Golden Sands Retirement Home

I had the occasion to visit a client at this facility. This is one of the smaller facilities that I have visited in Broward County, but no matter. The clients that I observed at the facility seemed less functional and more dependent on the staff for assistance. The facility itself is very clean, bright and cheery. There is a peaceful feeling that I had while there. As there are less clients in the ALF, the staff are able to give more individual attention, as opposed to putting a client in front of a television and leaving them. The staff are very focused on the clients. A staff person always seemed to be right at hand for any assistance that someone may need, whether that means getting a glass of water or giving them a book to work in. The staff seem very dedicated and that speaks volumes.

I went to visit a friend whom I haven't seen in years. I was glad to know my friend was being well taken care of at this facility. Everyone seemed nice and my friend seemed to be quite happy. When I first walked in, one of the volunteers at the facility asked if I was here to visit someone. As soon as I replied yes, she directed me to her room. I thought she was very kind. I stayed with my friend for a couple hours. I joined her in some television fun. A couple of staff members came in to check up on her. They seemed quite attentive. Their energy was high which was very impressive. I had a good time and I was very impressed with the level of service they provide.
