I've had mom placed in Silver Treasures at Lane for the last month. I was impressed. It was clean. It had no odors about it at all. When I wanted to speak to a resident, the owner walked away and allowed me to have that conversation privately, which impressed me because I felt they had nothing to hide. They were very accommodating and worked with me. It was a great experience. The staff is excellent and very attentive to the residents. They're always doing something with the residents. They have them outside, maybe doing an activity or they may be working on some physical therapy-type stuff. They're wonderful. The food and the chef are amazing. They have some puzzles and books. There was a lady that I saw working outside and her family member had brought her a piece of fleece to tie a knot to make the blanket and the staff was helping with that. They have the TV in the entryway going all the time with music, sometimes game shows and things like that. When I went over to look, they had the room staged and they had furniture in there. They moved that out, and I brought my mom's own things. I am going to buy her a small refrigerator for her room, but there was one in there and they have left it for her to use until I buy hers. They have a screened, closed-in back porch, then they have a front patio that runs along the front of the building where they have rocking chairs and tables. They just opened, so they're brand new and they only are going to max out at 32 residents, which I think for any family that was a selling point. I didn't need to worry about 150 residents because they get left behind when you have that many, plus your cost are higher. After all, you have to hire people to try to cover that. The size of the facility was a big selling point for me as well. They can have pets. They have three different sized rooms up to a two-bedroom. My dad spent years in three different nursing homes. I went in with this mindset and when I walked in there, it took everything away. They always have time to talk with you. They let you be in charge, too, of what's going on and they try to work with you.

I love Silver Treasures at Lane, but they do not take Medicaid. It was all private pay and it was very expensive, but it was absolutely beautiful. It was all private suites and you would have your own bathroom and a little kitchenette area. It was like a hotel suite. The place was very small, it only holds 16 residents, and it's family run. They only had seven residents at the time, so it's very quiet. The dining room was beautiful, the rooms were beautiful, and they had an activity room, which was small, but well equipped with books, puzzles and coloring books. The suite had a living room with a closet and a bedroom big enough for a queen-sized bed, a very large closet, a nightstand and a dresser. If I've got the money to do it, I would do it in the blink of an eye. Everybody looked happy. It's in a wooded area and it's very nice. The activities director took me on the tour and she was super sweet and very nice. I liked her a lot.
