We toured The Atrium at Oak Crest Residence. We were hoping that that this was where my sister-in-law could go. They had a more controlled situation. We obviously were able to discuss her health needs with the facility, and they were willing to work on her specific situation because they had another resident who had the exact same diagnosis she had. They were willing to help her live independently in an apartment type situation, instead of a memory care situation. There was an understanding between all of us that she probably was being too heavily medicated for her condition, and this is what has caused a lot of her problems.
The facility was very nice. It's a not-for-profit. It's not like they're out to get you. They also stated that they work with people towards end-of-life or when money go south. They're not quick to throw you out of the facility. It was quiet, and it looked like a very calming place to be. We looked at the independent area and went to the memory section of the facility. The memory section is an older part of that building. We spent the most of our time in the independent section.
The rooms were very nice and very spacious. There were single suites, double suites (for husband and wife or mother and daughter). It had a very nice kind of apartment feel to it or your own little place. It was very clean and very up-to-date. It's a very nice little facility.
The manager was the one who spent the time with us to talk about the facility and showed the whole facility and the kind of things that they could do. She was extremely helpful. She gave us a complete booklet with pricing, just everything about the actual facility itself, and about the doctors that come in to the facility. It was very informative. They offer a lot of really great amenities.
The two dining rooms that they have were very nice. They have a pub in the lower level of the building. They can go down there and have a meal and hang out with their friends. It's a big opportunity for them to try the dining room or go to the pub and enjoy the meal there. The staff was very informative and very compassionate, and that's a big deal.

Our visit to Oak Crest and Atrium Apartments was very nice, and the people there were very nice. It's just that the place was smaller than we wanted. We saw the place and talked to the people. They have a nice community dogs and they accept pets. There was nothing wrong with it, but it was just not a good fit for us. The staff seemed very nice, they were friendly, and also informative.

We were not impressed with Oak Crest. They did not have a 2-bedroom, but they offered two 1-bedroom apartments side by side. They were very small, there was hardly anything in the kitchen, and you couldn't fit a table in there. The living room and the bedroom windows were the only windows. However, I was impressed with their basement; they had a room that's like you're walking into a pub, and they had a huge screen TV and a gourmet kitchen that was available to the residents.

I can't begin to put into words the gratitude and appreciation I and my family all have for the wonderful care my mother receives. You know and do things that are special to her from smiles to rereading letters from family to sharing words of care and a helping hand during meals. The list could go on. You have become part of our family
