A Special Lady
Special words from the family of a very special lady.
Miss M
...as many called her, was a dear of a lady. She was 93 when she passed, but her passing was only the conclusion to a life that read like a novel. We relished our opportunities to talk with Miss M about her life... her hard times, conquests, accomplishments and her family. She had seen so much and had so much to share. More than anything else, we will remember her always pleasant disposition. She had a smile for everyone.
The following is the text from a note from her family following her passing.
September 10, 2011
At the beginning of our search for Home Care for our mom, she had indicated she was ready to sign on with another service. But wanting to actually give mom a choice, we chose to have Monarch come and assess mom's needs and care well. We were all very pleased with what Monarch provided, as was mom, and ultimately she decided to go with them… and we're glad she did.
After our year and a half experience with Monarch, we feel truly blessed to have found such caring people to take care of Mom as she made her final journey through life. Monarch went above and beyond our expectations so many times. It was truly a pleasure to work with them.
We always appreciated the special attention the Owners, Office Staff and Caregivers gave to Mom, bringing her dinners, sending her flowers/cards, taking her out or just stopping by to talk and visit. They helped decorate Mom's house for the different seasons, which she truly loved! They made it possible for her to get out and visit neighbors and friends.
The Caregivers were caring and professional keeping Mom safe, happy, clean, fed/hydrated, and mentally stimulated. They made sure she was surrounded by a clean and cheerful environment and were always gracious when called upon to do extra tasks. Whenever we needed to get in touch with Monarch day/night, weekday/weekend they were always very pleasant and there to respond and coordinate any communication through to Mom's team of Caregivers.
Monarch's presence at Mom's memorial celebration meant a lot to us and served to show us that this was never just a job to them and how much they cared about Mom. It was comforting to see those who gave Mom such special care, especially over her last days, be a part of this celebration of her life. We were all so happy that Mom was able to be where she truly wanted to be, at home where she and Dad had so many happy memories, near the water, among friends and neighbors, surrounded by the things that she had collected, and loved throughout her lifetime. We consider that a blessing, as well as all those at Monarch who cared so much for her.
We can't thank Monarch enough for all they did for Mom and our family, It gave us all great peace of mind knowing that Monarch was there day & night taking care of Mom and giving her the love she so richly deserved.

Testimonials
A few words from our clients
Monarch Senior Care is located in our area, so the co-owner came and spoke with us and our children. We liked what he said they provided. They were very very good. We were very pleased with them. The caregivers are all wonderful. They would do anything I would ask them to do. They would take the initiative and look around for something that is needed to be done and helped wherever they were needed.
- Jean
We liked their personalized care. They were also local to where my mother-in-law was. They were very professional but also very personable. They were always there. You could call them at any time and they would be more than willing to help if we needed somebody to be there or if we needed somebody in general. They were so accommodating. They just went above and beyond. If it's her birthday or mother's day, they always make something special for her.
- Jeanette
They were fabulous! They made sure that someone was there even in bad weather.
The caregivers were very positive. They fell in love with mom and she really enjoyed them. They had nice conversations. They let her know that they were there to help her. Whatever she needed they were willing to do.
