Chateau De Notre Dame

We visited Chateau de Notre Dame. It did not have a homey feeling and felt like a hotel in the lobby and elevator. They did not have anyone to welcome us.

We were not happy about putting our elderly parent into a assisted care facility but knew it had to be done. we chose Chateau De Notre Dame based on its location and recommendation of friends. It has worked out better than we have ever expected. the facility is okay. It is well kept and clean, but that is not what stands out the most. It is the people who work in the facility that make it special. they care about the work they do and the people they take care of. they do not just do what is necessary, but make tsure that the residents are enjoying the things that are available. On a recent visit to the facility we found that the residents were being entertained by some boys from a local high school who came and played a variety of music. They said they were members of a builders club and that their teacher was related to someone who worked at the facility. The kids come by on a regular basis to entertain the residents. It was the employees idea to get the kids involved. This type of thinking makes the place much better an more like a family to the residents.
