Marian Manor of Stafford

Marian Manor of Stafford is where we have my mother-in-law now. We are very pleased with it. She has dementia, she’s Japanese, she's 87, and she’s a difficult placement. After about the first day or two, she had some big adapting to do, but after that, she settled right in. She’s quite happy. She’s made a little circle of friends, and she’s happy as a lark. It’s everything that we could not provide for her at home. The place is a little bit older, so it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles like some of the new ones. The care that she gets is fabulous. It’s just a small amount of people -- 39 or less -- and they all socialize with each other. They do everything together so they don’t have an opportunity to get lonely. It was a good fit because the place was cozy and quaint, with hummingbird feeders outside. The surroundings are kind of off into the forest area. It was more like home. When we placed her, they asked us what food she preferred. They went out of their way to accommodate her. The meals look awesome -- much better than where she was before -- and she’s happy to eat them. She loves the food, and she’s eating more regularly. The cook is from the Philippines, and in the afternoon, she makes my mother-in-law’s favorite green tea in a pot so she can have afternoon tea. That’s something that she’s done all her life, so it’s been really good.

The people at Marian Manor of Stafford seemed to be very happy. There was a dog there that was a nice feature. It was a nice facility. The staff was very accommodating. The nurse was showing us around, and she was very knowledgeable.

My mother has been a resident of this facility for more than a year. As many others have stated, the care is exceptional and personal. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the staff and the facility. Thank you for taking care of my mother in such a loving, caring and professional way.

Mom has been in Marian Manor of Stafford for over two months, and I'm very pleased with the treatment she is receiving now. It is less expensive, and a lot of people live there. There's a chapel, and mom is Catholic. I very much like the staff because they are very personable and kind to all of the patients, and I like the interaction that they have together. There are nurses instead of just med techs. The place is clean and presentable but not fancy; they put the emphasis on the health of their people. They have a TV in their community room and Mom has her own recliner chair. I know she is being well cared for in this place.

My father is in Marian Manor, and everything seems fine so far. I haven't had any problems with them. My father shared a room with the guy; a couple of beds, and a couple of dressers. It’s nice-enough, clean, and spacious. The food seems okay. He hasn’t complained. I don’t have any complaints at all so far, either.
