Open concept has a family feel
The value is excellent. I am very satisfied with the price. It is a very good community and I like the open concept they have, which is more of a family feel. It gives the residents a sense that others are going through this too and they can look out for each other. The ones who are earlier on in their diagnosis will wheel around and in small ways help out the older people. It gives them a sense of purpose and unity and helps with their own grief. The value goes up in great measure because of things like that, because of the family atmosphere and the level of care and compassion. The staff are very vigilant. The technicians who pay attention to the residents do a lot. They are keeping her room as clean as they can and making sure they are all clean and presentable. The people they have doing the maintenance are terrific. There is a man who is very good with the residents so they can ask him for whatever they need. He is always busy and racing from one end to the other. He is a hard worker and I think that things are fixed and repainted in a timely manner. It always looks put together and nice in there. He is also very caring, so they have chosen wisely as far as the maintenance workers. In general, it is clean and they make an effort to keep it clean. I can hear them walkie-talkie each other if someone makes a mess or something has happened and they are on it and deal with it discreetly. One thing I really appreciated is that they took her to an Ash Wednesday service. To feed her spiritually, I can't even tell you how important that is to me. My mom has been very happy with the dining, and in part that's because of the service. They are compassionate.
