Sandpiper Courtyard Assisted Living

My mother is in Sandpiper Courtyard Assisted Living. They make sure she's clean, they clean her bedding and her laundry, and they do it on a schedule, like Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. They're very attentive and they do little things, like they don't let her hold on to her cups, forks, or knives. They don't let her hoard these things in her room. They're professional, they check on her often, and they keep a schedule. They have activities. The facility is beautiful, it doesn't smell like old people, and it's easy for her to navigate. It's in a rectangular shape so it's not hard to navigate for somebody with Alzheimer's; that's really important. I'm paying half of what we paid in the other community.

I like Sandpiper Courtyard. It's nice and the director is dedicated to his occupants. However, my mother was without her therapy for several weeks, so she took a decline in her status. I was pretty unhappy about that and no one told me about it. It gives off a little bit more of a nursing home vibe, but it's pretty good. Her room is kept very clean. I haven't noticed any activities, which I'm not too comfortable with. They don't do much other than watch TV and pace. She finishes all of her meals, and she seems to enjoy them. The staff is sweet and they adore her. When Dad passed away, I had nurses running out to me and giving me hugs. They're excellent. It's a good value for the money.
