The Lamp Alzheimer's Residential Care Facility

I am/was a resident of this facility

The staff that I worked with were great people who cared deeply about our residents. It was very sad some days to work there because every resident had Alzheimer's and couldn't remember much. We had some really great resident who were happy go lucky and others who just wanted to be left alone. We had daily activities for the residents which included but not limited to games, religious services, dances, and other special events. I must say that even though I speak highly of this facility there were some down sides as well. For one I did not like the way the facility smelled. I wish they used some kind of air fresheners to hide or somewhat mask the smell of old people. There also could have been better food for the residents. There wasn't much of a variety of food for them. They pretty much just ate the same meals every week. Maybe adding a menu for the residents so they can choose what they would like to eat instead of having it planned for them. Overall, the facility was usually very clean inside and out and most residents and workers were happy to be there.
