2 Nursing Homes Communities in Daphne, Alabama

The Brennity at Daphne is a nice and clean building. Housekeeping is nice. The staff seemed friendly and nice. On mom's first day there, they had somebody playing the piano and singing. But at their first opportunity, they tried to ship my mom to hospital. They gave her sleeping medicine so she'll sleep at night because they want people not to walk around and be any trouble. A week before that, I spent all night at the hospital because they claimed my mom had distressed breathing, but in the hospital they did all the tests and sent her back because there was nothing wrong. She was sleeping. The first week there, they sent my mom to the hospital because she had an infection. When she got back out, four days later I spent all night at the hospital because they said that my mom didn't seem like she was getting enough oxygen. I have an oximeter at my house and I put it on her finger, and her oxygen level was nearly as high as mine. Whoever's the nurse needs to care a little bit more.

The Brennity at Daphne is sort of an upscale assisted living community. It's very well-decorated, clean, and it smelled good. The food is pretty good. It's where my mom ended up going so I have eaten there several times now. It kind of fluctuates. Sometimes it's really good, but other times it's not. Someone comes in to do their hair twice a month, they have art classes, they have arts and crafts every day, and game times every day where they play bingo and card games. Every month they have a theme. Last month it was Olympics, so they did a lot of different activities that they could win medals for. It was really cute. They would also take the residents on appointments and to outings. When I was down there the last time that big Powerball lottery was going on, so they just took a busload of residents and went and bought lottery tickets. They keep them busy, and they also have dances and music weekly, church services, and a ton of stuff to do.
