Emeritus at Seabrook

My uncle lives at this facility and I visit him with my aunt about once a month or so. He seems really happy here. He was living together with my aunt but he just needed more care than she was able to give him, so he moved here. He is doing much better than he was at home and the caregivers seem to really care about him. They don't rush through things and take time to make sure his needs are met. He is pretty active and participates in the various activities they offer - which are lots! He's always doing something and engaging with other residents. It's good to see him so happy and content. He also seems to like the food there and says that the cook should be working at a five star restaurant instead! Pretty good compliment, I think. This seems like a really great facility for him and I would recommend it to other people looking for assisted living homes for their relatives.

I remember working for the local newspaper, I had volunteered to deliver papers to the assisted living facilities because I was considered less intimidating to the elderly people who were staying there. Every time I walked inside, the sitting rooms were decorated with lavish flowers, each "apartment" was labeled with the individual name of the dweller of the estate, the carpets were clean and every one seemed to be happy. It was a very bright contrast from the nursing home my grandmother was staying at as she required more care-- that facility simply felt like a hospital of ignored patients. Here-- you were able to see the care and support that was given to the residents-- they were happy and kind. The elderly left cookies or mints out in order to share their gratitude-- it was simply nice to be in a place where you knew your elderly were pleased, safe, and felt at home.
