Types of care available in Afton, IA
Fun, vibrant, safe and clean. The staff treat your parent/family member with respect and kindness. Not a cold sterile old folks home. A place they can still be adults and not just another number.
Mom's been in the memory care wing for a couple of months now. She is getting along very well. Seems like she's not getting out of her room as much as I thought they would. I don't know how mom responds to them though. She does like it there. She enjoys the food and doesn't want for anything.
This is a very good place. When my loved one came in he was one of the lowest functioning people. He was wheelchair bound, slumped to one side and unable to sit up or speak. When he moved out he was one of the highest funtioning. Vicki Lemke, and the head nurse, the management, they are all awesome. I am very appreciative of them and the care they took.
