In our era, there appears to be a dreadful stigma attached to Senior Citizen Care Facilities; one of the biggest complaints our generation has with these homes is their complete lack of a community and genuine care for the residents. Since the quality of life is key for the people living in care facilities, families want to ensure that their loved one is in an environment that caters to his or her personal beliefs and living styles. One woman wanted to find a place where her grandfather could receive exceptional personal care, along with a home where he could feel secure in practicing his Jewish beliefs. Unfortunately, the family could not find such a place, so two years ago, Joanna Rem decided to create just that type of place for her grandfather, as well as other individuals who shared their overall values. Thus, Mameleh & Tateleh’s was born, and one home in Canyon Country was revamped to suitably house up to six residents. A trained four-person staff, with an emphasis in Dementia awareness, helps to tenderly care for the residents. The goal at Mameleh & Tateleh’s is to “provide the highest quality of life, have fun, and establish strong friendships.” One way the home is personalized is through the individual meals that are offered to the residents three times a day. A LVN visits twice a week to check up on the residents, and anytime residents need transportation to personal appointments, that service is provided as well. A few special traditions at the home include the Shabbat dinner every Friday night. Don’t be fooled: this is no “rest home”! The owners of Mameleh & Tateleh’s want to keep their residents heartily entertained, so they arrange for fun events, such as Karaoke nights, BBQ’s, games and exercise, as well as days spent with their family and regular outings. Because of this exceptional care, Mameleh & Tateleh’s is known for great patient care and a “gorgeous” environment. Even the family members of the residents rave about the great care that their loved one is receiving: “My mom is so spoiled at your home! Everything she wants, she gets, and the friendships established with the care givers and administrators are priceless,” says one family member. A place like Mameleh & Tateleh’s strives to change the image of a Senior Citizen’s Home from a cold, mechanical business, to a loving home. Based on many testimonials from the residents and their family members, Mameleh & Tateleh’s is a comfortable place within the safety of the Santa Clarita Valley that allows older folks to continue living happily under the watchful, kind eyes of professional care givers.
