10 Best Memory Care Facilities in Waverly, MO

It is always a heartbreaking situation to have to place one's ailing parent in a memory care unit. Mom lived out her days with the staff singing to her and smiling with her. They encouraged her to be active and move her extremities. She was well fed and well taken care of. No nursing home is perfect and things sometimes get missed. But I am so glad I chose The Villages for my mother. She was happy and smiled a lot. She got a lot of attention from the great staff, the activities director and the social worker. Dementia is never ever fun and watching your parent decline is one of the worst things in life. My mothers dementia is the heartbreak of my life. The only saving grace was having her in a facility that was beautiful, that treated her well----where she could live out her days among those who could care for her better than I. She was close, I could always visit and she was well taken care of. What more can I ask for?

Every time we go into Blue Hills, it seems very clean. There is always staff on site making sure the space is spotless. Everyone on staff is very friendly and helpful. They are good people! Blue Hills is a great value and the care is wonderful for the price. My mother has fallen a couple of times and the care giving staff has always been right there to immediately help her. We personally have not eaten on-site, however we have seen the dinner plates and the food always looks good. They clearly eat well here! Blue Hills is a great place and we are very comfortable having my mother there!

My loved one is currently a resident at Norterre and everything has been great for her at this facility except for maybe the food. However, I do know that they are working on improving that area. This facility does an excellent job of communicating with me regarding all aspects of my loved one's care. I would definitely recommend the facility to others. The staff have been very helpful and communicative regarding the status of my loved one. This is the only facility I saw that has a small kitchenette in each room. It allows us to keep snacks, beverages and treats for my loved one in her room. Also, the feel of the room is more of a home rather than just a room because of the small kitchen area. The move in process was fine, except we attempted it during the dinner hour. Because she is in Memory Care, the area is secured so we often had to wait for staff to let us in and out , while they were busy with assisting residents with their dinner. The facility is clean and more importantly my loved one is always clean and her hair is clean. I think the staff are good people trying to help take care of their residents.
