Chisholm Place

Chisholm Place is a good fit for my mother because it reminded me of the assisted living place where she was living. It's very clean and the people are very nice. I like it. It's homey. They watch TV out in the living room, and they take them for walks in their little garden area. She's happy there. The staff is very nice. I was there the day she moved in and that was the last day I was able to see her because of the lockdown. They've been treating her well, and they've put a smile back on her face. I'm happy for her.

We're really pleased with Chisholm Place. The atmosphere is welcoming. There's always a lot of staff members present and a lot of residents out doing things. They try to get them out of their rooms and have them interact with the other residents. They've hired more activity instructors, so they have more activities for them in the evenings and on the weekends. The staff is very attentive, very caring, and goes out of their way to help. My father's room is open and bright. We got him a double. It's nice because he can have a couch and a little bit more room. The bathroom is big, and it has good windows. The activity director is really good.

My mother stayed at Chisholm Place. They provided good care, and the facility was nice. Everybody seemed professional and on top of things. It's a good place, but she had a fall and had to go to the hospital. Chisholm Place recommended that we move her to skilled nursing. They had a nice outdoor facility, and she participated in group activities. The food was good. She liked it there, and we were very satisfied. They just couldn't adequately provide the level of care that she needed. Her room was always kept clean and comfortable. The staff was good, but the chief nurse left, and they were the main person we interacted with.

Chisholm Place is very nice. The layout is square, so it's easy for the people living there to get around, because they just keep going until they run into what they're looking for. So far everybody has been very nice. The place is very clean and they take care of my mom. The dining area is very nice, they use table cloths and napkins, and the food looks really good. The menus are posted on the wall, and they have an actual chef, not just a cook. The one day I was there they had little pool noodles and balloons, and they were hitting the balloons back and forth to each other. And then they have a walking club, where they go to many circuits around the building. The price cost a lot of money though.

Chisholm Place only houses memory care patients, and the people were all very friendly. They had different types of apartments that were spacious and clean and had options like hardwood floors or carpets. They had activities for the residents that catered specifically to their personalities. There's also an interior walk-path so they can walk inside or outside and still be safe.

I visited and it was good. The utilitarian room is adequate. The rooms are okay. I generally like the facility and they specialize in memory care. Overall, I am impressed. The dining area was nice. Overall I think it's a good facility, and I'm just going to leave it at that.

It was a very nice facility. One of the reasons we were not interested in it was because it was a higher level of care than what we needed. The cleanliness was excellent. Everything we looked at was excellent. The way that they gave us a tour was excellent. The rooms looked very nice and very clean.

The environment at this community was not quite as uplifting as some of the other places I've visited, but they were certainly doing a good job for the residents.

We placed my dad here. We picked them because we are really impressed with the people that work there. It is not a really large facility, which we like. We like the room that my dad is placed in. It is fully furnished. The location is nice and close to where my brother and I live. We like the food that they serve. My dad actually chose it. This morning they played bingo, and today they have someone coming in who plays guitar. They have music activities. They have a person in charge of the activities. They do Frisbee, balloon toss, cooking, reminiscing, and bible study. They have something going on all the time. They served popcorn for them yesterday, and the smell of the popcorn gets my dad up and out of his room. They have a beautiful, open garden area that the patients can go out, walk, and sit in anytime they want. We have no problems with them. My dad went into a problem area last weekend. He keeps moving all of his stuff out of his room and packing them all up. He is determined that they will tell him that he can leave. I go and put everything away, and then he will pack it all up again. After the third time we decided to just leave it the way he has it. Then the day after he didn't like it that way anymore, he started unpacking it and put it away. Then we had a good week. They work with him so well. The rooms are furnished, and the furniture is really nice.

My wife is in memory care, and I am not really satisfied with it. It is a good facility, but with her condition, I just feel that she is not being taken care of as she could be or should be. I could be wrong. My wife is still there, and I don't intend on taking her out. It is a square shaped building, and the hallways are really long. One of the problems with my wife is that she has started wandering like people do with dementia and going in other people's rooms, so they keep telling me, "Oh, we will watch her and keep her," but what I don't understand is some of the residents leave their doors open, and it is just an invitation for somebody with dementia. They don't know where they are, they just walk in, and then if they need clothes they all go into the closet and get clothes and take them. So the staff is not one-on-one because that is so expensive probably for anybody. The price was one reason why we chose it because it was one of the cheapest places. They did not have a full place when I went -- it was only about 50 percent when she moved in and it is filling up now -- but they gave me a good deal. It was a good deal compared with what I would have had to pay for a single room because they gave me a double room for one person, and then they gave me level 2 so that was a little cheaper. It is OK, but there is nothing good about the whole situation, and that is not really knocking down, it is just the situation that I am in financially and my wife is in mentally. They do have activities, but I find them a total waste of time for somebody at her level. When I took her to play bingo, half of the people present would go to sleep while that was going on. Another thing was the exercise program. I happened to be there one day when they were doing that, and the only one doing it was the director who would sit by one person, and they would try to do it, but as I looked around, again half of the tmem were sleeping and not paying attention at all. But that is not the community's fault. It is where these residents are in their lifetime. The rooms are really nice, and they furnish everything. You don't have to move furniture in and out, they will use their own furniture, and it is nice. The single room has a bathroom, a separate room, and a nice shower area that you can walk in and where you don't have to step over something -- just a plain walk-in -- so there is no tripping or anything.

We have my mother-in-law here. It is entirely memory care, and it is about five miles from the house, so it is very convenient. The food is good, and she likes it. Her room is very pleasant. It has a nice central area where patients can walk outside. They have a great staff. They are always very pleasant. The patients are well taken care of. The food is excellent. They manage her medications properly. It is just a really top notch place.
