Somerset Assisted Living

My friend has moved into Somerset Assisted Living. What I like best is the camaraderie with other people who live there. I think that's what he's enjoying most. His apartment is lovely. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, cheerful, and kind. I had lunch with him there yesterday, and it was excellent. They have a crafts room, and there's a woman who plays the piano in the dining room every afternoon at 3:00, and that's lovely. There's a nice library with comfortable chairs, and there's a TV lounge that's also used for playing jigsaw puzzles and that kind of thing. There's a small chapel. They've got beautiful grounds. The activities are excellent.

I went to Somerset Assisted Living. It was very clean. The staff was excellent. They bent over backward to accommodate your needs. I think they had good food, even though I didn't taste it, but I know they had an in-house chef, and it sounded like everything sounded really good. I was impressed with that, but my mother-in-law decided she didn't want to go, but I would have. Even though it was in town, it was on a piece of property that was open space, green, and trees. It was beautiful. They were excellent to work with. The one-bedroom apartment was sufficient, clean-looking, and it was nice. They had puzzles, and TV, and the activity director was doing an exercise class, which was right in the commons area. And they played really fun music and there were a lot of people doing it. I know they had quilting clubs. I'm a quilter, so that was cool. They had sewing and they had a cooking area where some of the women could go and just cook stuff on their own together. I don't think you'd get bored there. And they had a monthly theme, like around the world type monthly theme, they would go to some exotic place and then they would serve the food that you would maybe get from that country or wherever they were, and then some of their activities were geared toward that. Out back there was a beautiful patio with chairs and tables, you looked out towards the trees. It was all a big green area. And they had a walking path that went around because I know the girl said a lot of women get together and do their walking. It was a beautiful setting.

My uncle will be moving into Somerset Assisted Living. I was impressed with it. It seemed very clean and I know that it's OK because my 90-year-old aunt is there. The room is nice and large, but we didn't go in. We sat outside, and they explained in about ten minutes. They're very pleasant. Because of COVID nobody could go in. My aunt is there, and with her recommendations we chose that one. The studio is larger than in the other place we visited, and it's closer to our home. My uncle was assessed via Zoom, but he will be moving in, so they'll be able to do more. The residents were wearing masks, but we didn't go in. The staff was very nice and accommodating. We saw the amenities just online.

They said they could do hospice, yet my dad ended up with a bedsore the size of a salad plate over his tailbone, black, no blanching just dead skin. He broke his hip there and died 4 days later. Medical examiner and protective services involved.

My folks are both in Somerset for the past six years and they enjoy staying there, but my father gets worse and they move him a half walk away in the other building. As long as he is mobile, he can stay there, but when he gets bedridden, we will have to move him to a different place. However, right now it is going great. He needs to be clean up quite often and he needs reminder to go to lunch and dinner. His mind is pretty far gone in Alzheimer’s. My mom just texts me and says he has adjusted well. He allows people to take care of him and they seem to be taking really good care of him. The maintenance, the grounds and the building all seem to be in very good shape.

Recently I went a place called Somerset that was very nice, clean, and newer. The rooms were smaller. The people were nice, pleasant, and very friendly.
