Gaines Park Senior Living

I visited this facility on more than one occasion in the last month. The reason for the visit was for a class that I am taking at a university near the assisted-living home. When driving up, my initial impression of the home was a good one. They have very good scenery, and it is apparent that they take good care of it from the outside. When I walked in, I had the same impression. The staff that I met was very nice, and I could tell that they were very happy to be there, and they were very friendly to the people who live in the facility. Once I met some of the staff and some of residents, I took a tour of the place and looked at some of the rooms. The rooms looked like they were perfect for someone in the home. Although they were somewhat small, they had everything a resident could need, including a phone, a bathroom, a television, a thermostat and a comfortable bed. The layout of the home was a square with a courtyard in the middle, so that added to the scenery as well. After the tour, I engaged in an exercise session with some of the residents and had a great time socializing with them. I have been back to Gaines Park a few times after that to help them with their exercise class. Although I was not there to find a home for a family member, I know that I would feel comfortable letting one of my family members live there if I had to make that decision.

This is one of the centers i visited when i was looking to put my father in a home. I visited everyday for an entire week and everyday i saw many activities being offered. For example Sunday I observed bible study and a small church service that lasted an hour or two. it seemed many of the seniors enjoyed the service. i know they enjoyed it by the way they all would sing along, reading and asking questions.
