RoseWood Village at Hollymead Town Center

Right now, I am going to consider Rosewood. It is one of my favorites. The appearance is very good, they seem to be on top of who's coming in and what you are there for, and they take care of whatever the needs are of the people coming in. The residents seem happy. Of course by me being a caregiver, I speak to everybody when I go in, but they seem to be happy. I did talk to several of them, and they said that they really like the facility and that they take good care of them. I think right now, Rosewood would be my first choice and probably my only choice.

My father lived in RoseWood for a month. Half of the family decided that they were going to put him in there, and as far as I'm concerned, the only thing they're worried about is the bottom dollar. Too expensive is an understatement. The staff was fine. It's not about the staff; it's about the owners. They can't even afford real eggs. They serve powdered eggs. They took him out to lunch in a restaurant, but for my dad, there was nothing to do except watch Traffic on 29. They got a bunch of activities in there, but that's not my dad. They spent more on making that place look good than they did on procuring decent food.

I went to RoseWood Village to visit. They only had single rooms, which were nice, but they didn't have a living area. They did not have anything available that was big enough for both of my parents, and that was not going to work out for us. It was a very lovely facility, kind of new, and had a shop-like atmosphere. The staff seemed very nice. I did not meet the hands-on staff per se, but more management-type staff. They had an activities calendar with a lot of things on there. Some residents actually had their own vehicles.

I had been at Rosewood Village for a year. What I like best about it was that there are lots of activities there, and the villa is newer and well-decorated. The staff is good. However, they only have one item of food everyday.
