Home Cooked Food

Things have fine for us since my wife move into Autumn Leaves. The community is very clean and well kept. The staff has been great and kind to us and very helpful with my wife and all her needs. My wife hasn't partaken in any activities yet, but hopefully she can soon when she feel like it. The food is home cooked and fresh every time they serve the food and that is really nice. This is a good place to move your loved one to. I would recommend it.

so wonderful to work with us

Parkside Manor is going really well. The only thing lacking is the food. My sister is so young and she is used to vegetables that aren't over cooked and more salads. They are really open to working with us though to make it best suited to her needs. Her apartment is beautiful and feels so much like home. They were so wonderful to work with us. Even in her daily routine they have worked outside of the box to keep her engaged.

doing a fine job

At Fox Point they seem to be doing a fine job. It is very expensive but they are taking good care of mom. The staff are very cooperative. It seemed to me that the lady that was in charge there got a new job so now there are new people. It makes me wonder how much that goes on. So I do wonder about the turnover rate. Sometime there are some staff that are unavailable and tending to other residents and there is only one staff left to attend to the crowd of residents. That isn't a big concern and is only for about 10 minutes length of time. Everybody seems very caring and loving and patient. They are even really patient with her husband that comes to visit. My hats off to them.

We LOVED the Bellevue

I'm embarrassed it took me so long to write. However, my family visited Bellevue back in April. We were looking for a potential new home for my Uncle Jack. Unfortunately, his situation will not allow for him to live at the Bellevue. I want to say, as a family we are so disappointed because we LOVED.. the facility, and the hospitality that John offered to us as we toured the facility. We got a feeling from everyone that my Uncle would be well cared for and that he would be welcomed into a new "family" environment. We have to extend a special Thank you to John for making us feel like we were all at home at the Bellevue.

needed more care than they could provide

My auntie is no longer at Gracewood of Hugo. When she got here I didn't know she was not doing well. She was only in this facility an hour when they realized she needed more care than they could provide. She had to go into a nursing home. She needed 24 hour nursing care. Shelly is terrific here. She is just a gem. They have a really nice facility. I was sorry that my auntie couldn't stay here.

My mom has been at Fox point a little over a month now. She is very positive about the whole experience. Her exact comment - "How could you not like it, they do everything for you." From my perspective, she is still making the adjustment from living in her own home, but continues to have independence and autonomy while living in a positive caring environment. This is a plus for her and her children.
