I have been grateful that my 97-year-old mom lived at Academy Point at Mystic throughout the pandemic. For five years, she has called the community home first in assisted living, then Mind & Memory Care.
Recently, a health scare reinforced my gratitude to their caregivers. It is because of the excellent care she received there that she is with us today. Despite a physician writing her off because of her age and dementia diagnosis, Academy Point’s team was not giving up. They knew what she needed to return to her old self and what I needed during a difficult time. Late on a Friday, mom was hospital discharged for what were to be her final days. With little notice, Academy Point set up a new apartment so I could spend ample time with her. Over the weekend, Marie and her team got her up, got fluids and food into her and tended to her swollen legs. By Sunday, mom was eagerly eating independently and ready to return to her apartment.
