Sunflower Hill Assisted Living

We chose Sunflower Hill Assisted Living because a nurse owns it, it has a high reputation and I've had friends who had their parents there. I've been very pleased with the staff, they're very kind and caring. The food is good and plentiful, and she gets plenty of it. My mother-in-law has gained some weight while she's there. She has a nice room, she shares a room with one other lady. It's a large room, they have their own bathroom and a walk-in closet. It's set up very nicely, they each have their own television and their own space. They have activities but it's limited right now because of the COVID, they typically have people coming in to do activities. But because of the limitations, the staff have to do their own activities. It's fine, but during non-COVID times it would have been better. The staff always responds to my calls and texts, I have never waited for 10 minutes for someone to get back to me if I've texted because right now we're not able to visit. The facility itself is very nicely done, very clean, and they have a front porch that the residents can go and sit on. It's not cheap, but her needs are being met so that's what matters. I've looked at other places but I chose this one because it's a smaller home, less people on it. Amidst this COVID I felt that's better risk category right now.

Sunflower Hill's rooms were clean and adequate, but they didn't have their own bathroom. They have regular things that they do with the people there like Bingo, arts and crafts, and they have people who come in from different organizations and work with the residents. They also have a sunroom where they do lots of arts and crafts. The staff was very nice, friendly, treated my mother well, and called her by name. They were good.
