Hawley Senior Living

Carol

My husband has moved into Hawley Senior Living. There weren't many with availability, so we had to choose from those that were. It's a small town with dedicated staff and it's nearby. The care is excellent. The cleanliness is excellent. The food is excellent. He has Parkinson's disease and Lewy body dementia and any place he goes will struggle with keeping him safe because HIPAA rules are such that there can be no rails. He's not cognizant enough to turn his call light on when he needs help, so he's fallen about 12 times. The last fall a week ago, he broke his femur, so he's been in the hospital since then but is scheduled to return to Hawley Senior Living tomorrow for therapy. The food is home-cooked style. He's never complained. He eats everything. It's congregate dining and that's good for him to get out of his room. Also, their activity director is excellent and works hard even with his physical and mental impairment to make him involved. The staff is excellent, caring, and professional. They take residents who are able outside of the facility, fishing, to the Dairy Queen, for rides, just to enjoy the outdoor setting. They have a beautiful garden. In-house, they have activities every day, some he's able to do, some he is not, playing cards, bingo, church, and individuals come in to entertain. The vacuuming could be a little better.
