Memory Care Communities in Mineral Point, WI

"I toured Park Place Assisted Living last June. I liked the memory care unit, but they have no nursing, so he would have to leave the facility and go somewhere else. It was spotless, very secure, they had locked doors, locked rooms if necessary. They showed us menus, and they had choices of entrees for each meal. They had an area where they could go to get snacks and beverages. It seemed to me like their staff to resident ratio was very good. They had a room where there's actual exercise equipment that was easy enough for elderly people to operate. They have these big foam dice, they were playing a number game, but one would roll the dice, and pass the dice to another person. They had some memory games that they were playing. They had an area where they could go outside, they had flowers and they could help with the planting of the flowers in the Spring, watering them, and taking care of them over the summer."

"My father has moved into Beehive Homes of Mount Horeb. It seems to be a really good place for him. That was the only place that he was willing to go to because he went to high school at Mount Horeb, so he thought he might know somebody there. It's a smaller place, which was ideal for him. The staff members seem good. The day that I was there, they were planting flowers. They put them in the little starter kits and then they put them out in the window and then plant them in the pots outside once it gets warmer. They made suncatchers the other day. I've only been there five times and they're just getting done with a lot of the activities when I arrive. They're all very nice and friendly. Value for money seems good. My brother is a financial person, and he said it was a lot cheaper than the other ones that we had seen in Madison. We saved probably $2000 or $3000 by putting him in a smaller community and it's two hours closer for us than going up to Wausau."
