Margaret T Morris Center

My mother is living at Margaret T Morris Center, and we're very happy with it so far. The staff has been wonderful and the facility looks very clean. They've been great. They have activities like exercise, and in the summer they'll take them outside.

Margaret T Morris Center offers activities throughout the day, whether it's exercise, stories, or people that come in with pets. The caregiver staff is considerate. They're assigned to a small number of residents around the clock and the intake person, Melody, is marvelous. She's helping us understand where my wife is at and the level of care they give her. All of the staff I've interacted with have been magnificent. They're friendly and the place is devoted to dementia care. My wife is in a semi-private room, which means that she's sharing it with a roommate. She's never said anything negative about sharing it with her roommate and it's certainly an ample room. I could bring in stuff if I wanted to. I've brought some pictures, flags, and rewards. The person on the interface was very happy to arrange them on her wall and they've got a little memory touch outside in each of the rooms. There are ice cream socials twice a week, trivia contests, bingo, and so on. If you don't want to participate, that's OK, but their goal is to keep people out of the rooms, keep them socializing, and keep them intellectually active. She periodically gets a haircut, and it always looks pretty good. They have pedicure services and regular care consultations with the nurse and the intake person. There's a nice little dining area with four tables that will hold up to four people and the food is quite good. I see the menus every day and they have big meals at noon, and it's always interesting stuff that I would eat. They have a beautiful garden and a veranda so that people could be outdoors in good weather. They'll do some of their group activities out there too, and there's a koi pond where I spend a lot of time with my wife. It's relatively new and they just had a big remodeling of the place. It's impeccably maintained as well. I tried to figure out what the cost would be, but it's a nonprofit, so I can't imagine doing it any cheaper than they are.
