"My mom-in-law is in the rehab unit at Aldersgate Village for two weeks. It's very homey, very light, and bright. They push her to help her get better. We're very happy. The staff is very friendly, caring, and talkative even though most of the patients can't talk because they are suffering from dementia or Alzheimer's. I was really impressed with the training they must have had. They have lots of activities there. "

"We visited Providence Homes Plus, and I liked it. The problem with this particular home was the doors were not wide enough for my mom's wheelchair. They were in the process of extending and adding two more rooms, and they are going to make the doors wider. I like the fact that it was a smaller setting and the ratio of staff to residents there. They only deal with memory care. They don't really have a separation, so it's all together because it's an actual home transformed for caregiving. You bring your own furniture in, and that's the same with the other places I toured. There was a closet in the room that was available. They had one bathroom to share among the three or four rooms that they have. There are probably eight people in there. Since they are adding two rooms, they are also adding a bathroom in that section. I didn't get to eat, but they were cooking when I was there. It smelled great. They had some activities that they do. They had a couple of different sitting areas, a dining room, and a kitchen. They had a backyard, and it was set up for them to go out to sit when the weather is nice. The person who gave me the tour was really good, very understanding, and was trying to understand what the situation was."

"Brewster Place was very well maintained. They seemed to have a lot of activities for the seniors such as crafts and they did have some community projects too, which cost a lot of money. There were little apartments with a kitchenette, one bedroom, a little living area and a bathroom. The staff were friendly, but not an overabundance of them. The common dining area was very nice and they had flowers on the table. "

"We visited Topeka Presbyterian Manor but they don't have a set up where my husband and I could stay together. The staff was really nice, really warm, and bent over backwards. We'd stay there if they had what we needed. We had friends who live there so we also got to visit a bit. They had a workout room, and their dining area was really nice. We had lunch there and it was very tasty and very good. The place itself was well-maintained, it was older but was nice."
