We chose Ghent Assisted Living for my friend because it was closest to where she lived so her friends could visit. We've also known about this assisted living for many years and it looked like a decent place so that's why we said she would go there. She moved in last month and she's in assisted living. She seems to be doing well and I think her medical care has improved since she went there. All of her doctors are saying that she's doing better. She's not completely happy, of course, because she wants to be home but she understands that's not possible right now. For the most part, they're taking good care of her. The staff seems to be nice, my friend says they are very nice to her. I've had dealings with them too because I go and visit sometimes and they all seem to be helpful. I don't have any complaints there. She says that the meals are good although sometimes they're not that great. They have activities but she doesn't participate in them, unfortunately. They have an activity department and they do things but I don't think she's interested in that. The place could do some updating as it's a little old-looking. It's hard to tell because it's winter but they seem to have some patios and stuff outside. Of course, nobody can go out there right now.

Whittier Assisted Living is too expensive. It's like $6,000 to $9,000 a month, so we actually can't afford that as assisted living place. The rehab, the PTs and the OTs are good. Mom's only been there two days. It's great, because it's out in the country, so the whole building is out in farm fields where we live in Columbia County, cause that's where I'm from, that's a bunch of farm fields, beautiful setting with trees and ponds. The rooms are nice. If I had to go somewhere myself, I'd care more that it was out in the country. The inside of the building was nice. So for me, looking at the windows at trees, maybe a cow, or deer, that's more important to me. The admissions officer was very pleasant and informative, answered all my questions, very nice and not pushy. It's not good, not bad. It's got everything you need. It's way too expensive. The value for the money, I would not give that a good mark. It costs way too much.

It is not recommended for people who have dementia. We've had issues just with the medication mostly. They are very attentive, and they do the best they can, but my mom has dementia, and Whittier is not a memory care facility. It is clean, and it is small. I think they only have 35 beds. The food is fine, and they do have daily activities; they have a monthly calendar. They have a library and a TV room, and they do outings and some fun stuff.
