We toured Sagewood at Daybreak. It's a very great facility. We did the memory care side. It's beautiful. They have a very welcoming entrance, and people were friendly. The facility was great. Everything was clean, and the rooms were very nice. They were having a dance-singing activity when we were there, and the people seemed to be really enjoying it. It wasn't mealtime, so I didn't see any food. I saw the dining area, and it was nice. The person who assisted me there was great, too.
Sagewood at Daybreak was a nice place. It looked like a 5-star hotel, but the price was like a 5-star hotel too, and it's out of my budget. The attention was pretty nice. The care and everything was awesome. They have memory care, assisted care, they had activities all day, all the days of the week, and different kinds of food. This place was awesome. If I can afford it, I'd put my mom there. It's just way too much money.
When you enter the place, you first go to the assisted living, and then you go to the memory care, which is a more private place because they have people that need special care. I visited both and both looked awesome. There's also a pretty old lady playing the piano for everyone in the memory care. There's music on one of the corners. They were watching TV and having an explanation of how to change the channel or look for what they want to see on TV. There's a different kind of severity of the people in memory care, but everyone seemed happy and looking clean.
It's a nice place. The staff was awesome. As soon as I got into the door, I saw my name saying, "Welcome (client's name)." Quickly, one of the staff approached me and asked me, gave me the tour, and explained everything. They gave me a tour of all the places, the kitchen, the dining room, the living room, and the patio. The lady that made the appointment with me was awesome. She also offered me to stay in contact if I need something even if I won't be able to put my mom there. Also, the guy that guided me through the tour was amazing.
They gave me the calendar for activities and the diet for the week. They had activities that were out of the norm. They have activities hour by hour. This is a completely new building, and everything inside makes you feel warm like you are at home. It's a really elegant place. It's the place that I would put my mom, but I cannot afford that high price.
We toured Sagewood at Daybreak for my husband, and it was a beautiful facility. The rooms were very nice -- I guess they're called apartments -- and it was very well decorated and spacious. I don't know if it was due to the time that we got there, because it was fairly early, but I didn't see a lot of interaction between the caregivers or the staff and the patients. Maybe it was because we were there at breakfast time and they were eating breakfast. The person who gave us the tour was wonderful. She gave us all the information we needed and broke down what the plan would be, and it was very nice. The place was pretty homey and very spacious.
