Sumter Grove Senior Living

Suzanne

I went to look at Sumter Grove Senior Living. The facility looked very clean. It's an attractive building. I saw people sitting out on the porch in rocking chairs, and they were smiling and very pleasant. I actually had one of the caregivers there come up to me and engage me in a conversation. She was enthusiastic about the facility, and about the people that she took care of. I have an idea of the menus and things like that. Going down the hallways, the rooms were set up. It reminded me of a village versus an apartment thing, or anything like that. My impression was that it was like I was getting street addresses for each of the rooms. They had open areas along the way where they had chairs and benches. The room I saw was a studio room. It had quite a bit of space in it. They had a little counter. The rooms were spotless. There was good closet space, which is important when you're leaving a full house and want a place to put things that you really want to keep. I think I saw a microwave and a small refrigerator. The bathrooms were spotless. They were very wheelchair- or walker accessible. They showed me the dining room and where they can have group meetings. I saw a group of people getting together to play bingo. They had a very accessible type of nursing station. The people working there were very friendly. The people who lived there would stop by and chat with them for a few minutes, so that led me to feel that they were comfortable with these people. The staff knows their people. They had an outside area where they could smoke. They have transportation to and from doctors' appointments in town. They take the residents to special events. The whole place gave me a good feeling. It was a wonderful experience. They had some area out in the back if they wanted to take their walkers. They had nice landscaping. I did not see or hear anything that set up any flags.

My dad was here, and it was a wonderful place. I wanted to put him back, but they didn't have anything available at that time. They offered bingo, they had transportation to take the residents shopping, and they did that once a week. They had the transportation to take them to any doctors' appointment, they arranged for visits out to like Swan Lake, they had a movie night, they did socialization in a room where all of the residents would get together and socialize, and they played board games and card games. They were very personable. I just can't say enough good things about the staff there. During Easter, they invited the whole family to come in, they made a big Easter dinner for the family members and the residents there. It was a very family-oriented facility.

It was a fairly big area, and everything was good there. The eating area was nice, and they had a lot of security. The staff during the tour was very good, very knowledgeable, and showed us all around the place. They had weight rooms, exercise rooms, and tours.

The staff here is very courteous and caring. There are a lot of activities for the residents. Mom has a very nice room located near the courtyard that is handicap-accessible ad clean. Everything is done well.

My sister has been in here for five years now. She's doing well and she likes it there. She's getting beyond assisted care. Everything has been very nice.
