Granite View Adult Care Home

I am grateful that I was referred to the Granite View Adult Care Home when looking for a small care home for my mother. The owner and staff are compassionate and caring providing a nurturing, safe environment. They have also been helpful to me during a very stressful time and keep me informed. The caregivers are skilled and kind handling my mother’s dementia behavior, and she is content. Would highly recommend.

The staff isn't friendly, I could feel tension in the house shorty after I walked in. I happened to be there at meal time and seen them dumping old food out of plastic bags and reheating it in the microwave. I also noticed more food in a bag sitting on the counter looked frozen, for another meal I'm assuming. They said all their food is precooked then reheated. I don't know about you but fresh food has always tastes better to me. The residents seemed to be very unsocial just sitting around like zombies. I'm not happy with what I've seen here. Not the worst place I have heard of, but not where I want to end up.

Facility is very impressive in a great surrounding area of granite boulders all around. The grounds are immaculate. I decided to wonder about by myself as if I was visiting someone, instead of a tour. The place was very clean and neat. However, I felt that the planned organization and schedualing of events was very detailed. It was very structured and there was always something to do. It would definetly tire me - I like a more leisured pace and some privacy. The residents are very much encouraged to participate in as many activities as they can. I even heard a couple of the residents say to each other how tired they were. If a person likes type of environment that is busy, busy, busy then this is the place for her/him.
