Tipton Oak Manor

I am a friend or relative of a resident

The facility is clean, and the staff are always friendly and accomodating when I visit. However, they do rely heavily on family member observation and feedback about the patients to make medical decisions for my father. For example, if we notice he is worsening, we must bring it to there attention before action is taken. I realize family feedback is important, since we know my father best. But, I would like for them to use their own observations more, since they see him on a daily basis and we don't. Also there is a lack of activities in the Alzheimers unit. It's good for Alzheimers patients to have a structured environment that keeps them busy and engaged. I would like to see more of that at the facility. Overall, the facility does provide the most important aspects that we looked for. They are clean, the staff is friendly and accomodating, and he is in a safe environment where all of his basic needs are met. He seems to be happy, which of course is the most important thing.
