Memory Care Communities in Evansville, IN

"My mom is now in Walnut Creek Alzheimer's Special Care Center. It's very, very nice, and all the people were very nice, helpful, and open. If you ask them any questions, they will answer you, so I can't say anything bad about it. The place is very clean and the staff is very professional. My mom's room is small, but that's all that she needs, and it's very nice. Their dining area is very clean, and the food looked like it was good. I have not tried it, but my mom says it's good. They have activities for the people there, like memory games, balloon volleyball, and things that they can stay active in. And they have musicians to come in a few times a week to play for them, whether it be a guitar or piano or whatever. Their staff goes above and beyond what they need to do to help. They are very expensive, but for us and our mom, it's well worth the money."

"It is a very beautiful facility. My husband’s parents are living on the second floor. They both have walkers, but there is an elevator. The dining room is on the ground floor, and the laundry facility is right down the hall from their little three-bedroom apartment. There are people that come in to check on them to make sure that they’re coming down for the meals and help them with the washing of their towels and linens. They have a lot of activities at the facility. We have received an invitation for a dinner that they’re having for family members next Thursday. The food is delicious; my father-in-law likes their dessert. He’s not used to having desserts that often, and now he really enjoys it. They feed them very well. This facility was recommended to us, and we would highly recommend it, too. "

"West River Health Campus is very well-appointed. Their memory care has a new director. She was an employee there before, and she got promoted. They do a lot more things than they did when my husband was there. They go on outings, and they go out to eat. They just do a lot of different activities. The place was clean. The staff was very caring. It was a good place to go. My husband was probably there for six months. They provided three meals a day, and the food was very good. They chopped his food up, which wasn't as appetizing. They would charge a nominal fee, and the family could eat there. I think once a month, they have dinner, and it is for the residents and their families, and that is no charge. We had a slight problem with the director, but it was one of those things. I know how corporations push for the money. She gave me a bill and demanded the money because my husband's Medicare had run out, and we had to pay cash, and she wanted the money right away. That was the only bad thing about it. Everyone was very nice, though. The CNAs were great. They had really beautiful drapes, and the furniture was nice. They have a sunroom and a game room where they have a pool table. They have a Happy Hour on Fridays. Usually, they have somebody playing music, like a guitar or maybe a piano, and they have sing-alongs, things like that. They also have physical exercises where people can sit in chairs and do different stretching exercises. Anyone could participate, even if you are in a wheelchair."

"We toured Woodmont Health Campus. The staff was definitely the thing I like the best. The thing I like the least is that it was a bigger facility. I like the small facility. The staff had a lot of responsibilities, so they were managing quite a lot. The food was amazing. There was variety, quality, and nutritive value. The facilities are well-maintained and spacious. They have tons of activities that go on. The activities director is constantly working to bring new things in and make it exciting for the residents."
