"Mom has moved into Blenheim-Newport. Everybody that I met has been very helpful, kind, and caring. The other thing is that I have had friends who have had their parents go there and also friends who needed assisted living. I know that there have been situations where one of the family members needed memory care and the spouse, rather than be separated, actually moved into assisted living. It is very close to where we live and almost across the street from where I went to high school. I didn't have to drive far to get there. They have been great at handling her in terms of meeting her needs as a blind person. The door has a plaque on it and not only has raised lettering on it for people who can't see, but it also has Braille. They made her feel comfortable. She didn't want to go there at first, but since she's been there, she's settled in, and there's a lot of things that they do with the people who are there for memory care. They have a chorus. They all sing together. It's more like a glee club. I feel it's worked out well so far. I have eaten there on more than one occasion. They have a restaurant and you can go there and have a meal. The memory care facility meals are served within a locked space so they don't wander around and leave. The food, at least in the restaurant area, was good. The facility has been there for quite a while. They're repainting areas and replacing some of the molding around doors in the halls. They're very good about letting you know that they're doing it and why they're doing it. In general, it's a very nice facility. They have activities. I know that they take them out on trips, they go shopping, they have arts and crafts, and they have this woman who comes in and gets them all singing, which is great therapy. The cost is no different than any of the other facilities I visited. For the price, it was cheaper. I'm paying for a single room for my mother that is cheaper than what a double room was at those other places."
