South Hill Village

My brother moved into South Hill Village two weeks ago. It's in a beautiful location, and the people I've met so far have been really good. He's down in the memory care, and I think they could use a little more staff. I think they run themselves ragged, but everybody I've met there has been really nice. Everything's nice, neat, and clean; he's clean, and it smells clean. His room is adequate; it's a private room. He does private pay. We got him a hospital bed, a chair, and a TV. The bathroom is nice and big. We put a cabinet in there, and it comes with a closet. It's not huge or anything, but really when it comes down to it, you don't need a lot -- you just need the things to take care of him. He has clothes, shoes, and everything else that he needs. And if they suggest something else, then we go for it, since they know more than we do. The place is pretty cool because the rooms are down these hallways, and then there's an open area with tables; I was surprised when they got it set up. They had folded napkins, and I'm assuming the glasses are plastic, not glass, although I'm not sure. So they have tables set up in there, and then they have another area where people can come in, and it's kind of similar to a sectional but not exactly that. There's a big screen TV and then there's some other stuff over there, like a touch-game thing which I haven't seen anybody use. But it's always nice and clean, and it smells great. They have some exercises. The outside is beautiful. We took my brother out there yesterday, and they have lounge furniture. We got to sit, talk, and enjoy ourselves. It's a lot cooler back there, and they have a gazebo in the back.
