King's Gardens Campus of Perry Lutheran Homes
5.0

In January, my family was asked to move my father to a locked memory care facility. I checked multiple facilities and after visiting Perry Lutheran homes, I felt like that would be home for him. When we moved our father, he instantly seemed very content and at home. I can't say enough about the staff at Perry Lutheran homes! They Make sure they're residents have a fun time and are very caring of them!

Overall they really are working hard to try to meet the individual needs of the senior individual. My mom has, for example, gluten intolerance, so they're working with her to accommodate that with their meals. They've been willing to work with her in terms of unique needs, or even just billing and cost needs that she has. I think they do a really good job for being a fairly small facility of really caring about the needs of each individual. The only shortfalls have been: 1) what everybody has been facing - reasonable turnover in staff. And 2) some maintenance items that continue to have a lag in getting addressed. But overall, the care for the individuals and customization to meet individual needs as well as willingness to work with my mom in terms of cost, etc., has really been quite good. Overall I would recommend it.

My Dad loves Swan Place. Whenever I speak to him, he can't tell me enough how friendly and caring everyone is at Swan Place. He loves the meals and even after a year of being there, he still can't believe they "They even do my laundry and they keep my apartment clean, too!!" Our entire family has peace of mind that Dad is safe, happy, fed nutritious meals and is in such a loving environment.
