Testimonials
"Having a parent with Alzheimers
can be quite a challenge." "Since my mother has been attending Bon
Vivant not only has it given her a much better quality of life, it
has also given the family peace of mind." "Bon Vivant is such a
fantastic alternative to a nursing home!" "She may not always
remember what she did the day, but she knows she had a good day.
Guess you could say she truly lives in the moment." "It is so
wonderful to see her proud of herself for some accomplishment of the
day. She feels useful and needed again. Everyone young and old needs
to feel needed." "Bon Vivant has given my mother a meaningful life,
she does not just exist until her time here is up."
- Janet,
Daughter of Doris, Member
"My dad came to
live with me a few months ago-quite unexpectedly-and still out of
the question to him." "After the first week with him I realized that
we could not be together "24/7". "One visit at Bon Vivant was all I
needed to make my decision." "This is the place for my dad. At my
house all he thinks about and all he wants to talk about is going
home. When he enters the door at Bon Vivant, He becomes a different
person. He's not lonely anymore." "I feel good about leaving him
there and I can go my way for the next six hours and do the things I
need and want to do. I thank God for Bon Vivant!"
- Claudine,
Daughter of Claude, Member
"I hear, in the lilt of her
voice and the enthusiasm with which she discusses the club and club
activities, how happy she is. and I have been amazed that in less
than a month , she is remembering things, even details, that seemed
beyond her...for some time." "Before she joined Bon Vivant, Mom was
depressed and lonely. She seemed to have lost interest in doing much
of anything." "During the past year it was getting harder to engage
Mon in conversation; she could not remember much of what she had
done or eaten recently, and she constantly berated herself as being
"stupid" because she was so forgetful." "She no longer sounds
depressed when I talk to her now; in fact she sounds in great
spirits, and once again has taken an interest in life." "I am
especially grateful that through the Club my Mom has gotten back her
self-respect and self-esteem."
- Jeanne, Daughter of Rita,
Member
"You have given back what I thought was lost: Her
self-esteem, her laughter, something positive to talk about, her
feeling happy & safe & loved. Before joining the club she
spent her days at home alone & she was sad &
lonely."
- Annette, daughter of Rita, Member
"We,
and the doctors that have cared for Mom (after her stroke),
attribute a large portion of her wonderful recover to the staff and
environment at Bon Vivant." "She has made some lasting friendships,
people who are just like her, people she has something in common
with."
- John, Son-in-law of Catherine, Member
