"My mother-in-law's first day at Mt Gems - Ruby House was really tough for her, but they worked with her and helped her over the initial shock. But she has accepted that she's going to be there now. She's happy here and she is starting to engage with other residents. She likes the meals, and she likes the people that work with her. Every day we're there, we see them cleaning, so we know it gets cleaned frequently. They've been very helpful as far as questions and papers to help you through the process. The price is reasonable for what they're offering, and they give plenty of attention to all the residents. It's also small. Part of the reason we decided to put my mother-in-law in there was because we knew that she wouldn't get lost in the shuffle. You can get a private or a roommate. My mother-in-law found out yesterday that she has a roommate moving in today. They assure us that they wouldn't just take anybody in with her and that they would try to find compatibility, and that's important. You would see the staff all the time talking to people and asking if there are things they can help them with. My mother-in-law has a habit of not changing her clothes and she would wear the same outfit for weeks on end and insist that they're still clean. And so they assure me that they have a way of taking care of that, and they would watch very carefully to make sure that she gets clean clothes on, and the same thing with the shower. The security they have implanted inside, outside, and in the rooms has a code, and very few people know what the code is. In other words, it's 'workers only.' To get in, you have to ring the doorbell, and a worker will come and look at you and decide if they will let you in or not. And then when you get ready to leave, you have to stand by the door and then the worker will come and open the door to let you out, and they always let you out without a greeting like, 'Thank you for coming to visit.' And you can see all kinds of safeguards with security, and that impressed me."
