Dolan Memory Care Homes-Frontier

Teresa Jorgen

Too small to offer any stimulation to residents. Physical and cognitive exercises are non existent. Many times there are not enough staff. The decline I witnessed of my friend and other residents was unbelievable. The patients were parked in front of a tv, most times slumped over. My friend was so over medicated some days that she could barely walk or talk.

My mom is currently at the Dolan Memory Care Homes. We haven't been inside yet because of COVID, we just have to meet her in the waiting room. She was not interested in going to any type of home or place because she used to live with my sister, but she is loving this place. They do things for her like paint her nails, do her hair, play some games, and get her involved in anything, like cooking. Only eight or ten people live there and it's set up like a home environment, so it's very personalized. The last time we saw her, she's significantly better, remembered more, and just looked happier. We're pleased with it. Although I haven't had much experience with the staff, everything my mom says about them is positive. They all sit at the same big dining room table so nobody's left out and my mom has said only positive things about the food so far. It's just extremely expensive in my point of view. We'll have to take a Medicaid place at some point.
