Stone Valley Memory Care

Billie

I like Stone Valley Memory Care. I like how it's all for the same type of people. There are other group homes that I've gone to that I feel as though, when it comes to the memory part, they kind of get pushed to the back side away from everybody. So I liked Stone Valley when I was there yesterday. I like the room. They're just regular rooms. They're equivalent to the other ones that I've seen in even more expensive places. I like what I saw yesterday and I'm considering moving forward with them. I just want to make sure that there's nothing else out there that I need to look at first. The staff who gave the tour was great. She's very helpful. With regards to the food, they offer three meals a day. I saw the menu and it looked good. They also give them two snacks a day. Residents were walking around with snacks yesterday. I was there at 2:00, so it was snack time and they had like homemade muffins. They make sure and keep their people well-hydrated. I was impressed. It's the best one that I've seen yet.

Paying a lot to this place but no paper towel on my mom's room and they don't provide laundry basket for each residents!

My father is at Stone Valley Memory Care. It has actually been amazing. Every person that works there, whether it's the executive director or the wellness director or the aides that are walking around, they're happy to be there. They greet us, and they ask us what we need. They are amazing, and all of my family feels that. They are caring for us as if they are caring for their own family. This is our first experience with needing a facility for a family member, but they have exceeded our expectations with how lovely they've been. The food is amazing. It is delightful. I think their executive chef has been a chef at some local places in town, and he's amazing. It's all freshly prepared. They spent a lot of money on residents' quality food, and you can really tell. They do three courses, and so they bring out the supper salad, the main dish, and the dessert. It is high quality. My family and I have been there several times a day over the last week and we all want to eat there. They're like, "Hey, do you want to eat with your dad? We'll bring you a tray." And it's great food. I would eat there every day if I could. The place is lovely. The hallways are nice, wide and bright, and there is lovely artwork. There are lots of windows and lots of light. It feels like a nice hotel when you're walking in the halls. They have several things every day, whether it is movement or games. On the weekends they do spiritual things for people who are used to doing church. They have aesthetics like nail painting. There is something to do almost every hour if you want to take advantage of them. It has been great. I don't really have anything to compare it to. It's not cheap, but we feel like we are definitely getting our money's worth.

I really liked Stone Valley. It was just very warm and decorated very nicely. I like the fact that they try to get their residents out of the rooms every day, and they do their best to keep them engaged. The way the facility was laid out was very nice. They had just all kinds of different little areas in there where the residents could go. All the residents were very visible. They obviously try to get them more engaged and not sit in their rooms all day. I really liked the staff. He was a very nice guy, very open, he's been doing this for a long time, he's been in health care, and he was very caring. They were all very cordial. They all engaged with us, watching the staff with the residents, they also seemed very caring towards them. The dining area was great, very open. The rooms were nice, and they had a variety of options for rooms. They had a daily list of things that they do. They also had a list of the menu. They have a chef on hand that actually tries to make everything from fresh ingredients, and they try not to use anything with preservatives, so it's more of a healthy diet. They had arts and crafts rooms. They had an area where they could watch, they had old movies that were playing. The rooms were set up more like a family room setting where they had fake fireplaces in there. They had everything that goes with a fireplace, just not the fire. They just simulated the fire going in there. They had areas where they could just do simple things. They had one, and they had a bunch of ladies sitting around, and they were folding socks, just these simple things they enjoyed doing. They had all kinds of different little sitting areas all around in the hallways. They also had a courtyard where they could go out and sit, and they had bird feeders out there, and they had areas where they could do planting and things like that. It was very clean.

Stone Valley was very nice. They have three landscaped courtyards for their residents to walk in, a full range of recreational activities, and it looks like the food is decent, too. The rooms all looked fine. I had nothing bad to say about it except that it's very inconvenient for me and I probably won't use them because I have to go so far out of my way to get there. The staff was very pleasant and he was there to sell the facility and he did a pretty good job of it. I came away thinking this is a possibility, but it's so far out of my way that if I can find something closer, I will probably choose something closer. They had a menu that looked appealing. Whether what they produce is appealing or not, I don't know.

Stone Valley was gorgeous and it has a nice layout. I like the circular motions so nobody would get lost or be in the hallway. The rooms were very nice. I like the dining hall, I love the big open concept. It was very nice and everything there, in my opinion, was a five. I like the place that would be my actual preference because I feel that my mom needs a smaller place. I thought the staff was excellent. I like the way they make popcorn and have the kids for the memory care patients. I liked it all. There wasn't one thing I didn't like. I got to meet several staff members, I would highly recommend that one. With this one, you can have your own room, you can have a double or a three a shared room, which is good because you could tell how a patient gets interaction. So instead of me getting my mom a private room, I would get her with some people because she needs to talk. She likes to chat and wants to be in a social community. If you're a husband and wife, if you both have a little bit of a memory issue, you could both go there and have the big room, which is beautiful. They could live together in it and I like that you could keep the husband and wife together. Activities are kind of cool how they have the things set up in a room. The art room had its own little walkabout so, after the art, they could go or they could set out their art projects. There were snacks and stuff and the dining room was pretty cute and pretty cool, they all got to sit and hang out together. I love the entertainment room where they sit and watch TV together. Some can sit just on the recliner, take a nap with a blanket, and some sit and watch TV. You could see there were different walks of life there and different degrees of fitness as well, too. It's not so much just straight memory care, it's more like assisted living and memory care. They match you up to whoever you need and that's who you bunk with. So, you're not in contact with a person that has a bad memory or something like that so you don't drive them crazy. I like that. The facility was gorgeous. When you walked in, it was inviting. It wasn't overwhelmingly big like the others. Stone Valley is one where they have busses, they take them on tours and things like that. That one gives a little bit more personalized care.
