Senior Apartments
My father felt very isolated there as they did not have many activities he was interested in. He did not like the food but the personnel were friendly to him and helped him to meals and gave him his medications but otherwise he did not see them very often as he did not leave his room. He was 99 years and it was hard for him to wheel himself around the facility. Much of the problem was his age and his ability to help himself as he should have and the lack of activities.
The staff is amazing. I just wish there were more activities for patients with dementia. I wish there had been more activities that encouraged him to use what facilities he still had.
The apartments are very clean and cozy. Well maintained, the staff is friendly and compassionate. Management is also hands on with residents and ensures they continue to thrive. They set a good tone with the employees which contribute to a good atmosphere.
