My wife is a resident of The Residence at Great Woods. I don't think she's had a shower in more than a week. I noticed her teeth were getting orange, not yellow. I started bringing in a toothbrush there. I don't know what happened to the toothpaste we bought but that's not there. No one was brushing their teeth anyhow. As soon as I get there after she eats lunch, I take it down to a room. I brought a water pick and an electric toothbrush and I used the water pick, and then I have her use the toothbrush and I can see the results already. It's much better, but they're not doing it, I'm doing it. We had three days in a row where we didn't have any activity director and another person who's in charge of the whole unit had us watching documentaries and stuff, and that didn't keep anybody occupied. There's a lot of old people here that could care less, and half of them don't understand what they're looking at. I know my wife doesn't. We had this one girl, she features music, and she has them all up singing, and that's very entertaining. That keeps them all occupied. They have a thing where you do painting, but my wife doesn't do paintings. She doesn't do anything with that. So nothing we can do about that. They play bingo and that keeps them all interested, but some of them don't know what they're doing. I help my wife and then I help the person out. Sometimes I'm helping the person across from me, but that's not a problem. I don't see that as a problem. It's just there's not only one person doing it, and if you could run around the room watching everybody make sure they put their chip on the number, and I don't mind doing that. The place looks very nice. It's kept fairly clean. There's plenty of room to walk around.

The tour I had at The Residence at Great Woods was very thorough. We were shown all of the different amenities and the people were extremely friendly and very open in terms of what was available. We just got a very nice, warm feeling about the place. The two women we spoke with were very helpful and made the whole situation a lot easier. They have a deluxe studio and a one-bedroom. They have a lot of activities during the day. There's bingo, puzzles, movies, and a van that will take them to local stores and to the doctors. They have a dining area that's very large, laundry, and a salon. You can be as independent as you want to be and then if you need assistance, they're there to help you.

We have chosen The Residence at Great Woods. The place is gorgeous. The Reflections unit is brand new. My mother and father will be living together there, which is very important to them. They adapt everything to each resident. My father has dementia, so they will be working with that. The whole building is set up in a big rectangle, so no matter what happens, if he walks out and walks around, he will always end up back where he started. In the middle, they have a country kitchen where the people have cooking demonstrations. They have an art studio for my mother, who's an artist. She also paints. And the list goes on and on in what they have. Their staff is just amazing. They are well-suited for people with dementia or memory problems, which is a big part of what we need. They have two bedrooms, but my parents didn't want that. This is like one large bedroom like a family room. There's a little kitchen thing with a microwave. They have a salon and a courtyard, which is also completely fenced in for my father. The walkway is once again a rectangle, so he always comes back to where he started. The staff has been awesome. I tried their meal and it's very good. We had lunch there. I didn't have anything fancy, and my mother just had coffee and a muffin, and everything was good. After the tour, they gave us cookies, which they make right there, and they were fantastic. It's set up exactly the way my father needs it. It's very impressive.

We chose The Residence at Great Woods for my mother. Part of the reason was its location because it's close to my house. It is also very clean and very nice. They were just doing all the rooms over. The price is very comparable to the other ones around, and it is just a very beautiful place there. The staff is lovely, warm, and welcoming. I just had a good feeling when I walked in there. My mother has been in there for three weeks now. Everyone has been so awesome, and I don't worry that she's there because there's people checking on her all the time. She is very still very independent, but there's always people checking on her. If she doesn't come down to lunch, they come up and say, 'Oh, you're going to lunch today.' I've just been very happy with how they're treating her, and they've given her independence. The staff members are very friendly and knowledgeable. Even to the visitors coming in, they are very friendly. They have a calendar of activities every day with probably maybe four or five different things. There's music, movies, crafts, gardening, and field trips to go to the store and stuff. A new owner bought it, and they are re-doing everything. My mother has just moved into a newly renovated apartment.

Wingate Residences at Norton looked good. I didn't find anything wrong with it or anything that I didn't like about it. The lady was nice enough to show me around. Everything was nice inside the place. It was presentable. I didn't see any issues. I didn't see any residents being neglected or anything like that. Everybody seem to be in a good mood. The dining room looked good, and there were some people helping with the baking. They had several different floor plans and room sizes.

The rooms at Wingate Residences at Norton were very nice. They had a library, activity room, a room for family celebrations, a PT/OT room, and a hair salon. The people there seemed really nice, and the place was well maintained. I saw a studio room, a single room, and a double room.
