We were so fortunate to meet Lucie when my mother was diagnosed with cancer the second time. The moment we brought my mom to meet Lucie and see her house, my mother was relieved. The transition for my mom to move from her own home to having full-time care was difficult. Lucie and her staff were so loving and nurturing I couldn't believe how fast my mother adapted. Knowing how particular my mom could be about her meals, I was amazed to hear my mom quickly praise Lucie's home cooking. Unfortunately, my mother's cancer progressed rapidly. Initially we were concerned that my mother might have to move to another facility. Lucie immediately reassured us that my mom was welcome to stay and then Lucie began guiding us through this last phase of my mom's life. When it came time for Hospice intervention, Lucie served as a bridge for my mom to feel at ease with the new care she needed. Looking back on how much we depended on Lucie, I am still taken by the ease and confidence we had leaving my mom at the end of each day. I think Lucie prolonged my mom's life with her charm and wonderful care. Knowing my mom was receiving such compassion and assistance gave dignity to her struggle and Lucie's care helped my family through that exhausting time. I know my mother was comfortable, relaxed and enjoyed the love and attention she deserved right up to her last breath. Lastly, I cannot speak highly enough of how sensitive and comforting Lucie was when she called to summon us for our last visit. I recommend Lucie and her "Cozy Cottage" to anyone looking for a dignified and loving environment.
