Wake Robin Life Care Retire

Gail

The tour we had at Wake Robin was very nice. What I didn't like was that of course, you're in Vermont, it was a hilly location, so there were different levels for different buildings. There were walkways and I thought for older people, it would be a little difficult getting around. I didn't think the inside was as nice. It was an older facility, but my daughter had raved about it. She said everyone she knows loves it there. They had lots of activities for everybody. They were having an ice cream social and there were quite a few people at that. They also had art, woodworking, tennis and pickleball, and an exercise room. They were a little more expensive. I think they're about $4500, but you would automatically move into assisted living without an increase in cost. To me, that seemed more desirable to an elderly person.

The staff tend to be bossy and intrusive and treat intelligent adults like idiots with much disrespect. The facility is run down and not worth the money.

Wake Robin seems to be a wonderful place, though very expensive. All the apartments are nice and well equipped and there are ample community spaces, including pool tables, libraries, gardens, walking trails, etc. Peace of mind is almost quaranteed because of the onsite medical staff and round-the-clock care. When my step grandmother had to be moved into the 24 hour care facility (on site) it went really smoothly, even though she was reluctant to go. The nurses in that wing are so great and they cheerfully do all the tasks required of taking care of elderly people in their last stages of life. They even follow Alzheimer's patients around to make sure they don't get in trouble! If I could ever afford to go there when I need to stop living at home, I would.
