Dayspring Assisted Living

Phil Wilkins

This place was a god send for my brother. He could no longer live by himself and we found Dayspring. From the first visit with Erin we felt a comfort that our brother would fit in and be fine. He’s well taken care of. He gets fed well and to his Dr appointments. The folks at Dayspring look after him and he likes the staff.

We stayed at Dayspring Assisted Living for five weeks. I needed a place to recover from a complete hip replacement, and my husband couldn't take care of things, so we both went out there for short-term respite care. It was not as fancy as the other places, but the food was good. The people who take care of you were very nice, friendly, and helpful, and they had a nursing staff 24/7. It was fine, and it served our purposes well. They did things like they would have different groups come in and do Bingo with the residents once a week, and, of course, they provided transportation for any problems or things that you needed to do in town, like doctors' appointments and that sort of thing. Also, they would take people out probably twice a week; for example, they had breakfast at Danny's one morning. Every other week, they'd take a morning group and an afternoon group to Walmart for any shopping they wanted to do. They took people fishing, and then they had two different cookouts. They have a pavilion where they can cook outside. They had a group came in and brought like a picnic thing, and they cooked hotdogs and hamburgers on their grill out there. They had different common areas where you could go and watch TV with somebody or put together a puzzle, or you could go out on the porch and watch the birds, the deer, and whatever.

When Trish was the administrator and Mike was activities director, the atmosphere at Dayspring was very caring. The current director is very impersonal. Rarely takes time to talk to residents or their family members.
