Lake Wylie Assisted Living and Memory Care

Reviewer#JM020324a

It was more homey for my mother-in-law. The people were more welcoming. The residents that were there were very friendly. It's an older building. It's a little less expensive because you're not paying for all the modern looks. They have activities and meals. There are three floors, and each floor has four caregivers, so if one of the patients needs something, they're right there. They have all the appliances. The staff member was fantastic. There wasn't a question that we asked her that she didn't answer. She was very upfront and helpful. Their activity room was kind of in disarray. They're doing some kind of Disney feature, so it was a wreck. If it didn't have the sign out front, you would think it was an apartment building.

At the time, they told me the shortest respite care they offer is 30 days and I was looking for something shorter than that. It was a very nice facility and people seemed to be very active as I went through both areas of assisted and memory and people seemed to be engaged. However, when I visited a room that they had opened, it was unoccupied at the time, I thought it was very dismal. I know that people don't stay there in that room during the day, but it was very small. It probably would only accommodate a single bed and maybe one piece of furniture and a chair. I was not impressed with the size. It was less than 10 x 10. The staff during the tour was very nice. She was new, so she had to get back to me with a couple of questions that I had posed although she was very accommodating and the intake person was very, very nice. I only was in contact with two people. When they got back to me and told me that it would be a 30-day minimum, I didn't pursue it any further.
