Independent Living
It is exceptional! Not a "value" place but exceptional care for the price! I like that my mom is content, more self sufficient in many ways, mentally more than anything. She feels respected and knows her preferences for the way things are done are listened to even if they can't always be accommodated 100%. Balfour is consistent in saying "This is your home. It is our job to learn who you are and how you like things done." Great philosophy and often works that way. They were willing to adapt the room to her needs. They hung the draperies from her home in her room! Adaptations to the bathroom were accepted. Food is exceptional, with a kitchen/chef/ and food staff in each living area...independent, assisted and memory care. She has a menu with a choice of really decent food for each meal. In other places, she supposedly had a choice, but there was never really a choice, food was prepared across the building and wheeled through the hallways on carts, etc.. Balfour's food service is designed like a restaurant. My mom does not participate in activities, nor does she take advantage of things like they're wonderful gym facilities… But they are there for those who are interested. They also have in-house PT which is also a plus!
My experience at Oakhaven Manor has been truly exceptional! A very relaxed, loving and family atmosphere. I feel totally comfortable.
My friend is a resident here at Glacier Hills. The staff at this facility are very friendly and helpful. Everything has been great for my friend. I would recommend this facility to family and friends.
