Elder Care: Driven by Compassion, Guided by Love
Inspired by a passion for delivering exceptional elderly care, we've built a foundation of compassionate support rooted in profound respect and love for our mothers. Our commitment to providing exceptional care is fueled by a deep understanding of the unique needs and experiences of our seniors, ensuring each person receives the compassion, kindness, and love they deserve.
A Promise Kept
As a high school student, I vividly remember every Christmas season spent without my mother. She worked tirelessly as a domestic helper in a foreign land, sacrificing her own happiness to provide for our family's needs. Every year, I'd think of her and make a promise to myself: I would study hard and take care of her when she grew old. I never imagined that life would take a different turn, but that promise remained etched in my heart.
A Dream Deferred
Tragedy struck when my mother fell ill. I had immigrated to the United States, hoping for a better life, but fate had other plans. Despite the distance, I was heartbroken when she passed away in the Philippines. I felt like I'd failed to keep my promise. The pain of not being able to care for her in her final days lingered, but it also sparked a new determination.
A Meeting of Hearts and Minds
I had been working as a Certified Nurse Assistant in a Skilled Nursing Facility with over 100 beds, where I faced numerous challenges. Despite the difficulties, my experience in skilled nursing facilities only strengthened my resolve to deliver personalized care to the elderly. As a Filipina, I believe that caring for the elderly is a way to honor my deceased parents and show gratitude for their love and sacrifices.
A Shared Passion
In April 2020, amidst the pandemic, my husband Keith and I exchanged vows, promising to support each other through life's joys and challenges. My dream of establishing a care home for the elderly remained dear to my heart, and Keith's own experience caring for his mother, who suffered from dementia and blindness, from 2011 to 2017, has been incredibly enriching. He learned the intricacies of caregiving and developed a profound appreciation for the caregivers at the Filipina-owned care home in Sacramento, where his mother was placed when she required more assistance.
Fulfillment and Purpose
As we worked towards making this dream a reality, I felt a sense of purpose and fulfillment wash over me. With each passing day, I knew I was keeping my promise to my mother, even if she wasn't there to see it. The care home became a tribute to her love and sacrifice. Every smile, every tear of joy, and every moment of connection with our residents reminded me of why I started this journey.
Our Commitment
At Golden Heart Care Home, we're committed to providing exceptional care that goes beyond and above. We strive to create a warm, welcoming, and safe environment where seniors can thrive. Our team is dedicated to understanding the unique needs and preferences of each resident, ensuring that they receive personalized care and attention.
A Mother's Legacy Lives On
Through my work, I've found happiness and a sense of fulfillment. I know that my mother would be proud of the person I've become and the care home I've established. Her legacy lives on through me, and I'll continue to care for others as she cared for me. I'm thankful to have my loving husband by my side, sharing this journey, and I'm also thankful for our Heavenly Father's guidance and love.
A Brighter Future
As we look to the future, I'm filled with hope and excitement. I know that our care home will continue to grow and evolve, providing a haven for seniors and their families. I'm grateful for the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others and to honor my mother's legacy. With my husband Keith by my side, I'm confident that we'll continue to make a positive impact in our community.
