Right now, we have plans to bring my mother into Briarwood Continuing Care Retirement Community. It seems to be the right environment for her. We toured the memory care unit and it seemed to click. We feel comfortable having her spend the later years of her life there. It's only a 12-person memory care community. The rooms seemed nice. The people in the community themselves seem to have similar physical attributes that my mother has. It's a mobile community. Most people are walking around either with walkers or by themselves, and there were only a couple in wheelchairs. It's only like 3 miles from where her home was, and 5 miles from my sister's house. So proximity was a factor, too.
We talked to the lead person, Dani, and she was great. They have daily activities based on what the people can do in the memory unit. They try to keep them very active, which is important for us. My dad has been gone 15 years now, and so she has been living at home for 15 years, and so we think that it's positive that she can have activities, especially during the sundowning period, so she doesn't get bored and wander and all these things that can happen. The surroundings seem very homey. And because there are only 12 people here, it seems like a small tight-knit community. There's no smell, too. It just felt right.
