Moving a parent into care at 94 years old is not an easy transition, but Mona and the staff at Karo Mina Care Home have made it better than I could have imagined for my dad and our family. My father moved in at the end of January, and from day one he has been treated with kindness, dignity, patience, and genuine care. The home itself feels like an actual home, not an institution. In fact, it’s less than a mile from the house my parents lived in for over 50 years, so the familiar neighborhood and home environment have been incredibly comforting for him. Mona and her small team are attentive, personable, and truly on top of everything. They home cook meals three times a day, keep his shared room clean and safe, monitor his medications and blood pressure, make sure he has snacks, and genuinely pay attention to his wellbeing. They also transport him to his doctor’s appointments, which has been a huge help for our family and gives me peace of mind knowing he’s being looked after every step of the way. There’s a comfortable living room where he watches his favorite shows, and a bright backyard where he enjoys sitting in the sun. What stands out most is the feeling that the people caring for him actually know him. That peace of mind is priceless. You are not dealing with a giant facility where caregivers rotate constantly and nobody really knows your loved one. This is a small, caring environment run by good people who clearly care deeply about their residents. I honestly cannot recommend Karo Mina Care Home enough. Mona has become someone I consider a friend, and I’m incredibly grateful for the care, compassion, and stability she and her staff provide every single day.

Mom is still there and we are very happy.Has a very homey feel and is in a home. We didn't want a large place. They only can have about 5 in residence and they are normally women.

VerifiedReview for Karo Mina Care Home
The house was clean and we came just after lunch and they were already preparing dinner. No processed food all home cooking it smelled delicious. My mom loved home cooking.[names removed] are awesome they and their staff take excellent care of not only their patients but the family members as well. My mom wasn't there very long but I know that she was taken care of like she was a member of their own family.

VerifiedYou Can Trust Your Loved One At Karon Mina
I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones. I feel very comfortable having my loved one here. The staff get to know the residents and families, so the family is able to relax a little more. There are home cooked meals. This is a smaller community with a max of 5 or 6 residents. The owner is very friendly and helpful. They want to make sure they are doing everything correct. There is a lot of communication between the staff and family, which is appreciated.

Care and hospitality was beyond anything I experienced. Like a family member to us all. At the end of my daughter passing, she gave us space that we needed. As a family we are truly forever grateful.

Mona is a very special person. This isn’t some job to her. She truly cares for her patients and is very attentive. I slept well at night knowing my sister was in Mona’s caring hands. She is truly a gift to my family. Clean facility, good meals and a sense of home not some cold facility where your loved one is alone all day. We went through a few facilities before we found Mona. We feel so fortunate to have found her.

VerifiedThis was a great community and the tour was nice there was just another community that was larger and had more socialization and I felt like this community was too small. The staff were nice and very clean, a nice garden and the owner was great it was just not a great fit for my loved one. It would be great for someone that does not need a lot of stimulation.

VerifiedThankfully
I am a current client of Karo Mina I never doubted this choice for my mom, who has several health issues which prevent her from caring for herself. I did plenty of research and made the right choice. Mom is happier, cleaner and is eating better. The owner keeps in touch if there are changes, which are rare. She is fantastic, and so good serving all mom needs. We are so relieved knowing that mom is finally accepting such great care. Karo Mina does a great job, and are very caring..

Do not take anyone you love here
I would say to stay far away from this community and to be aware of wolfs in sheep clothing.

VerifiedMy review of Karo Mina Care Home
The staff members and care takers were all very friendly. The food there was all made by hand, which was a huge plus. They made the meals depending on the residents dietary needs, so they were very accommodating. During Christmas time they had some carolers come by and sing, but just with the covid restrictions the activities were pretty limited, but we think everything did a good job we were satisfied. Karo Mina location wise is in a good spot, we have nothing negative to say about the place. It was kept clean and neat.

Our mother is a resident at Karo Mina Care Home. The facility is a home setting. They have a living room, separate dining room, and outside patio and garden area. The house is always clean and neat. Our mother has been a resident for nearly 3 years. She has a single room and it is spacious and well kept. The food is always homemade and there is variety with the lunches and dinners. The staff are kind and caring and whenever we visit they are friendly and helpful. The owners are quick to notify us if ever our mother needs medical attention and whenever there is something our mother needs. If we have an idea about how to improve our mother's quality of life the owners are open to hearing our suggestions and working with us to implement them if feasible. Excellent communication between the owners and ourselves make us feel connected to our mother, for example we are able to video chat with our mother regularly using our phones and iPad. We have full schedules with our own work and families, and because the owners alert us whenever necessary and help us stay connected with our mother we feel more at ease. Overall a pleasant, welcoming and caring environment. We highly recommend this facility. UPDATE: Our mother recently went on hospice and the facility is helping to ensure our mother receives excellent and compassionate end-of-life hospice care.
