McLoughlin Place Senior Living

Overall, I really love the place and I think the people care. I am very appreciative of them. The things that I have reported have been taken care of in a timely manner by maintenance. The distribution of the medications is pretty stellar. From my vantage point I would be very happy with the activities. My husband doesn't have many expectations of the activities. He is not a joiner. They do occasionally have an activity or two that he would like to join in on but I have to point it out to him. I am really quite happy that he is there. I know that he is loved there.

Since my mom has been at the community I think the services have been good. The dining service is good; they are really friendly and nice. She has fun with the activities she participates in. The cleaning is mostly good. The laundry has been great. The care staff is really great with her.

She says it still isn't home, but she seems happy. If she wasn't happy, she wouldn't be there. Sebastian in maintenance is excellent. He is always ready to lend a hand. All the residents know him and are comfortable with him. Mom has never been a participator, but she's starting to dip her toe in! She has always been socially resistant, but now she talks about her friends and the things they do! She'll stay downstairs after lunch and read or talk to people, and that has never been in her comfort zone. It's like she's blossoming around other people, especially people her own age. They have a good variety of activities, and they're having a spring dance tonight! It gave me a lot of confidence knowing that she was there.

It's pretty fair; it seems to be pretty in line with other facilities I checked into. I looked at quite a few and talked to quite a few so I think it's pretty good, it's reasonable. I think everything for the situation and the lifestyle the elderly have, it's very clean and modern, it's a very nice place. The maintenance man Randy is awesome, he does great. So far, the caregivers seem to be attentive to my mom's needs and it seems like they're good. The apartment has been perfect for her.

From what I've experienced it was good in the dining room. It's hard to get my aunt out to participate in activities, but there are good activities for her. I think the caregivers have been doing a great job. They've been very knowledgeable, whenever I have a question they seem to be able to answer any question I have no matter who is on duty.

I don't have a lot of interaction with the folks in management, but when I have called in, they have been very responsive. I have never had a single concern about any of my interactions with any of the staff. My mom partakes in some of the activities, and she seems to be happy with that. She seems to becoming a bit more solitary than wanting to participate, and she doesn't really go out on any of the excursions anymore. You know, when you start to get memory loss, you get a little more nervous about unfamiliar places. I go to her room and visit her, and she still has the crafts sitting around and tells me she made them at craft time, so I think she enjoys the one she is going to. She loves the socials - anytime there is ice cream, she goes to those. She goes to some of the Bible studies.
As for her room, my mom loves her housekeeper. I think maintenance has been fine. The property is appealing. It has good curb appeal, and it's clean. They do a good job keeping the flower pots up. I know they do checkups if somebody doesn't come down. I have never received a phone call from anybody there saying she called, or there was an emergency, or any issue. Overall, it has been great and I have had no worry about her.

It's the best place she's been at. We've been very pleased and my mother is happier than she's ever been. I think they have activities but we can't get her to go do them. I think they have many things they encourage her to do. She definitely has some aides she just loves. I have no complaints!
