Edgewood Baxter

Reviewer#ET0106a

My dad and stepmom are residents of Edgewood Baxter. It is very convenient because it's not a big area. They don't have far to go, like the elevator, the activity room, and the dining room. It's all in the center. All the staff are very nice and very helpful except for the head of the nursing staff. They have a variety of things like they had baby back ribs, and they said they were very good. They had shrimp, and the soups were very good, and if they didn't like some kind of meal, they had a choice to have something else made, and that's nice. The facility is very clean. It's very nice. I don't know how old of a building it is, but it's kept up. It's not like you see dirty areas or anything like that. It's like the carpets and everything is always clean. They have bingo. They have crafts. They have music come in, and just like a social gathering if they want to play cards or something. They have a salon there. The rooms are nice. The one they got, because those two lived together, had a little bit bigger room, like there were two bedrooms, and it was perfect for them. It's a large room, but if it's one person, they have a one-bedroom, and there's plenty of space in those apartments. That's what's nice.

My sister is in assisted living at Edgewood Baxter. They have memory care, too. It's very friendly. It's like a family community with very good food and very caring people. They have transportation to Wal-Mart, they can order food from Cub and have it delivered, and they take them to their doctor appointments. They said that there was a van that would take them to other things like the bank, but now they're saying they don't do that. That was the only thing that we were kind of disappointed in because they told us they did and they don't, but they provide everything. It's a great place to be. She's very happy there. They have a lot going on every day. They have people come in and play music. On Fridays, they sometimes take them to different places. My sister's very fussy and she loves their food. They have a nice dining room. It's very big and very nice, and it overlooks a wooded area. The facility is very clean.
