Both my dad and I have had very positive experience with staff. They're happy to answer questions. I do think one of the significant changes is actually how I feel. It has given me great relief. I used to have a lot of sleepless nights. I was always worried about: what if something happened? I just feel so much relief and confidence. I know that many times a day someone is coming in to provide medication or to take his temperature or whatever. If he didn't show up at the dining room, someone would come and check... I think this relates to the social [aspect] as well. It was getting pretty isolating in his apartment. I know that if he wants to be engaged with other people, he can go out the door and find other people. That has been huge for me, too.
I live here, and enjoy it.
My father lived at the village and not a day went by that I ever had any doubt that he was receiving the best of care.
Staff were wonderful to my Dad even though he was only there for 2 months... I would recommend this place to anyone.
When we visit, it feels as 'homey' as it can for anyone with a family member with Alzheimer's Disease. None of us mind going there, it's so bright and welcoming with many comforts... Staff are terrific.
My father [lived] there for almost two years. He was very happy there, thought the staff was wonderful, and was well cared for with smiles and professionalism ... I have nothing but good things to say about Arbour Trails. You can't put a price on your loved one being cared for and happy with the care.
