Tranquility Personal Care Home

We had my sister at Tranquility Personal Care Home before she passed away in March. They had absolutely no activities there, but on the other hand, it always smelled good, my sister was always clean, and they fed her well, so I guess you just can't have everything. The staff was very good. I ate there several times, and everything's homemade in the kitchen. Usually lunch is the light meal and dinner is the big meal. Everything was fabulous. The place was clean; I never went in and smelled urine. She was in diapers, but they kept her very clean, and she never smelled, so they took really good care of her. They didn't have activities but I don't think it would have made a difference one way or the other if they had activities or not because the residents had advanced dementia and just want to sleep all day. At first, when she got there, I didn't like the idea that there weren't any activities because they would basically just bathe the people and put them in a chair. They took excellent care of her, were very sweet to her, and treated her well.

I would recommend Tranquility. It's a nice place, and the people running it are really nice. It has excellent food; you'd think you're sitting down at your table at home. They're all really great people over there. I went over there one day and watched them cook. They have the kitchen right there, and the owners are the cooks. It's a small place, family-run with good ol' Southern cooking. It's really good food, and they fix it just like you'd fix it at your house.

The Staff really cares about the individual patients. Sometimes they are staffed thinly. They are having difficulty with a 6 foot 200 pound man with a bad back, out of bed. Most of the residents are given a change location with a move to the TV room on a daily basis. Small things, straws to a cup and cable TV control seems to take a couple of days to come back to the room. The food is cooked onsite and in the kitchen. There are snacks available. His boo boos are well taken care of; and the dressing are changed regularly.

When my brother and I visited, I had great feelings about the place. Then we met another of the staff members and I knew it was the place for d a d! The owners have always remained accommodating and open to our needs and encourage use to be in contact at any time as dad's needs change and evolve. Many of the staff members treat dad as if he were family and really take good care of him. I can't imagine what we would have done had we not been led to Tranquility!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Cindy.

This place is an answer from God! I feel so fortunate to have found it. My 90 year old mother has lived there approximately 3 months and has found happiness! Prior to that she wanted to die and never smiled or laughed. She has had a total transformation and the reason why is that at Tranquility they hire people who are caring and loving and not just taking the job to have a job. They are so good to my Mother (and me)---we feel like they are now part of our family. I couldn't be happier! The thing that makes this place successful is everyone from the top down share the vision and buy into it. Secondly, they care----simply said, but very true!
