INGE'S UNIQUELY WARM ASSISTED LIVING HOME

When the Doctors tell you your loved one is no longer able to live on their own because of cognitive decline and you have to make the decision to find a facility for them to live in, in a short amount of time, it weighs heavy on your heart. While looking for a place for my Aunt, I prayed that we would find the right place for her. Visiting some places, reading many reviews, I kept coming back to Ingecare. This facility has a cozy, homey feel. Very clean with no smell. Inge and her staff make you feel right at home, answering questions and showing you everything. Making home cooked, healthy meals and using holistic care is an added bonus. The decision was made back in August 2025 to bring my Aunt to Ingecare. My Aunt being the independent person she was, was not happy about living anywhere other than her own home. She fought hard to have us take her home, for months. Inge and her staff were wonderful and loving. After getting to know Inge and her staff, my Aunt would say “I like this place but I just want to go home.” As my Aunt’s dementia worsened she was more accepting of being under the care of Inge and grew to love her. Inge had to lovingly fight, to get my Aunt to eat and drink, she had always been a picky eater. Inge was able to start hospice care services for my Aunt, a nurse and social worker visited and monitored along with what IngeCare was doing. We were not able to be there during my Aunt’s last three months of life but we called her often. Inge went over and beyond taking care of her, she never gave up. My Aunt’s hospice nurse let us know that Inge had done everything she could to make my Aunt feel loved and comfortable and that there was nothing hospice could have done different. Inge let us know when my Aunt was near the end of life, so we could talk to her to let her know how much we loved her. She slipped away comfortably and at peace last week. I would highly recommend Ingecare to anyone. Inge is an amazing person that cares deeply for her patients and I’m so glad we found her. Thank you so very much for all you did for my Aunt and continue to do for your patients.

Inge and her staff are incredibly caring and compassionate caregivers. When you can no longer care for yourself you should be so blessed to be in a home that’s a home, surrounded by people who are respectful, knowledgeable, and giving.

Inge is an angel — her love, gentleness, and strength as a seasoned professional create a magical combination of inspiration and trust. You feel immediately at home with her. I came to know her as one of our beloved congregants spent her last two months under Inge’s care. Inge is both deeply spiritual and profoundly professional — compassionate, grounded, and ready to meet people exactly where they are. Some of the residents in her beautiful, safe and tranquil home are there for the long term, and some are passing through on their way to their Spiritual home. Inge is ever-present for all of them - this is evident by her 50 years plus life of dedicated service. I often think about my own mother’s transition, and how I wish she could have spent her final days in such a warm, loving home. She received good care, but it wasn’t the same kind of heartfelt, soul-deep comfort that Inge brings so naturally - it wasn't Ingecare! There is something beyond words in the way she tends to those in their most sacred moments. Bless you, dearest Inge. Your work is truly beyond this world. It has been an honor to witness the grace you carry, and I know that our beloved friend made her transition from the right place — having found a true friend in you. With grateful blessings, Rev. Alex Musser

I cannot speak highly enough about IngeCare, and Inge's care. She really does. My sister was referred and placed by a hospital medical social worker upon discharge for what was deemed a very serious and "terminal illness". We had no idea what would happen next, and of course, highly concerned to leave her with "strangers" in a house we knew nothing about. Weeks later, I've come to know Inge' as a deeply caring, kind woman who has closely attended our sister' s needs, medically and spiritually. Her primary task is care for her residents, yet she has gone far beyond our expectation as far as working with family, keeping her responsibles informed and navigating others that wanted to see my sister for a "last visit". There are no "last visits" at IngeCare. She has been deeply attentive, offers very good individualized nutrition, based on the needs and desires of her residents. While we sat chatting in her living room, she always has her eye on the portable screen that she may monitor the necessary cameras, as we would hope in a hospice. Inge' often rises at night, when a resident has a need. She's done that frequently for my sister, who has been in pain. I can reach out any time, yet have no need to be there or check in constantly. Inge' has earned our complete trust... and that's a high bar to meet for me. She has mine 100%. And most importantly, when I would sit with J and ask her if she felt safe and taken care of, I received a firm "yes!". Witnessing my sister being closely attended during what the doctors term as "terminal" illness, then swiftly learning that Inge' doesn't hold that view, that J's life here will end when she's ready; until that time, Inge' works to see her thrive... it's been a blessing for me and mine. I have nothing but deep respect and appreciation for this woman. I hold deep gratitude that my sister was guided here, rather than a "facility" My sister could not be in better hands at this time.

Our family friend had loved one in this facility and we would often visit them as well to give the family member a break. Every time we would visit this friend who also became our friend move it find them eating rotten food. This food came from the food pantry because you would see the boxes. There were also cameras all over the home including the bathrooms which is an invasion of privacy for the residents and visitors. And every time we were does this friend we would find her in her room she would tell us that she was only allowed there. She would also be completely soiled along with her bedding when we would ask the staff or the owner Inge about it who was hardly ever there. They would tell us and our family friend that they were just charged however, everything was soaked clear through. When they were asked to change her again they would say well that’s not a changing schedule. And being that this family friend took care of their family member at home win got to learn their Medication schedule. And every time that it was asked about they would say oh yes we just gave them their medication. However when they moved out we found out that their medication was not given to them on a regular schedule or at all. Their new home got them on the schedule and it was much better. I personally would not put my own family member here or recommend this place for anyone who wants their loved one to live out the rest of their life with dignity and pass on if that is their next steps to live in this facility. As the patients are rarely cared for properly I saw and as I said we cut them several times eating rotten food or heating up rotten food it is also very hard to find a caregiver in this facility because they are always outside or on the phone to get any help at all. So as I said there are many other much better places to place your loved one if you expect a certain level of care and want them to live out the remainder of their life with dignity and respect. And please remember what I said the owner is rarely available as she is always it seems from what we heard when I asked at the casino. So I would think twice and take a very good look at this facility before placing my loved one of their and I wouldn’t do so after seeing what happened to my friends loved one. just a piece of advice to anyone Looking at this facility make frequent unannounced visits each time you will see something different that will make you think twice I promise you. I am so glad that we were able to help our family friend find a putter home as they do not deserve this type of care.
