Eberhardt Village

Eberhardt Village is a very nice facility. The people that are running it are very caring, and it's very clean. It's beautiful and very well-cared for. It is a very nice place to be and not a depressing place at all. There is no pool and because of COVID I cannot tour inside. When I visited my mother, they brought her out into their informal living room to meet me. Their food is according to what the residents can eat; so they have a particular food for a particular patient. Maybe it is kind of bland, but that's where they are in life in this kind of environment which is memory care. They get their meals on time.

My grandmother has been in this nursing home for 4 years, so I have visited on many occasions. As is the case for most nursing homes, it is a fairly depressing place. There is the usual smell, and often residents sit in their rooms or the hallway talking to themselves or complaining about something. However, the facility, while being well-worn, is always clean, and the staff are friendly and attentive. My grandmother has many friends among the staff members, and some of them have given her presents with their own money. She enjoys the planned activities, like bingo and handbell ringing, where the staff helps her participate in spite of her limited eyesight. She was even awarded the "Valentine's Day Queen" title once and got her picture in the local newspaper. Due to its easily accessible location in a small town, many townspeople are able to go there to visit. I am grateful that my grandmother enjoys living in this home and never protests about being there.
