Bill Quinton underwent a procedure meant to prevent future strokes. Instead, he had a stroke on the operating table. “A nightmare is what followed,” Kay explained. “An absolute nightmare.” When the hospital discharged Bill, Kay shared, “They said they’d done all they could do for him. That’s when we took him to Mirador.”
“Bill had speech, physical and occupational therapy,” Kay said. “Let me tell you, those Mirador people are angels on earth. Truly.”
Deacon Loni Lugo explained, “I think I was unknowingly drawn to Mirador without even realizing it because so many of those living here have also experienced the loss of a spouse or find themselves alone. There is an unspoken understanding about where we are in life, an understanding that I didn’t expect to find. Feeling understood...that part wasn’t in the brochure.”
In early 2019, an excited, yet nervous Deborah Nugent, Executive Director at Mirador, stood before the resident body to introduce an organization called Methodist Retirement Communities (MRC) who would soon take ownership of the community.
