McCallum Assisted Life

I toured McCallum Assisted Life. I liked the location of it. It's in a nice suburban tucked-away location, and it seemed like a safe location. It's a nice neighborhood. However, I found it depressing, very low lighting, and there were no activities taking place. Some people were in a room watching TV. I guess that was like a day room or community room. Other than that, I didn't see any activity happening. The staff who gave the tour was really good and competent. They were cleaning when I was in there, so I couldn't tell, but as far as the physical condition, it looked run-down to me. They showed me a double room. It was a really small room for two people. There was an air conditioner in the window, and there was stuff stuffed around the air conditioner to block the air. But it wasn't professionally done. It was like somebody's nephew came in there and did it. Based on that, the maintenance, in terms of keeping things fixed, didn't look like it was being done regularly by professional contractors. That's just how it looked to me.

I went to McCallum Assisted Life. I saw a room with a shared bathroom. The staff told me the price point. They have a doctor every month that comes out to the location. They do things for them, they have activities, and they do the medication. I like the location. The staff was very friendly, very knowledgeable, and informative. It's an older facility, but it was nice and clean. They had a patio. They did show me the board where they have activities.

My step father stayed at this facility and all seemed well until one day at 4am I received a call from my mother crying saying that my stepdad had died. I called the facility only to find they never accurately checked for a pulse. It was a super stressful day and we made funeral arrangements etc. All we received was a sorry that did not seem genuine. We removed our loved one from this home and never looked back at this place that made us feel unhuman.

My family member lives here and loves it. They are willing to talk to her and food is great.

My sister is at McCallum LLC. It is near our home. The room is fine. My sister likes it too. She has her own bathroom. So far, since she has been there, she has been in the room by herself, but there is a room for one other person. I absolutely recommend this facility. It is a nice community. It is quiet. My sister likes it.

My first impressions were that McCallum Assisted Life was dingy and the people seemed lethargic. I did see two rooms there and they were below average. I wouldn't be comfortable staying there or having my mom stay there either. The room seems small and cramped. The furniture seems old and outdated. There was just not much attention to the décor at all. The person at the front desk was friendly. She smiled and greeted me and then I took a tour with the owner -- he was very personable. He seemed to really be proud of the facility, but I thought they had a lot of work to do. I saw the arts and crafts teacher with a small group of people doing a class. They had an activity calendar posted on the wall. They had a lot of veterans there. If someone is a veteran and they wanted to have other veterans as a peer group there, that would be a good place for them. I didn't see a lot of really warm interaction there. It didn't seem like there was any kind of organized thing going on except for the art class with about four people in it downstairs -- everybody else was just watching television.
