I had been to Plum Tree Care Center twice, and I asked to go back for the second time because I liked it so much. It's a wonderful experience. The help there is wonderful. The nurses, the nurse's aides, and the management people are very caring and timely. The food is great there, and they have a great alternate menu, too. It's all sorts of stuff. If you don't want what they're having, you let them know, no worries. You can also have your visitors come and they charge you $7, but frankly, they never charge me. They said it was okay. Their adult activities I think are great. My second time there was wonderful. We had this entertainer come out and everybody was singing and dancing. If you were in a wheelchair, you did whatever in your chair, whether you were spinning around or clapping on your hands. The other thing they had that's really good, Monday through Friday, starting at 9 a.m., they had coffee and refreshments in the dayroom. And then around 3:30, they would start with these adult exercises and they're all for people that were seated. They put on whatever kind of music we want on the big screen TV. And then after about 45 minutes or an hour, we switched over to doing leg races, marching in place, and arm circles that most people, even though they're in a rehab facility, could probably do and that's wonderful. A couple of afternoons a week they would have bingo with prices. They would play blackjack, and because some people are visually impaired, the cards are about the size of a sheet of computer paper. Most of the rooms have two people. They have two courtyards, too. Some of the rooms have a very nice view because you're looking out into the courtyard. People go out to the courtyard all the time except when I was there the second time, we had all those days of terrible rain every single day, so we didn't get out there very much. Any day the sun was shining, they would offer to take us out there. They had a woman that came in there once a week to do hair. They also would do your laundry.

Plum Tree was lively and always had something going on. My mom was one of the few residents who was Filipino and most of the staff was Filipino so they treated her like their grandma. She loved it because it was very social for her. She felt like she was getting special attention. They always had activities. It's a small enough community that they were consistent with their checks. It's not ideal for long-term stay because the closets are small and you can't really make the room yours. The food is not really good at times. It was also a little expensive. I like that they had a living room.

My father-in-law is in Plum Tree, and overall, it's been really good. For the most part, they've been really attentive. We made sure everything was taken care of. He's been there over a year now, and his care has been good. They rate higher for cleanliness than other facilities.

My girlfriend gets very good treatment at Plum Tree. The food is a little shaky as it tends to be a bit old and cold. It’s nice, neat and clean, and the service is good.
