My mother is staying at American House Jenison for respite. She is on her second month, and she is in memory care. It's a newer facility. It's about eight years old, very well maintained, and very clean. It's very close to where I live, so it's easy access. I could literally walk there if I had to. I'm not there during the day. From what I kind of see at night, I think the staff could be more attentive (and I'm there a lot).
There are activities. One thing that I have found with memory care patients is they don't necessarily read the board and say, "Today, the saxophonist is coming. I think I want to go to that, so I'm going to tell the nurse I want to go to that." I have to ask them to make sure they go to her room and take her. Sometimes they remember, sometimes they don't. I feel like when somebody is in a place like that, it's pretty dull on a daily basis. You just pretty much are in a room. If you don't participate, it makes it a very long day. I feel like I have to get on them to say, "Hey, today the saxophone player is going to be there. Make sure you go ask her or take her. If she says no, you just take her" that type of thing.
I have noticed that they have musicians. They take bus trips. They have cart rides, and they have a painter come in. They have dual activities every week. One week I noticed that they had three activities. They have an exercise morning. They stay pretty active in that sense. The dining area is clean, but the food is average.
I feel like when you go in and sign up, they sing a high song. Then when you're there and you see what's going on (on a consistent basis), I realized no. When they say they walk around every two hours, that is incorrect. They do not. They should be more engaging, not just sit at a front desk and look at a screen that shows the hallway. They just see a resident walking over to the neighbor's place and stuff like that.

My mother will be moving into American House Jenison in their memory care unit called Sandalwood. We chose it because of the proximity. My brother lives literally five minutes away, and they have six friends that are all within five minutes. It's a nice facility. I've been in there, and we have other people that we know that have stayed in there, but it really came down to location.
They did a virtual tour and then my brother and I were in there last week. It's an older building, but it's been redone and it was immaculate. The painting was fresh and the carpets were squeaky clean. It looked brand new. The person that we interacted with was outstanding, and we met a couple of other people as well. I've been going back and forth with that staff by email, and she's been outstanding.
My mom has a corner unit with two windows and another window in the bedroom. The residents can comingle, but they're still not having full group dinners and activities. You can visit outside, but not inside. My dad would have been assisted living within the same unit as my mom in the memory care unit. They have independent living and a number of buildings built like elementary schools relative to a high school. It's a pretty big campus, but they're creating a sense of smallness by having fewer people per building. The number of residents in Sandalwood is only 40. Rather than having 200 people all in one building, they have five buildings with 40 people.

American House Jenison is a very nice facility, everything was clean, it appeared new, and the staff was very nice. There was an activity room, a dining room, and it was a small group of patients, so it was a small dining room.
