My Mom has been memory care for a short time. So I would say that she seems happy and content. The staff is very helpful. She had a bad day and the head Aide came over and talked so sweetly to her! I was amazed how my mom's anxiety just left so quickly! They are a trained staff here. Also, the food is very good and good for her, as she is a diabetic. When my mom first arrived at the Hamptons, her sugar was n the 500's. Since she has been here her sugar is fair to normal. Other drs could not help her with her sugar. She has a nurse 3 times a day and she sees a Dr once a week here. I am very thankful for this place and all those who are helping my mom have a happy and good life.. God bless them!
They have activities but he doesn't participate because he's antisocial. Before his wife died they had actually lived there before so he wanted to come back. They're smaller than most places so they can pay more attention to things, they're also a local company so there was the local touch instead of the corporate attitude.
