VNA (Visiting Nurse Association)

As a Home Physical Therapist I have visited many homes. I have not
observed a home that is so well laid our as the home I currently work in
designed by Golden Age Services & Silver Ridge Homes.
The home is not only beautiful but functional as well. The placement of
furnishings and belongings are very conducive to easy management, cleaning
and safety in the home. They thought of every detail to accommodate the
aging population. All the doorways and hallways as well as the kitchen and
bathrooms can accommodate a wheelchair or a walker. There is lots of cabinet
space for all the treasures that have been collected through the years,
cutting down on clutter. The master bathroom is spacious and is equipped
with a taller commode, which is a plus if you've had a total hip
replacement. the shower is very large with no lip or step to negotiate
making it easy for a wheelchair to just roll in if necessary. It is also
equipped with appropriately placed grab bars for added safety. I am very
much impressed and would highly recommend Golden Age Services
for designing / optimizing a home to inure ease of care and safety for the
elderly.

Dear Gary and Jeanne:
I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to see an optimized home, thank
you for giving me the grand tour! The attention to detail is obvious.
Of particular note were the hallways, higher toilets and the arthritis
friendly faucet handles and door levers. My favorite items, however,
would be the easy-to reach tub faucet handles and the sweep vent in the
kitchen.
The Morongo basin is so fortunate to have you here advocating for our
seniors and becoming involved in our community. I look forward to
working with you on various projects in the future.
Sincerely,
Catja Arnzen, LVN
