Doves' Nest - Residential Care Home - An Assisted Living Facility



		Testimonials / Letters of Appreciation A Message From Jenny Cooper: Our Dad has stayed at Dove's Nest with Ana Khan since April, 2001 and it was the best decision we could have ever made for him. It is like home to him now, always clean and he has received the best care available. She personally prepares meals, and since she is a gourmet cook they smell wonderful. We are welcome to come and visit at anytime and we always find the residents content and receiving loving care. One thing we have noticed is how Ana treats each resident as though they were a family member. She is always pleasant and cheerful and treats them with respect. Every holiday and birthday is celebrated; she takes pictures at these events which she keeps around the rooms to make it more like home. Ana is an angel-----she is the kindest, most gentle and caring person to ever care for a member of our family.

		A Message From Kathryn Helm (May 22, 2003): I am writing this letter on behalf of a very special caretaker, Ana Khan. My father began to decline in mental and physical health in November 2000. After a short hospital stay, he was moved to a very nice nursing home. He stayed there for one full month when we decided to care for him at home. We had grown more and more frustrated by the lack of care given to him. He seemed to be getting worse in physical ability and mental ability during his stay in the nursing home. My mother was somewhat able and my brother moved in with them for a few months to help. We also had some in-home care. Living at home again was hard on both my mother and my dad. After a fall in April of 2001, he landed in the hospital again. With advice from a social worker, we began to search for a personal care home. It might be more affordable and maybe we could find a more caring home for my dad than the nursing home had been. Our prayers were answered when we visited The Dove’s Nest and met Ana Khan. My dad moved into her home with a few other patients on April 17, 2001. With Ana’s attentiveness, loving strokes, encouragement, great food, and her skill in attending older adults, my dad improved in physical ability and seems to be very happy. My mother visits my dad almost daily and my siblings and I visit him every week or so. We have always found him to be clean, well cared for, and happy. The food Ana prepares is healthy and things my dad really enjoys. Dad had some minor surgery a few months ago and the doctor attending him mentioned how well cared for he seemed to be. Ana provided the doctor with extensive information and called regularly about his progress to the doctor. We could not be happier with the loving home that my dad resides in with Ana’s care. Please do not hesitate to call if you would like further information. Sincerely, Kathryn Helm

		A Message From Cecile: Ana dear, You are a bringer of joy to all who live in your home. I see our prayers being answered for Ann being with you. You do all days with a special flare – Christmas following brightly in your path. Thanks for my box of Christmas joy! Love, Cecile

		A Message From The Granberry Family (December 2002): Dear Ana, There are no words we can thin of to thank you for what you do for our Dad – which helps our mom greatly. You treat the residents you have like part of your family and with such respect and love. Even the ones who can’t converse with you, you speak to them so sweetly yet do not talk down to them. We love you. God bless you. -The Granberry Family

		A Message From Anna Bell and Moss (January 2004): Dearest Ana, We appreciate your love and patience. We thank you for the beautiful cups filled with chocolate and cookies. We will enjoy these. We do love the members of your team. They handle everyone in a caring way. We thank you for making us fell wecome each time we come.

		A Message From John (Trinity Baptist Church)(February 2003): Thank you so much for your letter regarding Mrs. Shields. I appreciate so much your sincerity and gracious comments. I was equally touched that you would take the time to attend her service and be with the family. It is a testimony to Doves’ Nest that their Administrator truly cares and was both saddened at the loss of Mrs. Shields; and yet took joy in her last relocation. I suspect that you must feel “Divinely called” to the mission in which you find yourself. May God’s spirit, which illumined Mrs. Shields, and continues to illumine use; shine through you as a source of comfort and peace to those who need it most. Blessings to you, John (Trinity Baptist Church)
