Above & Beyond Senior Living (Mountain View)

Above and Beyond was excellent. Everybody seemed cooperative, friendly, and willing to accommodate the needs of the individual. The owner is wonderful, and her personality and attitude was commendable. The eating schedule was flexible, and this was important to me. They also have a choice of different rooms. It wasn’t a modern or fancy place, but it was homey and comfortable.

My sister-in-law did find a home for my mother-in-law. So far we have been very pleased with the way the facility looks. It’s very cheerful inside, and they are in the process or remodeling; they are putting new flooring in. They have very nice dining room. They provide many activities, and it seems to be very clean. She has a private room; it has very nice furnishings in it. There is a single bed, double dresser, and a nightstand. There is a chair, and a table you could put a TV on. They seemed to be very professional. They do the bingo, during the month of September, they had one morning where they made pies, and then in the afternoon they ate pie. One other week they baked cookies, and in the afternoon they had cookies and tea. They take them on trips, and I believe that there is a nominal fee when they take them away from the residents like that, they take to restaurants, zoo and for lunch, shopping, and they have a manicurist who comes in, so they can get their nails done if they sign up for it. They also have a beauty salon facility there, which you have to make an appointment for. Every Wednesday, they have a gentleman who comes and he plays music and he sings oldies that these people would be able to relate to, some of them have dancing, and there are sing-alongs. They do beverages and do finger foods for them like cheese and crackers. They hold a church service, and every morning they have a couple of different types of exercise classes that they hold. They keep them very busy, if they wish to be involved.

My mother is at Above and Beyond. The staff are very caring with their patients. They make sure that they are taking care of the residents. It’s a nice and cozy facility with a fireplace with chairs. The place is also very clean. The food is all right.
