"My aunt was diagnosed with early on-set Alzheimer's in the 90's. It runs in the family so it wasn't too much of surprise, but the onset was earlier than most. For the first 3 years she lived at home, then as it got worse, she moved into a nursing home, however, the nursing home she moved into was not equipped to handle her Alzheimer's. They were open and honest about the problem and even did some research to help find a good place for her. They suggested two places, of which one was Court Manor in Ashland, WI, a Golden Living Center. At first my family was hesitant about a "chain", but we were pleasantly surprised by the walk-through. The site director and two of the memory specialists they have met with us on our walkthrough. They discussed what they did differently and demonstrated they knew what they were talking about. While our focus was on the ability of the site to manage my aunt, we were impressed by the other amenities, a resident garden(my aunt still loves gardening), workout room and an on-site hairdresser. My aunt has lived here now for nearly 10 years. Her memory has been relatively stable the last 5 years and she is very happy here. "
