When elderly parents are no longer safe living independently in their own home, there is a problem. When elderly parents consider living with an adult child as an imposition, there is a problem simply because there is a feeling of intrusion which cannot be eradicated regardless of how sincere the welcome mat is. Often the suggestion of “live-in” assistance is perceived as an intrusion and loss of privacy. All of the aforementioned problems were successfully addressed when my parents took up residence at Sonoma Serenity Home for a period of two years. The caring staff and the companionship of others their age made my parents stay at Sonoma Serenity Home one of the best parts of their lives. I thank God that this community was there for my parents and my family. Only after they took up residence at Sonoma Serenity Home did their children realize the importance of a good night’s rest.
