10 Best Memory Care Facilities in Waldo, FL. Page 4

My Mother arrived about 10 days before Xmas after selling her home of 20 years. She was scheduled for a 30 day Respite visit but they offered a better deal to go ahead & sign on as a regular resident with her household stuff following her there in late Jan after I returned from my trip. Since many residents go w their families during the holidays, staff levels throughout the facility were lower than usual. There are less activities offered & there is a slimmer staff in the Dining Room as well. It took awhile to get them to hook-up her tv (which you are required to provide for yourself) & ensure it was working properly. That meant many quiet evenings when she was lonely & bored with nothing to do. They did introduce her to other new arrivals & she did make one good friend there. Overall, she thought the place was nice but felt she was not ready for God’s Waiting Room & ended up moving back in with me...

My dad has only been at SR for a month now. Each visit we have made has been met with interest, care, and helpfulness from each individual we have dealt with. This is from the housekeeping personnel to the Executive Director. Laverne at the front desk is always helpful with a smile even though she wears many hats and has lots of questions to answer on the phone calls also. We had been told by two sources that this was a good place for dad. It is. We did expect an adjustment period but seems that in two weeks our dad is participating in activities and is happy when we visit. I see lots of smiles there with personnel and tenants.

My best day was when my mother said "I really like being here....they take good care of me"...then I new I had made the right choice. Thank you for making your residents care a priority. Mom is content and well cared for and that gives me peace of mind. Thank you all for loving my mom too.
