Review: Peace of mind knowing that your loved ones are in good hands, and that you don’t have to worry about them after you walk out the door — it’s truly priceless. And, no matter who says what, that’s what Ararat provides! Is it perfect? No place is. But I honestly don’t understand why people would go as far as attack this place (as I’ve read in some reviews)?!Do you imagine your loved one or even yourself at a better facility? I mean, there are luxury places out there (better than the homes that most of us live in now), but those cost 7-8K+ (up to 15-20K depending on care intensity) per month. But it’s not for everyone to afford!This place provides your loved ones with everything and more - all covered by their insurance.Besides the basics and an overall clean, safe, and warm environment, there’s an additional bonus — yummy traditional dishes. And for Armenian community it’s very important to have the kinds of foods their tastebuds are used to. And Ararat provides that in plentihood. With snacks, and tea, and yogurt, and coffee, and crackers, and cheese — the whole nine yards. Margarita (the director) is an amazing lady! Her dad actually has been a resident here for years.I have been to and seen several nursing homes in search of the right place for parents. I’ve tasted the bland foods they serve. I’ve had my dad staying at one of those places as well. And I had to stay there for hours (from morning till late evening) to make sure that they take good care of him (even with bare necessities, like changing diapers), and I was worried as hell after leaving him there at nights. Workers at that other place would literally ask me for help in turning dad over and keeping him in a rolled over position, while changing him (ouch to my back and hands). You can only imagine how they would (not fully) clean him, if we didn’t turn him.Ararat is the place that let me take a sigh of relief and not worry about what’s happening there, while we’re not around.I trust THIS place to take good care of my dad. I personally wouldn’t choose any other place, but the Ararat Home for my family members or for me in the future.I know it’s human nature to complain and, no matter what, people will find something wrong with anything. Accidents happen everywhere. They can even happen at home as we turn our backs to go into another room or even right before our eyes.Just put your hand on your heart and tell me what other place would you trust over this one? Be it for yourself in the future or for your loved ones today. Use your own brain, when you hear things! There is a reason why it has such a huge waitlist and people are dreaming of getting in here! I rest in my case. lol
