"We toured Keelson Harbor for mom. It was good, we learned a lot. It's quite big and very nice. My sister was ready to move in herself. But we don't know yet as far as what mom's going to need; it may be a little big for her. The staff was wonderful to talk to. We were there for like an hour, and she was very good. People were dining at the time. We saw some people, or a couple of residents and it seems they like it there. It's very homey, very clean, and very nice. The apartments were wonderful. They have a lot of crafts and things going on for people. They keep them quite busy, and they're very willing to listen to what your care your person would want to do. They want to hear what they would want to do. They're very good about finding things to keep people busy, things they like. I think it would be great. There was a room, a little shop where they could buy cards, and they could make popcorn. There's a pool table place, and a place for playing cards or playing games, or whatever. It's very nice. There was exercise, it's good."

"My husband was put in Pleasant View to get rehab because he got sepsis and he got really sick. About a week after he was in there, he got Covid, but he's home now. I just got him on Sunday, and he's doing OK. He was at Pleasant View for two months. I really liked the people in there. I could tell they're really caring. They would always take the phone to him whenever I'd call. I can't really give a good evaluation because I was never there very much. I went in the first day to register him, and I never went again. I stood outside his window a couple of times and brought him Christmas presents, but not as far as going in and thoroughly evaluate it. As far as good care, he was better when he got home, so that's pretty good to me. He got a private room. When we put him in there, I was fearful of Covid, and then they got it on Thanksgiving weekend, but my husband is lucky he had a really light case of it. These were good women that took care of him. I don't think there were any guys there. My husband is a big guy, and he's 6'3. Honestly, I really doubt they had any activities with this Covid thing going around. They needed to isolate my husband in his room, so he didn't get physical therapy then. He was isolated in his room for a couple of weeks. It really is hard for me to give that place a grade right now, but I'd give them an A absolutely. The only thing that really mattered to me was these kind women and the care they gave. The place was real quaint, and it's the first thing you see. The second thing is this big giant church, and right across the street is this nice little rest home. It's kind of like a Y-shaped brick, and it looked modern and nice. My husband had an end room. I didn't have any complaints, but then I can't have anything to compare it to either. He didn't have any complaints with the food, and he didn't lose any weight. I've checked in with others, and it's not cheap. That's one of the reasons why I'm not keeping my husband in there because it will wipe me out. As long as I can take care of him and he can get up, I'm going to. I know that Pleasant View is $2000 cheaper than the other place here and that's huge."
