Amber was wonderful during a very difficult situation for our family. Her kindness, caring nature, and compassion meant more than I can express. While exploring care options for my father, I felt heard, supported, and treated with understanding and respect. When you’re overwhelmed and worried about someone you love, having someone respond with such warmth makes a tremendous difference. Thank you, Amber, for your patience and compassion. We are truly grateful.

This is what Western Slopes is all about. 😊 If you are online right now looking for a place for your mom, your dad, your loved one — or for yourself — let me show you what this place is. 🙏 This is me, with my daughter and my two beautiful grandkids, at our Halloween Festival here at Western Slopes. 😇 This is not just a facility. This is family. This is home. This is a place where you can still make memories. 💖 When you walk in the door, you feel it right away. It starts with Anna at the front. Anna wears many hats — she greets everyone, she helps, she fixes, she guides — and she does it all with love and smiles. She even bakes us cookies. That is the first love you feel here. This is a place that works. Our maintenance team keeps everything running, and they are there the moment you need them. This is a place that cares. Our CNAs, our nurses, our doctors, and our nurse practitioner watch over us with faithful, tender care. And at night, our night staff are angels in the quiet hours — checking on us, making sure we are okay, helping us with patience and dignity. This is a place that LIVES. Our Activities Coordinator is D, and she has wonderful assistants — Mary and Galinda, and one more helper whose name I am sorry I don’t remember right now. They bring us concerts, bingo, arts and crafts, painting, Halloween projects, and so much more. They bring out the talent in our residents here. They keep us entertained, they keep us active, they keep us enjoying life. And I know, because I have lived it — they have comforted me, helped me when I needed help, even helped me set things up electronically. This is a place that takes care of the little things. Rosa in laundry — fabulous. She picks up our clothes and makes sure we get them back, with love. This is a place where the food is good. I hear stories from friends in other facilities, but here, we are blessed. The man in charge comes out, asks how we are, listens, makes adjustments. He cares. This is a place that takes you where you need to go. Our driver Don just retired, and we are really going to miss him. He drove us to our doctors, there and back. He drove all the way to Reno and back, and it felt like five minutes because of the conversation we had with him. Everyone loved Don. We bless his retirement, and his trip to see his daughter in London, England. Don, you were awesome. And none of this would be possible without Devon, our administrator. Devon and his smile and his greeting always make us feel like we’re special. He is active, he asks questions, he has real conversations with us. Devon took this picture of me and my family. He captured a memory for us. I am here because God put me here. I have friends who have worried about me and prayed for me. I have a church family praying for me without stopping. And I feel God’s love here every day. So if you are looking — come see Western Slopes. This is what it’s all about. > “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His mercy endures forever.” — Psalm 107:1 God bless you all. –

To the administration and staff of western slope, I want to officially commend the coordinator and staff for the outstanding success of the recent Halloween festival. My family came from Sacramento to visit, and it was exceptionally well — run and joyful event for residence And guess alike. From a logistical standpoint, the event was flawless: Entertainment: High — quality attractions including a train ride, a bounce house, and a live band playing on excellent mix of country — western and Contemporary music. Food and hospitality: a great Spread Of cotton candy, nachos, soft drinks, hot , nachos, soft drinks, hot chocolate,, nachos, soft drinks, hot chocolate, and excellent chili with cheese and onions. Facilities: the grounds We’re perfectly clean, trash RECEPTACLES were highly accessible, and there was On abundance of sitting and tables for the large crowd. Staffing: Volunteers and coordinators were everywhere, ensuring no question when Volunteers and coordinators were everywhere, ensuring no question when unanswered. More than the excellent logistics, the spirit of the event was remarkable. It was incredibly moving to see off — duty CNA’s, nurses, and their families Volunteering their time to create a warm, inclusive community fellowship. Thank you to Thank you to western slope and the neighboring church for your hard work and dedication to making our family visit so memorable. Eli Hernandez, Resident.
