My Mom is Happy There!

reviewed on: 08/26/2013 by Sandy

My mom is very happy there. We checked out 3 different places and the price of this one was right in the middle so I think it's fair. For what she's getting I don't think it's overpriced. She's in the retirement seciton but even though she's in that care part they've been very good. If she does have an issue like she wanted a little wedge for her door because she has a scooter and that was not a problem. She's embraced some of the activities. The only problem is she's not a morning person so she's having trouble going to the store because they go kind of early in the morning. I wish they had a later afternoon trip. She's happy there. She has a 2 bedroom apartment. She does take advantage of the meals which start at 8 and goes until 3:30. Then they take an hour break to reorganize for dinner which starts at 4:30 and goes until 6:30. They have coffee, water, cookies and fresh fruit out all day. The grounds are beautiful!

I really liked this place. It was important to me to have the 3 levels of care provided; I was impressed with the memory care wing when I toured it. Overall, rooms are decent size, I liked the staff, activities looked good. I liked the way they monitored meds for assisted living with computers and scanned photos. Loved the location! Beautiful grounds. Older building, but well kept. Rooms were the biggest I saw.

Best Memory Care

reviewed on: 09/29/2018 by Lyn S.

My stepmom lived in their memory care unit for over three years. I am so grateful to their wonderful, caring staff that kept her spotless and treated her like family. It is an excellent value given the facilities and staffing. I was not very impressed when she was in the regular assisted living section. Seemed like staff was unhappy or just didn't want to engage much with her. Perhaps they aren't trained to deal with memory problem issues.

The Director was friendly and informative; directed lots of questions directly at mom; common areas on first floor and a rec area on separate floor but we didn't see it. older bldg so not as spacious as MG but mom saw spacious as "Big". Floor plans/hallways might be confusing for mom; rooms were sized right. showers were walk in with a slight step; transp provided to residents for sunday services. meds can be set up by us and mom take them on her own as long as Dr says ok; 4 brnr stoves in all units; electric cadet wall heaters; anytime dining; attched independent living units may be option for mom until she needs more care - besides care when needed, we need to figure financial requirments for insurance; the Director was the first person to bring up diversity in [removed] 77 assist living apts/144 independent apts; 2 LPNs til 8:30pm (2shift with an overlap); RN works 2hrs/day 5 days a week and on call 24/7; Assist Dir is also an LPN; 3 caregivers per floor; 2 med techs.
