Benton House of Decatur

We went to Benton House of Decatur. For my purposes, the facilities are much newer than the other facility, and the staff is probably going to be about the same. There may be a little bit of a personality difference based upon the socioeconomic backgrounds of the residents, but the principal point that my mother likes is the fact that it is directly across the parking lot from the independent living apartment she's been in in the past three years. And if that would mean that her friends from the independent living complex could walk over and say hi and spend time with her, that would be wonderful for her mental state. The room was much nicer. It's large enough for my mother's needs. They have different-sized rooms. We were looking at a one-bedroom and there's plenty of room for what my mother needs. They're spacious rooms, well planned, well laid out, and much newer. They have a large, redesigned shower compartment. Being a newer facility, they've brought in some of the newer room designs for assisted care facilities. It looked like they got activities for every day of the month. If you want a full day of activities, they got it.
