"Mom is in Brookdale Clinton. It has been a pleasant experience. We are still working out a few little things as far as her care and what she needs, but overall, it has been good. The staff seems to be efficient, knowledgeable, and helpful. The dining room is nice and pretty. They put spring flowers on every table to make it really nice and inviting. The food is good. I will recommend this community because of the warm reception we had when getting her settled. "

"My friends are in The Orchard. One has one-bedroom apartments. The dining room is attractive. Their breakfast is buffet and their evening meal is a large buffet. The meal at noontime is a seated luncheon; that's what I am told. I think they probably have activities, but it has not come up in our conversation. "

"I did a tour of Ridgeland Place. I liked the coordinator that I talked to. I liked the rooms, the facility, the gardens, and the outdoors. It was very nice; I felt at home there and comfortable, and that he would be taken care of. The memory care had outdoor gardens and patios. They had activities for them to do inside and outside. The staff was very informative, I spent an hour with her before we went back there; she has a very informative personality. She was telling me that they had a big screen TV, and they would get them different programs. They had a coordinator, and they just didn't sit around. They actually got up and had activities to do to stimulate their minds."

"The Blake at Flowood had very friendly staff. The place had lots of outdoor areas and it was very clean, but just very small. I didn't see any nurse's stations or any nurse on duty when I was there. They had a beauty shop, physical therapy, and the dining area was nice."

"The Blake at Township was nice. The lady that normally does the memory care part wasn't in, so another lady assisted me, and she just told me what she could because she wasn't the normal person that does the tour for the memory care part. She walked me around, and showed me a room, she said she just couldn't go in-depth because it wasn't her area of expertise. the residents were about to eat lunch when I was there, they were in the dining room. It was a nice and clean facility, the cleaning lady was cleaning in the foyer when I walked in. They had a bingo room where they do bingo nights, and they had a game room with checkers and stuff. They're on a lake, so they had an outside area where they could go out and sit and look over the lake."

"We visited St. Catherine's Village in Madison and toured their independent living. One thing that I liked more than anything about it was the fact that I would be able to go to mass there without ever having to leave the facility. We are Catholic, so that is important. We were looking for a regular one-bedroom apartment, and the one we saw there seemed smaller than the one we looked at later on at another facility. The one we saw in the other facility was a single deluxe apartment, though, while the one we saw in this facility was just a regular single apartment. Other than that, all of the accommodations there were very nice, so of course, they have a huge waiting list. We have filled out an application there, but we've not heard back from them. The food selection also seemed lovely."

"My wife is only half a mile away from me in a facility called the Peach Tree Village. It has been completely renovated including special expenses that they went through to make sure that it would never flood again. The place is absolutely beautiful. I have been there several times just since the 1st of February. I've had lunch and supper with my wife there. The place is beautiful. It's well-staffed with very professional people and people that have years and years of experience. The current owners insist on not having anything but highly qualified experienced people, and that's very impressive for me. In terms of activities, my wife is playing bingo as we speak. When I went there on Saturday, I had to wait to see her because when I got there, she was in the activity center painting. They keep them very busy. They have a junior studio, and they have a deluxe studio. My wife is in the deluxe, which is a little bit larger. It's a very comfortable and very nice room. It has a very nice bathroom and shower facilities. The closet is a little bit small. They could have made the closets a little bit bigger, but that's okay. Other than that, the room is very good. We provided the furniture. The room is very close to the front entrance area. The food is excellent. At lunchtime, they have two selections, and you can choose which one you want. When I was there last Saturday, I had a shrimp po'boy sandwich, and the shrimp was excellent. They were prepared perfectly. The food could stand just a little bit of improvement, but they have a chef there. With regards to the value of money, compared to the other place, it's excellent."

"Madison Home Place seemed like a very nice facility, and the lady there was very nice and very helpful and gave me some good things to look for in a place that could take you. The facility seemed open and very clean. We didn't get to check the rooms. We had just seen a little of the dining area, the front lobby, and the hallways. The dining area was very open, very clean, and very nice looking."

"We have chosen Edgewood Healthcare and Rehabilitation for my mom because my grandfather used to be there two years ago and they treated him quite well. The staff and the nurses were very helpful, very kind, and very attentive to my grandpa. His studio room was clean, comfortable, and spacious. My grandpa ate pretty well, and the food was nutritious."

"Heritage House was particularly nice. The staff is very friendly and very professional. They were the ones who would use my mother's insurance and told me what I needed. I needed an advocate, and I need a doctor that will identify her needs and see if they are in compliance with her long term care. They are termed as an assisted living, but they do have nursing care, and that is what I particularly wanted. I needed a place that has 24 hour nursing on staff. They also have a physician on staff, but not 24 hours. They have a full service, and it is a very nice place. They are pricier than most places, but I think that what they offer justifies it. They had very good food. They invited us for a lunch, and it was incredibly good. They have a tiered program so that you can get help for your parents as needed. In other words, they determine level 1, level 2, or level 3. I appreciated their basic care that they gave, which would be monitoring medications, making sure they are at meals, and checking on their whereabouts. Other things such as bathing and things that might that have a progressive need can be purchased as needed, and I like that idea. "
