We picked this community, because t's fairly new and is a nice location. They also had an opening where other places had a 2+ year waiting list. He is very happy there and has made friends and is involved in weekly activities like bingo and left right center.
I'm a nurse and really appreciated the care my loved one received. I was impressed with the size of the facility. They have a limited amount of residents and really get to know the people living there. They knew if you didn't eat meals or get out and about. The RN and CNAs were in contact with me very often because my mother in law was sick and going down hill. We actually had hospice care at the facility. They went above and beyond.
