My mother resided at Battle Creek for 18 months until her death. We saw Battle Creek through the days of the pandemic and residential staffing challenges that resulted from it. The personal service and attention to my mother was so consistently terrific and appreciated. Perfect service care is personal and challenging - Battle creeks staff and management were terrific throughout my mothers stay,

January 5, 2023Mike B, thank you for taking the time to leave a five-star review of Battle Creek Memory Care. We appreciate that you recognize the challenges we face in providing perfect personal care, especially coming out of the pandemic. We have and always will strive for nothing but the best care for our residents on a daily basis and we are so happy you and your mother felt that. We will pass along your wonderful comments to our staff. If we can be any more assistance, please let us know. Sincerely, the team at Battle Creek Memory Care
After systematically and carefully researching memory care for my mother and personally visiting and re-visiting seven possible facilities, it was clear that Battle Creek was the top choice. In terms of services provided, staff responsiveness, cleanliness, accessibility to management personnel when needed, etc., all get 5 Gold Stars. My only concern has been some absence of reception staff on the weekends to open the door for visitors. While a phone number is made available for visitors to call on the weekends, and staff have been responsive, when a receptionist is on site, it does greatly facilitate visitor access with less trouble.

My mother [name removed] has gown stronger physically over the six month she has been at Battle Creek and is now also more alert and communicative with her family. The consistent positive attitudes of energies demonstrated by the BC staff, from the front door to the neighborhood event-live staff-have all contributed to her (and our) positive experiences at Battle Creek.

It seems like they have great programs set up for the residents. The community seems to be clean. The room wasn't ready when we came to move my loved one in. I would suggest you follow up with the community to make sure they are ready for your loved one.

We are so glad you chose us to care for your loved one and we appreciate you bringing your questions and concerns to our attention. We have an amazing activities program, thank you for sharing some of the activities you love with us. —the team at Battle Creek Memory Care
Our experience at this community was incredible, we can only give them the most highest remarks. They were incredibly loving, there were nurses and CNA's available at all times. They were always in our loved ones room, and they did anything and everything we needed especially during the covid outbreak. When our loved one had to go onto hospice care, they assigned her to a room where i could come visit and sit with her. They were so careful about not bringing covid into the community, there was just so much love and care. I encourage everyone to go to this community.

I would like to thank the wonderful team at Battle Creek memory care of south Salem for always going above and beyond when it came to my fathers care. My dad had a dementia diagnosis and when he was in his own home, he spent so much time just sitting around confused, angry, and was no longer caring for himself. After only 4 days with Battle Creek of Salem, he had a smile on his face and had already made several friends that he was so excited to tell us about. I had not seen this side of my dad for a really long time and I am forever thankful for the beautiful memories I now have of him in his last months. Also, during such a hard time this last year with covid, I was unable to be at my dads side due to covid restrictions, but with the caring staff updating me and allowing myself and my family to FaceTime with dad, we got to feel as though we were there with him and it made us all feel so good to always see his beautiful big smile. I would like to acknowledge and give a special thank you to the executive director of this amazing memory care, Todd Whitehead, for putting together such an amazing team of employees, for providing such a caring place with such a high service of care and for truly supporting a higher quality of life. You are certainly by far the best memory care and best staff from the front desk employees, to the healthcare team, to the care staff, to the kitchen staff, and all of management you are all amazing!! Thank you very much from myself and my entire family for caring for my dad and treating him with the utmost love and respect.

August 10, 2022Thank you for the five-star review and the title of “A Good Place for a Loved One! If we can be of any assistance, please let us know. Sincerely, the team at Battle Creek Memory Care
I would tell others that the layout of the "neighborhoods" is an ideal arrangement for memory care residents. They have groups of about 20 residents that have common spaces. It facilitates intimacy, good staff control and observation, and allows a socialization that I think does not exist in other apartment like facilities. They have spaces that allow 2 residents to be together in a same room, so for a husband and wife it is like a mini apartment. From a health care standpoint they have excellent nursing and staff care who are very engaged in the residents and their well being.
