I could not find anyplace that would take both my patents who need daily care. I met with Elizabeth who was just wonderful. We managed to work out finances that worked for us. The staff is wonderful. The building is dated and they are working on that but it is immaculate and a very homelike atmosphere. I leave after visiting knowing I can count on their care and expertise.
For the level of care that they provide I think Danforth Adult Care is an excellent place, but it won't be the best fit for everyone. They are an assisted living facility, so if your loved one does not need to be watched closely and just needs some general assistance this is a very nice place. The staff is friendly and professional, and the administrator has been very helpful! Unfortunately my loved one needs a bit more care than what they provide, so it has not been the best fit for us. There is also an alarm system that the staff use to keep track of the residents that goes off fairly often, and is fairly loud, which has been stressful for my loved one who suffers from PTSD.
