Memory Care
The Verandah at Graywood Lake is a nice place. My mom seems to be happy. The room sizes are good. The food is good. They have limited outdoor space for the residents. Overall it has been a positive experience.
Just wish I had moved him sooner. We really like the hominess. I felt like I was a part of the family. I was always welcome to dine with him. His last meal was Thanksgiving and I fed him and I also had a plate. He enjoyed their food. They quickly learned his likes and dislikes. They do need better recliners for the ones they keep in the great room to watch. We thought we liked another care facility but when we saw SO, we knew we wanted [name removed] here.
My mother moved into Brookdale, and overall, it has been a worthwhile experience. While the nighttime people aren’t quite as attentive as I’d like them to be, the daytime staff are very good about keeping the residents involved and active. They have lots of activities available to keep the residents stimulates such as sing-alongs, walk about activities, puzzles, and games. The community is also clean. They are doing some renovations now like painting and hanging new light fixtures, but overall, they do maintain a clean place, and I feel the renovations speak to their concerns of keeping the community safe and well maintained. I’d definitely recommend Brookdale to others.
