Wheatland Village

Reviewer#ET0813c

My mom moved to Wheatland Village. Now that we've moved her into assisted living, they've been pretty helpful. They seem to recognize her and she's been pretty pleased with that transition. Most of the staff has been pretty good. I mean, as far as our experience with them and everything. There have been some rare communication issues that we've worked through. She has said that she doesn't like some of the food, but I'm not sure. She just has her opinions about it. I guess compared to one of the other facilities we had to go to for a week, it's clean. They can put the safety stuff in place. It feels at least more like a home than a hospital. The food is certainly better than cafeteria food like you're in a college or something like that. She utilizes a lot of things. There are things that they have that I think are pretty nice to have that she's chosen not to use, but I think, she seems to like what they have as far as activities here. They provide a fair amount of variety and some things were kind of unexpected, but good. The family all lives about 300 miles away, and it has been helpful for us to have them and be able to provide this support.

Rooms are beautiful and well maintained. There are many activities offered, including an in house ice cream parlor! There is an in house restaurant but cost per meal is separate from housing cost. Small pets are allowed but NOT labrador retrievers meaning NOT dogs over certain pounds. Management staff is professional. Servers, linen staff, etc. Is hired usually from college and is often short term. Overall this facility gets 4 stars but due to common staff 3 stars.

I visited Wheatland Village. The tour was very professional. It was very complete. We had a good sample of what they offered. I liked them because there was assistance available quickly if I needed it, because I have some health issues. They would have been able to handle it much better than possibly other places. They have transportation. There are eating facilities downstairs. It isn't free meals, but at least you have accessibility to eating facilities. They have transportation and all your utilities are paid for, except WiFi and cable. The only issue that I had, which was a little bit spendy, was the moving in charges. The staff during the tour was excellent. She had good knowledge of the facilities and what were available. It's quite a large place and it has just about everything. I had pretty much a simple sandwich, but it was OK. I wouldn't say it was superb by any means. It's a marvelous looking place.

Wheatland Village is kind of like the extreme nice facility. It's beautiful. They had everything you'd ever want in a facility, beautiful exercise rooms, a pool, and the cafeteria. The dining area was beautiful. There's nothing not nice about the place. They had the full vegetarian menu available. They had a little church. It's just a very, very nice facility. The price was nice, too. It's a little more expensive than the others. Also because it is so nice, it is usually full. There were lots of activities and lots of things for the residents to do. The rooms were beautiful. They were more like apartments and set up very nicely. Even the studio apartments were a step above other facilities. Their cafeteria used to be set up, I doubt it is during Covid. It was open to the public. You can go in and order off a menu, so I've eaten there several times. I didn't really interact with anyone. It was very limited.

I took a tour of Wheatland Village and it's independent living. They have assisted living down the line if you should need it. They have everything that you would possibly need. There's an ice-cream parlor there, a chapel, and a dog area. The apartment is big enough, even as a one-bedroom, and it's really nice. The halls are wide and they're not like a motel. I liked it a lot, and you don't have to have three meals a day. I don't need three meals a day; that would be a waste. They have a pool, and the exercises are really nice. The exercise room is huge, and I'm big on the fact that they have exercise classes. They have a movie theater and a bank.

My dad has moved into Wheatland Village. It's very nice, and everything is very clean and orderly. The staff members are incredible, tuned in, friendly, and caring. We just found everything about it to be exactly what we were looking for. They have a person who does physical activity, they can lift weights on a machine, they have a bus that will take them downtown or wherever they need to go, they have scheduled walks with different groups, and they can walk around the outside of the facility for exercise. The dining area is really nice, and they just remodeled it, like they put in new carpet, new tables, and new chairs, and they painted the walls too. As for the food, my dad is pretty picky, and so far he hasn't turned anything down. There is a swimming pool, a hot tub, a workout facility, a library, a bank, and an ice cream parlor that is open from 10:00 to 3:00, and you get free ice cream. I found everybody to be most helpful, considerate, patient, and kind. The place is very clean and very well organized. They clean my dad's room, and they do his laundry. They're just on top of it. Everything is just outstanding. They don't have just assisted living there, they also have people that are just retired and living there, so there's a lot of activities, and it isn't just a bunch of older people sitting around in wheelchairs or walking around in walkers. There's energy and life in the place because of the people that live there, and that inspired me and my dad as well.
