Parker at Monroe

My mother is in Parker at Monroe. It's private so its out-of-pocket pay, and they don't accept Medicaid. They have memory care and nursing care, and it's an excellent community. It's four years old and there's a waiting list to get on it. It doesn't look like a nursing home, but somebody's living room, and the rooms are all private rooms with large bathrooms. They have excellent staff members, there's a nurse and two aides for 16 patients, and they treat the residents like their own mother. They're on top of everything, like when somebody gets up to go to the bathroom but was supposed to use a walker, they go running to take care of it right away. The food was very good and healthy. Most of their activities are watching game shows, trivial pursuit, and so on. They have physical and occupational therapies, a doctor on-call, and we have a choice between two doctors. It's a bit expensive, but it's worth it because Mom is safe.
