The quality of the building itself and the care really stood out to our family. The friendliness of the staff members is a 5+, we aren't to sure on the meals but everything in regards to the activities has been pretty good so far.

Some of the staff members are absolutely amazing, and some are difficult. The activities are pretty good, they do keep our loved one busy, and help keep her in a routine. Some care givers really tune into what she needs and likes, for example she enjoys keeping busy with chores, so they will have her wipe down the tables and set the tables herself.

WM is a well run facility that was an excellent choice for my mom. Mom is happy and has found it easy to meet others and make friends. Many varied activities (mental, physical & social) are offered that mom participates in heavily. Mom is an avid reader and WM has a nice library on site. The staff is very responsive and friendly. The food is tasty and family is invited to participate in holiday dinners in the dining room. There are also other activities that family is invited to attend. The most important thing is that mom feels safe at WM.
