Wellington Place of Maryville

Most of the staff at this assisted living was friendly. However, there were some that I didn't care for. The residents seemed to be very bored not having any activities most days that I visited. Lunch and dinner was their highlight of the day. They seemed to have a good variety of food throughout week. The food was very well cooked and quite tasty. Aside from lack of activities and unfriendliness of some of the staff, the facitlity was very clean in the main part of the building. This assisted living facility also included a dementia wing. This area of the building was very restricted. The residents had a very small tv room where they were all piled up on one another. This seemed to be the only stimulation for these residents. Most of the time there was only one personal care attendant to tend to this wing so there were a lot of problems with resident agitating each other.

This is a highly well run facility that is one of the best I have seen. The staff is highly qualified and they are truly attentive in the Assisted Living and Memory Care Unit. Both units are clean and well maintained. The residents in the Assisted Living Side were bright, alert and active. They were engaged and the staff left no room for them to be depressed and isolated. The Memory care unit is well run and they have many measures in place for those that wonder. The staff is kind and attentive to those who are in the throes of Dementia and Alzheimer’s. This is a daunting time for those seniors and the staff here is well trained and more over compassionate, that is the most important component.

The Assisted Living facility was very nice and clean. The Marketing Director was pleasant and informative. The companion care unit(memory)was not as impressive. It was clean enough but the residents seemed very sad and out of touch. (maybe this is the way most places are)At the moment we are inclined to move our Mother to the Assisted Living part of the facility and have a lunch visit planned.
