"I want to sincerely thank you for the role you have played in the chain of events, without your initial recommendation, Mom would not be where she is today. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for your caring contributions"

-- Brenda, Hamm

"I wanted to thank your organization for what it does, and especially commend you for the over-the-top assistance, support, and guidance provided in our search and transition. Six months ago, we were barely realizing the realities and challenges of my mom's memory loss condition. We had no clue as to how to go about identifying and evaluating prospective community solutions. Our situation was even more complicated due to the fact that my dad insisted on being able to stay with my mom through the transition, even though he is in "good" condition. After connecting with you, listening to your advice, experiences, suggestions and recommendations, we moved my folks from their old home of 52 years into their "new" home. Definitely an adjustment for all, but they are doing quite well and so is the rest of the family. Thank you!"

-- Charles W.

"Thanks so much for all of your help and support. A place for mom is truly a great place for caregivers! "

Governor's Glen Memory Impaired Community
Forest Park, GA
Alzheimer's Care
Governor's Glen Memory Impaired Community (Z) Alzheimer's Care
Governor's Glen opened in 1999 as an exclusive Alzheimer's/memory impaired assisted living community. Its founder and owner, Dr. Paul A. Colon, was a caregiver for his mother, Millie Michaels, who passed away from Alzheimer's Disease in 1997. Becoming an ALFA certified developer, he used his experience and knowledge to help design an assisted living residence that looks and feels like a home, not a hospital or hotel. Dr. Colon learned through his experience with his mother that socialization is the key to survival for a person with Alzheimer's. His mother was staying at home receiving 24-hour care when she fell and broke her hip in 1993. She was almost non-verbal and had lost much weight prior to her fall. But with a stay at a rehab facility, receiving social stimulation, she began showing signs of cognitive improvement. Dr. Colon was inspired to build a place for his mom, a place where residents would be loved and cared for and safe. His mother passed away before the dream could be realized for her, but her picture hangs over the fireplace in the parlor at Governor's Glen, with a plaque inscribed: "Dedicated to the memory of Millie Michaels and all those who have endured the challenges of memory impairment." Though she succumbed to Alzheimer's Disease, her legacy lives on today.
