Happy Birthday Azura!

July 26, 2013 No comments yet


Hi,Josh McClellan

It has been three short years since the opening of our first Azura community in Lakewood.  It seems like just yesterday that I was coaching my son on a little league baseball field in Boulder and the other coach mentioned that he had a friend who was in the same business as me – and that we should meet.  He said this guy had a great idea for a new senior community in Lakewood, and he was looking for a partner.  A week later, I met Tim Heronimus.  The rest, so they say, is history.

Since the opening of Azura of Lakewood,  just thirty-six months ago, we now provide exceptional care from Sheboygan, WI to Castle Rock, CO – and also into people’s homes as they recover.  We have had the privilege of caring for over 6,000 people and employ nearly 700 team members.  I am very proud of what we have accomplished in a short period of time!

My first job out of college was working as an administrator in training at a nursing facility called Columbus Colony for Elderly Care.   It was a unique community that provided care to deaf residents.  I picked up a little sign language there, but also had the opportunity to mentor under a great guy named Ron White.  Ron was very compassionate and always said, “If you love what you do, and love the people you work with, you’ll be happy”.

Well, I am happy and truly blessed to be able to work at something I love doing and working with people that I truly love working with.  Our core value stories are shared every day, and I am constantly amazed and humbled by stories I hear.

Have a wonderful day and Happy Birthday Azura!

My father has been here only a little over 2 months. The positive change in him has been DRAMATIC! I would HIGHLY recommend Azura........ I would give it 10 stars if they allowed it! This is the premier facility for any family member with cognitive issues! They do treat residents like family, believe it!

"We want to thank you for the loving special care you took of our mother, Diane. It was truly mom's home and you all became part of our family. Everything was home for her....from the beautiful rooms, large sunny windows all around, good food made with love, fun and personal activities from people who really loved our mom. We would highly recommend your facility to anyone. The staff from the director, to the doctor, to the nurse, to the caregivers and the maintenance man were all extremely helpful, caring, loving and professional. There are not enough words to say how much we appreciate all of you. Your exceptional care, kindness, and love were beyond anything we could have imagined. You were part of our family, and we will miss you." - Gail Sommers and Deborah Guse

Just moved my sister-in-law to Azura Stoughton on February 12th. I feel like I’ve found a little piece of dementia heaven. The staff has gone way beyond my expectations to meet her needs and take time to know her. Anyone who has dementia deserves the TLC they receive at Azura. I’m so impressed.

Thank you to the Azura Memory Care team, Sheboygan location for the amazing, loving care they provided my dad. They truly loved and cared for my dad as if he was their own. It is such a warm, loving, family environment I only wish we would have moved my dad there years earlier!

I have enjoyed working with patients at Azura Care as a Physical Therapist Assistant. The staff has been very helpful in sharing important information about the patients to make their therapy sessions as productive as possible. They are open to learning techniques to help keep patients safe and improve their ability to perform daily tasks with less assistance. Their interactions with patients show caring and compassion with a focus on the needs of each individual to enjoy the best quality of life possible.

The journey of caregiving for my Aunt started over 4 years ago. It has been a very long difficult journey. It is hard to watch and frustrating to watch a loved one decline, as well as for them to live the decline. My Aunt found her final peace at Azura Memory Care in Sheboygan. It was not only her peace but mine as well. I no longer had to worry about her care as I could see that she was loved by her Azura family. She passed away on June 21 and they knew how important that it was for me to be there, but I also found peace that if I was not there, she was with family that loved her. No words can express the appreciation for the care, compassion and love that they have for all their residents. God has opened many doors through my journey and the doors at Azura were truly a gift from God. This family made a difference in a long journey. I will always have them in my thoughts and prayers. They are where and doing what they are meant to do!
