Activities only happen in the morning. I am not a morning person. We have never had an activity off location. There has never been a therapy animal visit even though I have begged for it. I can't regulate the temperature in my room. Today the heat coming out of my wall heater was 140 degrees and the heater was too hot to touch. The meals are awful. Everything is too salty and frequently our meal choice is a hot dog or hamburger. They put oregano and about a pound of salt in every soup or stew. Chicken soup with green beans and lima beans? There are no birthday celebrations. For example; they could give everyone a cupcake at the end of the month. If it wasn't for the refrigerator in my room I would starve. I went out and bought Clorox cleaner for my bathroom to get rid of the mold in the toilet and tub. The staff is awesome. I have never met nicer harder working people. Almost no one else to talk to.

the staff is so friendly and helpful

It's a nice facility. Although repairs to a faulty door lock and to walls after a freak thunderstorm downpour causing water damage were slow to be repaired. We really liked the administrative staff ([name removed], [name removed]) and especially the Clare Bridge Program Manager ([name removed]), but she resigned when we were moving my mom out, which would have been a concern. [name removed] in particular saved the day at a crisis point with my dad wanting to spontaneously take my mom home when he wasn't dealing well at all with my mom's condition and the change. The attending staff were friendly and seemed to be doing a good job, although understaffed at times. We moved my mom out primarily because of the financial model and high cost. My mom is in a place now with a benevolent fund which guarantees her care through the stages of Alzheimer's even if my parents run short on money eventually.
