„My connection with Leliani is deeply personal and significant. I brought my aunt here; she has a mild form of Alzheimer’s and requires constant, dedicated attention. The greatest change this decision brought into our lives was peace of mind. Knowing that my loved one is in the hands of professionals, safe in an environment where her well-being is the top priority every single day, is a comfort that is exceptionally precious for any family. Old age is a stage of life where a person deserves the utmost respect and care. Care, however, is not just about medical assistance. It is about emotional support, preserving dignity, and ensuring a high quality of daily life. A well-organized care system defines how the elderly experience this vital period of their lives. At Leliani, I found an extraordinary team – competent, passionate individuals who truly love not only their work but also the residents they care for. This home is a place where aging retains its dignity; a space where a person is not just a patient, but an individual treated with love, respect, and professionalism. Are you still hesitating whether to bring a family member to Leliani? I encourage you to view this decision not as a „parting“, but as the highest form of care. With its standards, environment, and incredible approach, Leliani is a truly unique place in Georgia!“.
„Leliani is a place where people feel happy and secure. It is clear that an immense amount of warmth and love is given here“.
„Since my family member moved to Leliani, life has become much more peaceful, as I know they are under the supervision of professionals and receive round-the-clock care. The staff at this home are attentive, compassionate, and warm-hearted individuals who carry out their work with genuine care and dedication. I believe that old age is a stage of life when peace, appreciation, and sincere support are essential. Leliani is a caring and safe environment that ensures a dignified quality of life for the elderly. Yes, I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who is looking for the highest standard of care and a socially active environment for their loved one“.

„I was travelling abroad and had to leave my mother for several days, so I needed professional, qualified assistance. To be honest, I was completely unprepared for the circumstances caused by a parent’s helplessness. Fear and confusion overwhelmed me. I learned about Leliani from friends, which is why I turned to them and used the short-term respite care service for my mother. The 10 days spent in this home became a new stage for us, both in understanding the illness and in planning further care for the patient. Leliani was a great support for me and other family members. The first experience was psychologically traumatic, but in the end we were very satisfied. Staying here had a positive impact on her health. The specialists worked well and she returned home with improved indicators. I must highlight the high-standard service of the experienced and competent team and their warm, humane attitude towards my mother. Old age is inevitable and requires good planning. Life expectancy has increased, and as a result, a person may sometimes live to complete helplessness. How can we live in a way that preserves dignity, does not burden our children and loved ones, maintains a zest for life and avoids isolation? Leliani answers all these questions and fears. Be brave and you will not regret it. Institutions like Leliani are also our future...“.

„In the spring of 2025, my mother was diagnosed with vascular parkinsonism. Despite mobilising family members and providing 24/7 care, her deterioration progressed at a cosmic speed. We found ourselves in a hopeless situation. She was completely withdrawn and in constant pain. No hospital would accept her. The reality was clear: if we kept her at home, we would lose her. My brother and I asked ourselves only one question: – what is best for Maia? Everything else was secondary. We were lucky that a friend recommended Leliani. From the moment we arrived, I felt hope that the care here would benefit my mother. The first two weeks are a period of adjustment and getting to know the rules. During this time, you are constantly in dialogue with yourself: – did I make the right decision? Did I do the right thing? After two weeks, my mother’s anxiety, pain and tension disappeared completely. This was the first visible progress, which gave us confidence and reassured us that our choice was right. Now, two months later, my mother is back on her feet and learning to walk again. We did not even hope for such progress, so my question was finally answered: – I made the right decision! I would advise people in a similar situation to switch off selfish feelings and think about one thing only: – what will be best for their loved one, where they will receive better care and where they will feel safer. After moving a family member to Leliani, you continue caring for them as before and participate in their daily life. This is essential. Nothing changes – the place simply becomes your new home and family. Leliani is created by caring, solidarity-filled, musical people. Their smiling faces, illuminated with love and respect, inspire the greatest hope. Leliani is the return of life“.

DAUGHTER-IN-LAW OF A LELIANI RESIDENT, IOSEB GOGICHAISHVILI
„My Sosiko“ became simply „Sosiko“ for everyone at Leliani from the very first day. I do not like calling him my father-in-law – I do not like this word, because it feels stripped of its main energy and does not convey its true meaning... That is why he is simply „my Sosiko“, my Gogicha’s father. Remembering the final period of his life is very emotional for me. Before coming to Leliani, we went through a long journey – clinics, fear, hope, disappointment again and despair, when we realised that nothing could be changed. It was then that quiet thoughts about Leliani appeared. These thoughts turned into an open family discussion once we analysed the situation more deeply and looked at our and Sosiko’s hopeless condition without emotion. Leliani was the only solution. There we would receive what we all needed so much – professional help, a sense of safety, constant care from specialists and full control of the process. It was the only island of hope that emerged in despair, to which we could peacefully entrust our loved one. Calmness arrived the moment we opened the door, and Leliani became a refuge for each of us. Fear was replaced by other emotions. We knew that he would be cared for in a way that, despite our greatest desire, we might not have been able to provide ourselves. I will never forget the moment when tears rolled down Sosiko’s eyes as the Leliani girls lovingly called out his name, even though he could no longer express anything. Almost unresponsive, he would gather strength every time, moved by the warm encouragement – „You are doing so well“ – to show his gratitude in any way he could. The nurses are the angels of Leliani. Tireless bees who care for and help patients with all their hearts. They can do everything – from attentive care to any medical procedure. When caring for someone in a critical condition, we often think we are doing our maximum, but believe me, the girls here can do far more. In such moments, love alone is not enough. A patient needs full care – medical supervision, safety and socialisation. Until we join NATO, your security umbrella is Leliani! That is a joke, of course, but more seriously, this place gives you peace of mind, knowing that you are not sending your family member away from home, but taking them on a journey to an island of love. And together with them, you travel too – to the adventure-filled island of Leliani“.
