Deb Palmer
Daughter-in-law of Highview in the Woodlands Resident
The Palmer family was very concerned when their father, Clayborn, developed quick-onset Alzheimer's. Worried about his safety when he was home alone, they decided that they needed to find an alternate living arrangement that could provide Clayborn with the care he now needed. After visiting several facilities, the Palmers chose Highview in the Woodlands.
"My father-in-law had been in construction and was a very independent person until the Alzheimer's set in. We were concerned he would feel lost in a new environment. However, that was not the case at all," said Deb Palmer. "The Highview staff used a personalized approach to meet his needs. For example, they encouraged him to do tasks that reminded him of his past, even when that meant taking apart the kitchen plumbing. We still visit the friends we made while my father-in-law lived at Highview."
Deb's father-in-law passed away two and one-half years after moving into Highview.
"The Highview staff was so sensitive and supportive when my father-in-law took a turn for the worse," said Deb. "They prepared us for his passing by helping us through the emotional and physical stresses of losing a loved one."
The Palmer family was so pleased with their Highview experience that, when Deb's mother needed an assisted living facility, they once again chose Highview.
"The Highview atmosphere was always filled with positivity and personal support," said Deb.
