Seasons of Danvers

I toured Seasons of Danvers. The facility was beautiful. I did like the staff and I didn't spend as much time with the hands-on staff, that may be why I was more influenced by the other one. They may be pretty much the same. They also have an outdoor area. I just clicked more with the other one, and there's nothing wrong with the Seasons of Danvers. It was gorgeous. That would have been my other choice. They gave me a warm apple crumble that was to die for. It was delicious. There was nothing wrong with the rooms overall, but the one respite room they showed me, I didn't like where it was located.

My aunt moved into Seasons of Danvers. It's all one floor apartment living, and it's like a five-star resort. I thought that's what my aunt deserved. It's absolutely beautiful, 110 percent support from the director to the staff. I couldn't make things more comfortable for her. We had a couple of preview visits, and it went very well. They're working very hard at making her feel at home. Her room is very, very nice. It's like a little apartment. The dining area is elegant. It really feels like a resort. From cloth napkins to china, they couldn't make it warmer and nicer for them. And I had lunch with her yesterday, with her son and her, and it was really from soup to nuts, perfect. We went through a couple of activities with her. A lot of music, which seems like everybody likes musical things. There's art classes. They have activities from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. with a director on board and a lot of help, and they have a gorgeous courtyard, very big, that they can go out to any time they want with swings. And they have barbecues out there, and it's just really elegant. Exercise, yoga, chair yoga, chair exercises. Very, very nice.

I went here, I liked it, and my mother moved there a month and a half ago. I liked the way it was laid out. It was very clean, I liked the staff, and it just seemed like they had their stuff together. Everything has been great. The staff seemed very good, focused, and attentive. The food is very good. It's very clean. I was there Sunday, and they were doing activities. They also have a schedule of activities.

My mom is now here. So far, they've been amazing. There's a courtyard that has flowers and so forth. They have movies, games, and painting. They have a carnival, and they have Halloween parties. They have a lot of different things. My mom has put on weight, so their meals have to be good. Her room is perfect for one person. It's a private room. Seasons of Danvers is probably an ideal memory care facility.

It was an excellent place. The layout was very good. The people are very pleasant and helpful. They do periodically offer virtual programs to show you what it's like to have Alzheimer's where you put on gloves and shoes and it gives you an indication of what these people are going through. They're friendly and welcoming, so I had a positive experience.

My mother was here about a year ago for respite care. It was brand new, setup nice, and everything was on one level. Her room was very nice. They do a lot of programs there and even provide education programs.
