"My mother is in memory care at Clark Retirement at Franklin. It's very clean, very nice, well appointed, and well equipped. They have many things to do for the residents and excellent dining. The staff is very caring. They get to know their residents very well and form a good relationship with them. They're constantly looking in on and taking care of my mom. She's rarely alone for more than just a short time. They really seem to care about their residents. I've gone to dinner several times with my mom, and the food is very good and lots of it. My mom is complaining she's gaining weight. They have a posted schedule that if you go to their website, you could find it. They have daily activities. I observed a jewelry class, exercise class, and music. They brought horses in for the residents to see. Onsite they have a chapel so that the residents can go to religious mass. They play Jeopardy and different games every night at 6:30 after dinner. They have a movie that they can gather around the big screen TV and watch together. Every day there are things for them to do or not. Every day there are optional activities for the residents to partake in. Once a week or maybe once every two weeks, they have a bigger trip where you can get on a bus and they take you to different things. The last trip I saw them that was available was a trip down to the Grand Rapids Art Museum. For residents that are capable of doing that kind of thing, they can sign up for it. They drive them down. They watch them very carefully and make sure that everybody's safe. It's pretty cool where they have these outside activities as well. It's a little older facility. They have been in business for many, many years. They could use some freshening up of the facilities and so forth. However, it's perfectly clean. It's well maintained, but they could modernize some of the things. Everything is structurally sound. Before my mom moved into this place, they repainted her entire room, ripped out the existing carpet, and put all new carpet in. The place is just perfect. They could offer a few more activities though. I did a lot of searching around town before I made the decision. Their rates are very, very competitive. You get the same as other places that would be charging 30% more. It's a good financial deal."
