The Pavilion Senior Living at Lebanon

Jean

Our experience having my mother-in-law in the memory care unit of The Pavilion has been great. The people there are very friendly and helpful, and they keep good tabs on her. They've allowed her to have a room to herself because we felt like she would prefer that. She has a nice apartment. Another reason we picked this community is because my mother-in-law doesn't walk easily and has a walker, and there's not a lot of places to walk. There's a couple of hallways, a main room that has the dining area, the lounge, and the main hall with all of the apartments. The nurses' station is right in those areas, so they can keep an eye on everybody or who's out of their room. They check up on her when she's in her room and make sure she gets her laundry done and has taken her shower. They've taken good care of her, so we're relieved. The room that she has could be shared with two bedrooms and has a little kitchen area with a bathroom. She has the whole place to herself. It's really spacious for her, and she enjoys it. There's also an assisted living side to it other than the memory care, and everybody seems to know who we are which was nice. They're really friendly and often would give us updates that she's getting along with everybody. They went through a transition with her, with what she might need such as medication and other help, so they've adjusted to it and it's comfortable for her as far as medication goes, she seems to be content. They're always happy to talk to us about her, and come get her if she's late for a meal to make sure she's OK. They're really attentive and they keep eyes on everybody. Another nice thing about it is that it's right behind our hospital here, so that's very convenient if we need help. She likes the meals and enjoys the activities. They keep them entertained, and the layout is so convenient for her. There's no way she could get lost in The Pavilion; it's one of the things we're happy about because her memory is off. Compared to other places I've looked at, the value for the cost is reasonable.
