When it became evident to Terri that her mother, Carolyn, was no longer able to stay home alone, she reached out for help. Carolyn enrolled in Adult Day where she quickly regained the sense of purpose that she had lost in retirement. The people here fascinated her, and she formed new friendships and a special relationship, happily spending her days visiting with and caring for others.

Carolyn’s time at MountainCare was just as valuable to Terri and her sisters. While her mom was here, Terri continued working, and was able to complete errands and household tasks. Most importantly, Terri had respite from her caregiving responsibilities, making it possible to keep her mother at home until nearly the end of her life.

Now, Terri has returned to MountainCare as a Front Desk Specialist, where her experience as a caregiver helps her relate uniquely to the families we serve - all the while honoring her mom's journey.

Carolyn and Terri are two examples of the many compassionate women who fill our MountainCare community with unconditional love and sacrifice each day. This Mother's Day, please consider honoring someone special who made an impact on your life by supporting MountainCare.
