateful for. We highly recommend Blossom Grove to those seeking personal , loving 24 hour care for their loved one suffering w Alzheimers/ Dementia.
