Hope Senior Living

My mom is at Hope Senior Living. All of the staff members are very kind and helpful. She has been in the rehab side of it twice now, and she just got moved into the senior living apartments a week ago, but at both times in rehab and now this time in the senior living apartment, she said that everybody is very, very helpful and kind. She is happy with the services she has been getting the entire time. They serve three meals a day, and then with the assisted living, they give you as much help as you need, which I'm sure most of them do. Right now, because of her amputation on her foot, she needs extra help getting into and out of bed, and so they are there for that. They come down to her room, and they wheel her up to the lunch room instead of her having to try to get there herself or something. They're really making it easier for this first month or two with a little bit of extra care than what she is hoping she might need in the future. The staff members are very caring. They seem to be truly interested in her and what she needs. The food is pretty good. My mom used to be a home economics teacher, so of course, we grew up on all healthy homemade meals, so she is kind of having to adjust to things like tater tots and chicken nuggets here and there. She is pickier that way because she wouldn't normally feed us that type of thing at home, so she has to do a little adjusting with more of the prepackaged type stuff. The facilities are very clean. We've watched the cleaning girl do each room individually. She is even wiping down the lamp cords. It is a very detailed cleaning. I wouldn't have any complaints with that at all. Activities are going on every day. I looked at it for today, and I think they had something like shoulder massage, manicure, or fingernail clipping. They have a coffee clutch and a trivia session. Each day is something different. They had bingo. One other day, they had live music. One was a polka type band, and another one was a guy that took requests from the clients. They were all very into that, and it was good. So they have several activities a day. They really try to switch it up and have different things.
