My client is now at The Lynmoore at Lawnwood. They had three memory care areas, and they had an open room smaller area so she wouldn't be overwhelmed. They probably weren't the cheapest, but they were in our area of price. Everyone I talked to seemed to be nice and knowledgeable and answered all my questions. My client is in memory care and her room is very nice and we were able to take a few things and make it a little more familiar for her. It's just the right size for her. I've only had one meal with her, and it was good. She doesn't eat a lot of fancy stuff, but they have other choices that she can use. As for activities, she's not very alert as far as what you're trying to tell her, and she forgets five minutes later. But I've seen them with her coloring, and that's pretty much it. I tried to play cards with her because we used to play cards.

We chose The Lynmoore at Lawnwood for my sister-in-law. It was the best of the group, we thought. It was very nice. The people were very nice. They made some changes in their costs and all that so we could afford it, and I really appreciated that. My sister-in-law is in memory care. One of the things that I appreciated, which I didn't see in any of the other places we reviewed, was that she has her own bedroom. She has a roommate, but the roommate has her own bedroom also with a door. If they want to be alone, they can close that door, or if they want to talk to each other, they can open their door. I didn't see that feature in the others. And then they share a bathroom. The cleanliness is wonderful. I didn't see anything that I was concerned with. The staff were all very friendly and very nice to my sister-in-law. When we arrived there and we were being interviewed, all of a sudden somebody was singing and I asked the girl who was singing, and she said, 'that's one of our patients.' So we came out and there she was, singing on top of her lungs. I noticed everybody is walking by paying no attention. It didn't bother anybody and that really impressed me that she could just be herself and sing away. Whatever activities you can think of, they offer. In the middle of where their rooms are, it's all windows, so you could see out into the gardens and trees and flowers. They can go out there and there are chairs they could sit in, so they can get outside. Someone has to come with them from the memory care, but they can get outside and get fresh air, and that was very nice. The first day when my sister-in-law got there, we didn't see the food then, but the next time we came in, she was having our lunch and we sat with her while she had her lunch, and the food looked great. They gave us ice cream. It's a little pricey but they gave us a deal.

I'm pleased with The Lynmoore at Lawnwood in general. My father is in the memory care area and they've done a good job with calling us when there have been incidents. They've got a positive attitude and all the residents look happy and well taken care of. So, they make me feel pretty good about him being there. All the nurses are helpful, too. The place looks very new. They even have a calm-down room and it's painted in a soothing color. I also like that they got massage chairs and music. It just looks nice. It looks a little bit more like a hotel and they keep it up well. He just hasn't been there long enough, so I don't know much about them yet.

My mother has been at the Lynmoore for a year in their Memory Care wing -- she has received wonderful care by a staff of highly skilled, loving people. The unit is warm,intimate, and always spotless (no strange smells!) Activities go on all day for those that want to participate, meals are relaxed and span an hour or so for serving time -- very personalized arrangement! Very pleased with the care mom is getting --
