Flager Pines Nursing Home

Todays post is about the home my mom is currently at. It is located in Bunnell, Florida. The staff here is wonderful to my mother! I had my doubts at first, since the other home had neglected her so badly. My mom has been here for a little over 2 years, and she feels loved here. The last time I had a real conversation with her, I asled if she wanted to move back to Virginia. She said "NO", I asked"WHY", She said " They are nice to me here and I have friends". So as much as I wanted to move back home to VA, I can not leave my mother or take her out of a place she is happy with! Flagler Pines is in an older home, but is managed very well! The staff say hello to you everytime you come there. They are on their toes constantly! If you bring something to their attention, they move on it quick! Outside of my Mom's drooling problem, they keep her clean all the time. I will say after the other home, I am proud of the love and care they give her! Remember, it's not the looks on the outside that counts, its whats inside that you need to worry about! Thank You Flagler Pines for meeting my Mother's needs and taking time to care for her!!!

That is truly wonderful. I would not be able to leave my mother either.

Congrats on getting your mother on a nursing home that's totally serves your mom good. Going for a retirement living (Charlotte, NC) is a serious business and asking people for second opinion is needed to ensure that your elderly family member will be taken care of. When my friend and I visited his uncle at the retirement communities in Charlotte, I am mesmerized with the place, it looks like it's a private club with the tenants there living in style.

My daughter (Annabel) suffered from schizophrenia for 5 years. I had no idea what was happening and didn’t know where to turn for help. It was hard then because I really didn’t understand the symptoms earlier until she was diagnosed. There was a time she decided to get away from everyone, I was not excluded. I had to sit and cry almost every day because I felt helpless as a single mother (she is all I have got). The anguish I went through taking care of her alone is beyond explanation because there was no support whatsoever from the dad or family members. I fought for proper medical care and humane treatment; I did everything within my reach to get her cured but all to no avail. Countless different medications was prescribed (Zyprexa, fluphenazine, Risperdal, quetiapine, etc.) that she was taking but all we could get was myriad of side effects such as rigidity, drowsiness, dizziness, tremors and restlessness which tends to worsen the already damaged situation. Frustration was the order of the day. I wrote a couple of messages to Ontario Mental Health Foundation for help because watching my daughter go through such was devastating. It was at this foundation someone shared a testimony about DR James herba mix medicine, how effective it is and how she went through the most difficult times of her life trying to help her mom fight Schizophrenia. Being that I was already at the verge of giving up because I just couldn't imagine waking up every morning to fight the same demons that left me so tired the night before. I had to contact the doctor,on his email  (drjamesherbalmix@gmail.com)  from our conversations; I was relieved and convinced that the result is going to be positive because I was made to contact people with worse cases. Today, the awful situation of my daughter has gone by. Her happy life is back. She is now a schizophrenia survivor and I am glad because my daily routine activities can now kick off without obstructions. Don't let Schizophrenia hinder you from living a desired life and also, never allow anyone to decide for you especially when they don't know what you have to go through to get to where you are. I was almost discouraged by the doctor but then, I remembered that: I have to shield my daughter’s destiny with courage, faith and perseverance because she is not in her right state of mind and that the bravery and freedom from fear is found in the ‘doing’. Her life is now a testimony. After my daughter got cured,from the herbal mix medicine Dr James prepared and sent to me, she said, Mom “I just thought, ‘Well, I’m a weirdo, I’ll never be normal, then I said, my daughter, life itself is a misery and we get stronger in the places we have been broken. Thanks to you Dr. James  for your excellent counseling, no more psychotic symptoms for the past 3 years and 4 months now.
