"I really enjoyed the Tribute at Melford. It's a beautiful facility. I thought I was in a hotel when I got there. My mother is most likely in need of memory care and they're just out of my league. It's somewhere around $8,500 a month and we can't afford that. The folks were nice. I thought the facility had many options for the residents. They got a hair salon there and a couple of gyms with folks working in each of those places. I thought it was a really, really attractive place and it would be nice if we were able to afford to keep my mother there, but I don't think that's the case. I don't have a problem with it. I think the facility may be three years old, but it's extremely well put together. I was very impressed with everything and the help that I got from the staff as far as looking through and then explaining what's going on. If I came in with some money, very quickly, I'd probably send my mother over there. I actually went through both assisted living and memory care. They were explaining that their medical staff would review my mother's case and they would do an exam of her. They're more apt to make the decision about which care the person is getting. I know she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's last year. I didn't see anyone eating, but I did go past the dining facility and it's very nice, kind of a restaurant menu style facility. I did meet the cook. They looked like they've got everything in order. All of the staff was top grade. Everybody was kinder than you would expect. They have (I think) a white sheep and a black sheep out front. They're using the residents to try to find names for them. I just mentioned on the way out, "How about Ebony and Ivory?" and the girl's eyes lit up. I thought it was kind of cute that that's what they're doing with the residents, keeping them involved. It's a pretty nice way to interact with the folks."
