Seaton Hagerstown

My ex-husband will move into Seaton Hagerstown. I found it very professional and very nice. They have a lot of activities for the residents. I like the physical therapy program. I like the food courses that they have. They have two different choices for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They have snacks for them, and if they're on a special diet, they have a special diet feel for them as it goes individually. They have a specific housekeeper that takes care of the cleaning, which I think is very important because the place is very, very clean. They have nursing staff, which I think is very important, and I appreciate that. The rooms are lovely, and it doesn't look like a nursing facility, it looks more like a hotel. I've met some of their professional staff. I haven't met the actual care staff. The professional staff, like the nurses and the physical therapist, the person that plans the meals, and the housekeeper, I've met them and they are very, very kind, very nice. The dining area is beautiful, it's like a restaurant. They have meetings with the veterans, to get together and have meetings. They have three physical therapy groups that meet three times a week. They have a whole calendar of things, they have singalongs, and they have people to come in. One thing that I've really enjoyed is they have bible studies and they have church every week. They have at least three or four things a day. They seem very honest on what they can provide for my ex-husband, and they'll stand by their word. If they have any changes at all, they would notify me ahead of time and we'd have a conference about it. So I thought that was very nice compared to other places.

I looked and it was nice, but the rooms weren't as big. But I just know my mother and I know she would be looking for bigger rooms. It will be one place to consider also. There was a library, a dining facility, and they said after the COVID is over, they'll be back taking bus trips. They have a patio, they're all covered. It's very clean. They have studio apartments, they did have a kitchenette. They have some residents doing little crafts.

I toured and it was very nice. The people and the employees were extremely nice, informative, and welcoming to my mom and me. They showed us the entire assisted living facility and everything available from the activities to physical therapy and occupational therapy. All of those services were going to be available to her. It was very inclusive and it was a nice tour. They have patios and garden areas. They have a third-party hairstylist, a hairdresser that comes in for all of the residents. They have a little walking club, the residents get together and take a walk outside around the patios. They have an activities department and areas where the residents get together and enjoy each other's company, maybe for music or whatever the case might be. The place is pretty nice.

It was very quick to get my dad in. They worked very well with the VA in getting the process going. He does not like it there, but I don't know if it's just because it's all new; so I'm having a hard time. I know that they are very consistent with sticking to the rules of making sure his medication is supplied like it's supposed to be. They're doing good at that. He said the food is great. He's only been there a little over a week. His room is small. There's not much to it, just a closet, a window with a ledge, and just a small bathroom. It's very basic. It fits his bed, a chair, and TV. There's nothing fancy. There's a little box for his phone or wallet if he's out of his room. He's in level three assisted living, and they have different levels. I know they have bingo and a place for physical therapy. I've been in to the office in the front and his room, but they haven't taken me back to look at the rest of it. All I know is what was on their website. The only thing I can remember is bingo, and they have some TVs around in the hallways. My father hasn't done anything. He's complained about not cleaning his room, and they're supposed to clean once a week. He loves the food. It's such an expensive thing. The front is landscaped nicely. They're putting a new road next door, so there's all this construction off to the side (which isn't their fault). When you walk in, it's welcoming. There's usually no one in there when you walk in, but it's clean. It smells like a care facility.
