I like the feeling of the hominess here and my apt is very nice, the staff is very nice and they are attentive too. I enjoy going to the dining room for my meals and they offer 4 choices at each meal which is nice. I really like living in this community.
Both my Mother and now my Mother in law have been residents of Otsego Place. It has given my husband and I a great feeling of comfort knowing these two ladies had the best of care. The staff are like family, the food is excellent, and there are lots of activies for them to participate in. This is an independent living facility so they can come and go as they please. There are different levels of care so that if Mom has some issues you can taylor the care to her needs. Yes it costs more for each level of care, but good care is not cheap and we want the best for our parents.
I am no expert on what care should be like. I see people that are in pretty bad shape that require a lot of attention, in my opinion, questionable if they shouldn't be in skilled nursing instead. But what do I know!! Most of the workers try hard to be accommodating, but the shortage of help puts a load on all of them. Unfortunately, this is the world we live in today. The place is clean and does not smell. I wouldn't know if the food was good or not.. my mom eats and does not complain. Keelson was very accommodating when we reached a crisis point and needed a room. I don't know how often activities are encouraged. However the activities director is good with the residents. I would recommend this facility to others. I would recommend this facility to others.
