10 Best Memory Care Facilities in Fairchance, PA. Page 3

I was in this community for a short time. the staff was nice and caring and helpful. I liked the meals that were served. They do offer activities to the residents that want to participate. This was a nice community and families might want to tour to see if this is what they are looking for.

We're very pleased with the care at this community with one major issue. It's a lovely place, very clean, and the staff are friendly. However, they cannot deal with any sort of intravenous care. Any sort of IV has to be done elsewhere, which may be an issue for some residents.

It took two years before I could make the difficult decision to move Mom out of the house and into care, and I spent the better part of 2022 looking for a place. I visited 20 different places, but chose Linwood for its pastoral setting, well-appointed facility, super staff, array of services, and because it was the only place where Mom could have her own room (a must for my mom). I really like the Memory Care Director and the caregivers who work directly with Mom. They are all kind, caring, patient and understanding. Initially, there were disappointing delays with getting administrative information, such as a countersigned admissions documents. A family "onboarding" folder providing a hard copy of that plus handouts providing information on the prescriptions service (plus whom to call), the medical staff and general services, such as trimming hair and nails, would be informative, useful and welcoming for new families. Overall, above all else, it's the care that really matters, and they deliver. I would recommend this facility to family and friends.
