"When my grandmother was sick and suffering from dementia my family made the very difficult decision to find a nursing home. She was sent to Flora Garden Center. The facility is average, the rooms and accommodations are not exceptional but it does the trick. I would not send family members or people from out of town there however if you happen to live in the area the accommodations are appropriate and most of residents know one another. It is a small town so there are not a lot of people there which I find to be pretty nice. The place smelled a little of urine, I had never been in a nursing home before so I don't know if this is common. My grandmother stayed there for about a year. There was one nurse who was particularly kind and helped my grandmother out a lot. When my grandmother had moments of clarity she would always say that she wanted to go home. "

"When my looking for long term care insurance my parents decided to visit a few nursing homes near their house in case they would ever need to go to them and since I was my parents power of attorney I went with them. The first nursing home we visited was this Courtyard. I never wanted to ever think of a time that they would not be able to take care of themselves. But at the age of 70 they wanted to plan ahead. We visited the rehab department and saw the way they worked great with all of the residents. The chance of having a stroke increases with age and the rehab department would be an important part of their lives, if needed. Then we sat in on a Christian service they had for the residents every week. My parents both agreed this would be a great facility if you actually had to live in one and not live on your own. "

"My grandfather was in Meadowood for 4 years and was always well cared for by the staff. Every time I came up, he was always happy. It's always hard to come to the decision of where you want to place someone that means the world to you, but I wouldn't have wanted him anywhere other than here. My grandfather needed physical, speech, and occupational therapy and they had all of those types of therapy. You could really tell that the workers really loved their jobs, and more importantly, the residents. The people in the office were extremely nice, and answered all of the billions of questions my family seemed to have. I would suggest them to anyone!! "

"Wabash Retirement Center is so resident centered. My Aunt really feels at home with her new neighbors. She is in a nice large room with a sweet roommate. I seemed to be more upset about her going in the nursing home then she was. My Aunt still had a very sharp mind and we could sit and play cards for hours on end. She just couldn't remember to take her medicine when she needed to. The Nurses were so wonderful to her and would stop by and speak with me each time I would visit. The cna's really seemed to have a true respect for the residents. There job is a hard one, and I really think they do a great job. My Aunt talks about how friendly they are and how they are sweet little ladies. One of her favorite activities in the home is the arts and crafts. My Aunt has always loved making things with her hands and the ladies that work in that department have so much patience, I really feel they have a calling for what they do. "
