Melrose Park View Place

My mother moved to the independent living community of Melrose Park View Place. I liked the staff because they're very professional and friendly. They try to help as much as they can, and I like that. We were there one day when we had a storm issue pop up, and I was really impressed with how fast they were able to get everybody in the main hallways on the main floor so they were safe. That was a big deal to me. I haven't found anything I don't like about the place. I know they check on my mom at least twice a day, but she takes her own medicines. The staff is very caring. I visited her on Friday because we had a little health scare. They called me right away and asked if I wanted to come down and make sure she's okay. I headed over there, and they were there to explain what symptoms she had. They were very helpful. I tasted the food and it was very good. The community is very clean, and they keep it up really well. Everything looks like it's in its place and nice. I like it a lot, and Mom seems to like it too. The layout of the rooms is very easy for the older folks to navigate. They're all very well set up and kept up nicely. They all have windows that you can see out of, and air conditioning, the whole works, so it's very nice. They have an exercise class just about every day of the week except Saturday and Sunday. They've had ice cream socials, music events, and all kinds of stuff like that. Every week there's something. Above all, I do appreciate the staff there. They are very caring, and they're fun to be around. They even joke with the folks who are living there, and they just make it enjoyable. It's a nice place.
