When it came close to the time to place my father into assisted living, I checked into and visited a number of places. Some were not active enough. Some seem to have to much activity for my father. I wanted him to be in a place where there was activity but not be overwhelmed. The majority of the places seemed to be more interested in impressing the family than caring for the resident.
Holy Family Manor is a simple place that seems to care more about the residents. Families are important, but the residents come first. The care staff enjoy their jobs, which make taking care of the elderly easier. They try to engage each resident several times of the day. Reminding them of activities and encouraging them to participate. They make sure they go down to the dinning area for their meals. If they don't show up someone goes to remind them it is meal time and coax them or assists them to go down and eat.
Although the building is older the care that is provided and the cost is well worth it especially since he has his own room with a powder room.
Always a hard decision to make when you have to place a loved one into assisted living. I feel comfortable knowing that my dad is being taken care of the staff are helpful and are attentive to his care needs.
When I first went for a tour and information, I had a very peaceful feeling. I knew this was right place. Holy Family Manor may not be for everyone but it is worth your time to check it out and see what they have to offer.

My Momma is in Holy Family Manor, and it is only 10 minutes from our house. We are impressed with it. We chose it because of the cost, location, and staff. They are very accommodating. She has a single room. They have entertainment, activities, bingo, dominoes, and crafts. They have a lot of activities for the residents. They have thanksgiving dinner where they have dinner at the auditorium. They have Christmas dinner there. Since she's not very mobile, we can have dinner with her as a family.
Memory Care Reviews for Holy Family Manor

I visited this facility
The Community at Holy Family Manor had a room for the women filled with fancy dresses and jewelry, and a crib with a baby doll in it to hold for those whose mental capacities were failing. For the men, they had a room with mailboxes, office equipment, typewriters, and things so that they could feel like they were going to work. That sort of impressed me that knowing that they were providing these kinds of things that might make patients feel like they were going to work or taking care of their child. Each caregiver has to take care of six people, so that is an OK ratio. However, since they weren’t allowed to use bed alarms, I was afraid that my dad would be on the floor all night long. The community was clean. It’s an older building with small rooms that included a bed, a dresser, a commode, and a sink. The person who showed me around took a lot of time answering my questions, and it seemed like a very caring community. If I had to pick somewhere right now, I would lean toward Community at Holy Family Manor for the attention they paid to those in a very small memory care unit with a maximum of 12 people in it.

My dad is at Holy Family Manor. They have private rooms for him and that was basically the main reason why we had him in there. They are also willing to take people who are combative at times, in their locked unit in memory care. The staff are really doing pretty as much as well as they can.
