Aase Haugen Senior Services

Carol

I went to Aase Haugen Senior Services. For an Alzheimer's patient, they allowed the flexibility to roam. I didn't see the rest of the facility, just that area. At this point, they're short of staff and they weren't taking senior patients. The staff was very friendly there. I had no concerns. The rooms were spacious. They were big. There was enough room for a bed and even a loveseat, a chair, and a TV, but I only looked at the private rooms. The dining area was spacious, too. There's plenty of room for residents. They weren't on top of each other. There's plenty of room for them all to sit. I kind of like that. Even though it was dated, it was very clean. However, when I went there and I wanted to follow back up with them, nobody did, and that I don't like so well. There was no follow back up from that facility. I would send my husband there still. I only met two staff and the ones I observed were interacting with the residents.

This facility is one of those that works hard at giving the negative aspect of being in an assisted living facility a better spin. They work hard at encouraging family members to have something to do with their family members while they are there. They also work at making sure the residents keep busy. They have a yearly halloween candy give away for any children of the area that wish to come and parade their costumes for the residents. My ex mother in law works there and she is always telling me about fun things she trys to do to bring the residents spirits up. They also bring in animals to give companiion ship to their residents. They have birds, a cat, and a dog. I have tried to encourage my girl scout troop to go to Aase to read to those unable to do this for themselves. Unfortunatly iour troop disbanded before we were able to get this done, but i am still trying to get a group of people together to do this. There is so much history in these homes that if we would all just listen we could learn so much, before it is gone for good.
