Written Testimonials
“I am the daughter of two residents. My Mom lives on the Belfair Gardens side, while my Dad lives on the Riverside at Belfair side. They have been married for 64 years and their love story is like the movie “the Notebook.” They are inseparable. After my mother’s stroke in February of 2009, she developed vascular dementia. Besides the physical limitations of weakness on her left side, we were now also dealing with her memory loss and confusion. My Dad, now 88, tried desperately to keep her at home and take care of her but it was just too difficult physically, emotionally and financially. It was taking its toll on me as well, as I was the daughter who lived locally and was called upon all hours of the day and night. I have a full time job and a husband with MS myself to take care of. We moved Mom to a facility that was close to where they lived but it was not capable of offering us the care we needed for Mom’s condition or Dad’s need to be near her.
It was when we finally realized that Mom needed more than assisted living but less than skilled nursing that we discovered that Belfair Gardens was being developed. It was right in my backyard literally 2 minutes door to door. In late fall of 2010, we went for a tour and immediately fell in love with the concept, Lara, her staff and the layout of the place, and to make it even more perfect, Lara understood. She understood the need for my parents not to be separated. What made it even more perfect was that Dad could also get an apartment right outside of the double doors leading to Belfair Gardens so he could have access to Mom whenever he needed. We moved them in December of 2010, Mom was Belfair Garden’s first resident. We immediately adopted the staff as part of our own family, they are truly the most caring and compassionate group of individuals and I feel very comfortable leaving my loved ones in their care. They truly listen to any and all concerns we as the family have and do their best to make it right. Like Lara is always saying: ”it is all about the residents and what is best for them.” She has truly made a beautiful, loving environment for them to spend their last days together and we are constantly creating lovely new memories, many laughs and lots of hugs.”

My mom moved to Belfair Gardens March 9, 2011 after living in another assisted living facility that proved to be a nightmare for my mother as well as for myself. So when my husband and I started looking to move my mom, we saw an ad for Belfair Gardens Open House. We decided to stop in for a tour. We were very impressed by the beautiful apartment, wonderful menu and the many activities that would keep my mom’s mind as well as her body active. We were surprised to find out that the rent was one set fee and included everything from dispensing meds to helping her with dressing, bathing etc. At mom’s previous assisted living facility she was re-assessed every six weeks and if she needed additional care there would be a raise in her rent. We moved mom to Belfair Gardens five months ago and she has enjoyed a much better quality of life living there. She stays active by exercising every day, participating in the many games that are offered, Bible Study, Baking Club and looks forward to the Monday morning outings on the bus. Mom and I attended a wonderful Mother/Daughter Luncheon that not only included gourmet quiche, fresh fruit, homemade waffles and bacon, but there was also a musician on guitar that sang for us. The whole staff, including the Director as well as the Owners, was there to cook and serve us. This place has been a "God Send" for my mom as well as for me. The staff is very caring and loving. "Just like family" They know all the residents by name and treat them with dignity. I have never once worried about my moms safety since she has moved into Belfair Gardens, which has freed me up to go on vacation or if I become ill I'm not frantically trying to find someone to go check on her like I was in the past before she moved here. I can't thank the staff enough for all the care they have given my mom. They are a "True Blessing" to my mom and to me.
