Middlewoods of Farmington

My parents came to Middlewoods when we needed help. My mother was having some health issues, and my husband and I had previously committed to babysit our grandchildren in another state 15 hrs. away. We were checking out assisted living homes for respite care to give me peace of mind where my parents could get any help they needed, including meals, cleaning, and nursing assistance. My mother was the one who mentioned liking Middlewoods so that determined our decision. (I had also heard of them from another friend who told me that is where she would go if it were necessary.) We initially had my parents there for one month's respite care. Upon our return, they assumed they were staying. It was the best decision we ever could have made. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. They also make every effort to make sure their residents feel at home and are comfortable. They even try to make sure the residents continue to do whatever brings them pleasure. My dad loves to golf, and staff have actually taken him out to play. When recommendations are made by residents, they take it very seriously and try to accommodate the suggestions.

I liked Middlewoods of Farmington very much. It was a little homey, more like what my mother's home was. From an environment perspective, she might be a little bit more comfortable there. It was very clean, and the staff was very nice. They had plenty of amenities and lots of activities for the seniors to do.

The environment at Middlewoods assisted living was really nice, but the layout of the apartments was very weird and unusual. The dining room was very nice with reasonable food. The people were all nice also. We saw them having recreational activities. They had an exercise program. They played bingo, and they went on field trips a lot.
