Concerned relative

We have a relative that is being referred to the memory care unit. We toured the memory care unit at the mansion. It smelled bad the moment the door was opened. The floors, walls and rooms were filthy with damages and filth on walls and floors. The meal was presented in a very unappetizing fashion. The staff looked unkept and unprofessional. For the amount these patients pay for their care, there is no excuse for the lack of dignity offered to them. Our hearts are heavy after viewing what these elders are enduring.

We used Right at Home Edmond for my husband as a babysitter. If I needed to go to a doctor, I would call them and they'd come and visit with him for a while. Both caregivers we had were very good. Their care was excellent.

The rooms that I saw there were very nice, the place itself is also very nice, and it has a pool. Their grounds ae very nice and there's a pond that you can go fishing on if you want to. It's also located in a nice part of town. They also have activities like outings, games like bingo, and whatnot. I only met one lady. She was a resident who also lived there, but she was also showing people the apartments. It was a toss up between this place and the one I'm currently in. The thing that got me to pick the other one was the size of the room and the location. The layout was nice and the facilities were nice. Each apartment had a storage facility where the residents can put their Christmas decorations or seasonal stuff.

My mother moved into the Mansion at Waterford. It was hard getting started, but it's getting better day by day. She likes having access to more activities. I think she's settling in nicely, although there were some rough edges at first. The room is wonderful, and they totally renovated it to her liking before she moved in there. It's very bright and cheerful. They have more than enough activities for her, including transportation to and from Walmart, and to her doctors' appointments.

My mother is a resident of Lyndale Edmond. It's a well-run, non pretentious, homey atmosphere where they genuinely care about the residents. The staff is great and very attentive. They have apartments, they have variety, 1 bed, 2 beds, studios, lake-side, and not lake-side options. They have a completely full monthly schedule, regular meals, they have special themes, jazz nights, they have different musical groups that play, they have excursions, and everybody has plenty to do. The library is very nice, it's managed by a former librarian, the exercise room is going to be improved, and it needs it. I found the management and staff more personable than the other places I visited.
