Memory Care
I have recommended it already. It is a locked memory unit. This facility is 3 floors and the memory care is located on the first floor. The staff communicate on email with any questions and concerns for my loved one. Billing is setup with automatic payments.
My biggest concern is trying to get a schedule and routine together for mom. Now that mom is there, I have to find things out when I am up there visiting or when I call. They do not proactively call me to give me progress reports, and I wish they would. That is my biggest concern. That said, they work extremely well with the residents, keep them well cared for and busy. The staff is very friendly and polite. I really think they are a top notch place.
My brother and I had a very good experience when we toured the facility. Staff members were very friendly and accommodating. We found the facility to be very clean and well maintained. The staff answered all our questions and concerns for mom's care and needs. They did their care assessment and confirmed they would be able to take care of mom. The prices were in the ballpark with other facilities and lower on some of the items that mom needed for her care. Food smelled good, and did not find any strange odors. Activities weren't as important as mom is 95 and cannot participate.
