Types of care available in Abilene, TX
We are more at peace knowing Mom is safe, secure and well loved at Lyndale. Lyndale is a beautiful, clean and the staff is specially trained in memory care.
I would recommend this place. The therapist is excellent and we like each one that has worked with him. They helped him get on his feet. They are all friendly. The nurses are kind and efficient. The ladies clean once a day. At night they take the trash out and they change things out in the bathroom. The meals are healthy and fine. We have enjoyed the meals. We have good communication and the social worker who talks with us and we had an action plan meeting.
I cannot rate the meals and dining because it did not meet my schedule, and when it comes to the activities I cannot comment on that also because I have not been informed of the activities they have going on. I am in independent living status, and the cottages that I live in are very nice. Based on the experience I have had so far with Wisteria Place, I would recommend the community to other families.
