Heartland Christian Village

I had my wife at Heartland Christian Village for a while. The staff was above average, and there was a high level of conscientious behavior on the part of the administrator and the senior nurses that I had a chance to be exposed with. They had a few private apartments if you didn't require full-time nursing care and wanted to be able to utilize the centralized eating facilities. If you needed to, you could migrate from the apartment into the nursing home at some later date. She had Alzheimer's, and they did not really have the facilities to be able to cope with Alzheimer's patients in the evenings. It did not have the staff or the manpower to cope with them outside of the time shift. However, you could come in on daycare. You just couldn't have somebody there on a full-time evening basis. They seemed to have a wide variety of spaces available -- private rooms, double rooms -- and they have a Medicaid room as high as four to eight people in them, which was a warehousing-type of environment and not very tasteful. From the standpoint of recreational facilities, they had regular games, activities, walks, and painting classes. They had a nice indoor courtyard that you could go and sit in and watch the birds or butterflies.
