"Dear Brad and Trina,

I was today reminded of the wonderful care you and your staff gave my mom during the time she spent at Culver Meadows. I can't thank you enough for the dignity your "family" showed my mom. I was reminded by a friend who is starting the same voyage with her mom. I recommended that she call you folks and I will recommend Culver Meadows every chance I get. You may not recall but I had my mother in two different places before Culver Meadows. Each of them changed the rules on my mother as her alzheimer's progressed. Those experiences were the most stressful I have ever been through. And the stress on her was what was really bothersome. I was so happy when Comfort Keepers put us in touch with you! I will bring some chocolate by on a Thursday in the near future. It is great to see you all when I can manage it."

"Dear Brad and Trina,

Although Dad was there a brief time, his care was unparalleled. Not only is your Home clean and fresh, it is obvious that the residents are well cared for. We always felt welcomed when visiting Dad. We love that your children are free to visit the residents. What impressed us most was the care that you gave Dad as he was passing recently. Your support of Heartland Hospice entering Dad's room, and our rather large family being welcome to spend our last day and a half with him was amazing. You made a very difficult situation, a loving, supportive process. As I said to you personally, we would be happy to speak to anyone seeking a place for their loved one. If we had to do it all over again we would choose you! We will miss you!"

"Moving my mom from the Detroit area to Traverse City last summer was not an easy decision but I knew that she would be well taken care of at Culver Meadows. Trina and her staff are caring, friendly and competent. Culver Meadows has a family atmosphere and feels more like a home than an institutional facility. The home and grounds are clean and well maintained and it is a comfort to know that Brad and Trina live right upstairs. My mother has made friends with both the staff and residents and it is a joy to see her so happy in her golden years."

""My mother lived at Culver Meadows for a little over a year. She was in the late stages of Alzheimer's disease, but didn't act like a typical patient. Trina, her husband Brad, and their staff were very patient and loving to her. I know this was a challenge as she was aggressive and agitated a good portion of the time. Trina was very faithful in attending doctor appointments with us which was very helpful in my mom's care. I expected many times that Trina would ask me to find a new place for my mom to live, but she never did. I am very grateful that my mom could finish her days at Culver Meadows."

My husband was a patient a Culver Meadows for 5 months. While in their care, he was given kindness, patience, and excellent personal grooming and all of the attention that a person with Parkinsonism and Dementia needed. The home itself was always kept spotless and his room was cozy and more like his own home. The owners, Trina and Brad, were in residence most of the time and were able to make decisions that required medical attention. When they were away the could always be reached by Cell Phone. They never hesitated to call me when anything out of the ordinary happened and always kept me apprised of his condition. I visited my husband every day, and witnessing first hand how he was treated and the other patients were treated gave me peace of mind. When my husband had to be hospitalized, at the ind of his life, Trina, Brad and several of the attendants came to visit him and their care and concern even then will always be remembered. From the first time I went to Culver Meadows, it was a warm friendly place and I never regret making the decision to put my husband in their care." "
