"My mom is living in Mt. Carmel Community at The Village. She went in first to assisted living and then ended up going to memory care. She loves it there. She wasn't happy when they moved her into memory care because now she's locked up. The other day they were playing chair volleyball and they sent me pictures. I just love the head nurse that's over that area. She's awesome. We had a meeting with her, I think it was Thursday and she was talking about Alzheimer's and where Mom's at right now because Mom's been going downhill, and we just can't afford to keep her there anymore. It's so expensive over there. So it's like over $2,000 cheaper at the other place. The room at Mount Carmel is quite a bit smaller, but they're always clean and nice. They do all the cleaning and stuff, and she's got plenty of room. She doesn't need a big room. She doesn't sleep in a bed. She hasn't for years because she can't move in the morning if she sleeps in the bed, she can't sleep flat. She has a recliner she sleeps in, so she doesn't need a whole lot of room. We've eaten there many times. It's really good food. They have a library, a film room, and a gym. But I don't think they take the residents over there. They also have physical therapy and it's there if the residents want to use it. But, most of the time, I don't see anybody there. They have a card room, but you can play cards anywhere. They have all those puzzles and they have activities. If they're having a group come to sing or whatever, they'll take them out of memory care down to the regular population so they can enjoy it too. It's a very positive atmosphere."
