A Happy Home for Dolly

One of the first clients my wife, "Jee", worked with when she started working as a caregiver was Juanita "Dolly" Keeler. At the time, Jee was working for another agency and At Home Adult Care had not yet been born. Jee became very close to Dolly, as she does with many of her clients.

After she stopped working for the other agency and we started our own company she kept in close contact with Dolly. Dolly wasn't able to become our client, because it would not be right for us to accept her as a client when my wife met her by working for another agency. But, Jee has continued to help her as a friend and at no cost.

Recently, Dolly had a fall and spent some time in the hospital and then in an assisted living center before returning to her home. At this time, her home is a senior's apartment where she lives independently. The ordeal was very hard on her. After returning home, Dolly asked my wife to search for a new home for her that would offer a bit more assistance, but still allow her to maintain her independence and offer her a good quality of life.

My wife and I have a good knowledge of the assisted living facilities in the areas we serve. This is because through our business we've been to visit and tour these facilities and know key persons on the staff. We recommended two facilities for Dolly to visit, both very good, but each with a slightly different flavor.

After taking a look at both, Dolly has decided that her new home will be The Posada at Whittier. Dolly visited the facility with her Sister-in-law and they both fell in love with it. We know she will be very happy at her new home in Uptown Whittier


We are so happy for her! The Posada at Whittier is such an amazing facility, with very caring, friendly and fun staff.

Congratulations Dolly! We'll look forward to every visit.
