St. Catherine's Village

I have had two grandparents live at St. Catherine's, and both have had fairly good experiences. The facility itself is very desirable; there is a lake, and the buildings are all new and well maintained. My grandfather spent the end of his life in Campbell Cove, the Alzheimer's facility. The staff were very nice, and seemed very interested in his well being. The room he stayed in resembled a small hotel room which is certainly better than the hospital feel that a lot of nursing homes can have. There were frequent events and activities that seemed to give the area a community feel, animals were brought in, local high school choirs would come sing, and there were tvs and activities available a lot of the time for residents. Overall it was a very nice place.My grandmother also lives at St. Catherine's now, she began in the independent living area and has since moved to assisted living. The independent living area was basically a small apartment, which allowed her an independent but safe lifestyle. The only downside was that the facility is very large, and she was very far from the dining hall. As her health has deteriorated, she has been moved to the assisted living area. This part of the facility is a little more like a traditional nursing home. However, there are still many amenities available, and the room she stays in is fairly nice. The staff in the area seem more focused on treatment than they were at Campbell Cove, but they are still polite and understanding.Overall I think this is a fine facility. From what I understand the price is fairly high, but if you have the means it certainly exceeds expectations and offers a nice place for seniors to live and be cared for.

St. Catherine's has a wonderful reputation of caring for seniors at all levels from independent living to nursing home care.
