"My mother moved to the assisted living facility of StoneBridge The Villas in De Soto. Currently, we're dealing with an air conditioner issue. We're having a major heat wave, and they don;t have control over the temperatures in their own apartments. It's an older facility, and they're doing the best that they can, out of the circumstances, because everyone's air conditioners are struggling with this heat. The staff members were just really easy to work with. The social worker we were working with was working great and allowed things to go as easily as possible. They also have the nursing care people, they do the OT and PT, and they can even do the labs and some of the other stuff there. It's just been a great experience so far. My mom is 84 and extremely picky about food. Within the first week that she was there, I ate a couple of meals with her, because family members are allowed to eat with their relatives if they choose to, and they don't charge you for that. In my opinion, the food was good. They're home-cooked meals, the kind of meals that I would have had when I was growing up. My mom positively loves them, overall. She said they're really good, although sometimes, they overcook the breakfast just a bit. They have a library section with large prints, and they are changed every so often by the city library that we have in De Soto. They also have an activity room. They do activities, although not as many as some other places might have. They have an 8:30 exercise class for anyone who wants to do it, and they always have something at 11 o'clock. It could be games or some kind of a mental activity that keeps the brain active and working well. I would call that a memory enhancement activity. They have something in the afternoon, too. They do a lot of bingo, and there is a small area where they can watch DVDs and movies. They can even do a movie night if they want to. They have a puzzle section there, with all these huge puzzles that they can work on if they want to, any time during the day. They also have a lot of individual types of stuff. They have exercise and equipment in the rehab. They are keeping the place very clean. The maintenance people are amazing. They're there Monday through Friday. You don't see them as much on the weekends, but they will come in for emergencies. It's not a top-of-the-line fancy facility, but this one is inclusive with its price. Everything is included, even my mom's hair getting washed and styled by a beautician. They even do nails there, as well. You can't compare it to the big fancy places that have a theater built in with the seats and the screen. This facility is more of a home-type theater, like when your family sits down to watch a movie. It's going to be that kind of a theater experience. I've lived here since '95, and I've taught here since '84, and it's been here that long. It's gone through different name changes. It was built as a recreation place, way back, so it is not a brand new facility. Aside from the price, we chose this place because my mom liked it when she toured it. They also have a number of different apartment set ups. They're individual, so you do not have to share with someone else. You just pick the size that fits you and your budget. Having her own patio outside was also a big decision because not all of the rooms have that. Another thing is the location. It's right here where we live, so it's really close."
