My mother was at Pleasant Meadows for a year. It was a good place, but she only had just one room. We wanted her to have more of an apartment kind of place and just a little more independence to see how far she could go, but then we found out about the Lewy bodies. They were really good, but it's just one room and one bathroom, and there's no kitchen, no sink or anything, other than the bathroom. The food choices were pretty limited and mom wasn't too happy about that.
She was in pretty bad shape because we had just taken her out of rehab. We just moved her over to the assisted living at Pleasant Meadows. There's somebody there checking them. There were girls there all night long. They're not nurses. They're just workers. They're doing laundry. They have a buzzer and they make sure mom wears a necklace, but still, at night, they had cords. The girls were there and they'd come and get her and they'll help her if they can. If they do fall, they still call the ambulance to come and check her out before they move her but there's somebody there. They'll assist her until somebody gets there to lift them.
The staff was pretty good. She liked the activities and they put them on Facebook. They had story time, they did games, they spell and unscrambled words, and they had bingo and birthday parties. They did a lot. They had a sunroom that mom loved and an outside patio with a fountain. Their facility was nice.

Pleasant Meadow Assisted Living is a wonderful place. The staff and the owners are so caring, helpful, and constantly in touch with you. It's just a fantastic place. My mom is there and it's a small community of people. Only 19 residents live there, and the food is wonderful. They serve out at the tables, but if somebody can't come to the table, they'll take it to the room as well. They are nice, home-cooked meals, and they have a kitchen chef that's there for them, but they do made to order breakfast too.
She got a nice, big room, a nice, big bathroom, and all of the handicapped facilities. It's wonderful. They have crafts, games, movies, books and magazines everywhere, a salon, an outdoor patio, a waterfall out back, flower beds, a sunroom, a nice, huge living room with a big TV, and a fireplace. It's just really good.

Pleasant Meadow Assisted Living is a very clean, very friendly, and very caring facility. They offer good home cooked meals, and all the help my mother could ask for is there. They help her get dressed, they help her with showers, they cook her food, they give her some medication, and they take care of her like she is family. She has a private room. They play cards, puzzles, and bingo, and they do exercises. The food looks good and is nutritious. It's very reasonable price wise.

I visited this facility
Hometown Manor of Frankfort was new but awfully expensive for just a bedroom. They had a little library set up with books against the wall in the lobby. The staff was nice. They had a dining area and sitting area.

Hometown Manor was the newest place we saw. It was small, nice, and there were only 19 beds. They had a walking track and there were people walking outside. It's kind of away from everything else. It's clean and I really liked it.
