B.P.
My mom is at The Fountains at Mill Cove. She has been there for about a year and a half now. The location had a lot to do with why we chose it. Her home was 30 minutes away on the other side of town, and it is like 10 to 15 minutes from my house, so it was much closer to me. They have activities directors who have a schedule of activities that they do with the residents. With dementia, they have an activity room in the unit she's in now. Some things go on in the morning and then in the afternoon. Because she doesn't like to stay in a room, she likes to go to the activity room. There are a variety of different things that go on.
I have not tried the food, but my mom has gained weight, and she especially likes desserts. However, I don't think their maintenance is as good as it should be. It is an old facility, but the unit that she's in is not as old. I don't know exactly when it was remodeled, but it has been remodeled. It's pretty clean, too. They make a pretty good effort. Of course, like a lot of facilities, it's hard to keep enough staff.
The memory care unit is constructed differently, which is more helpful. Of course, they're locked in. The construction of the memory care unit is rectangular with gathering areas on the inside. The dining area and the activity room are on the inside. The outside is the rooms for the residents so it's easier for the staff to get to the residents.
Some days staff members may not show up, and there's not enough help, but I would say most of the people who are staff members are very nice. They're nice to the residents and they're nice to the visitors. I go several times a week there because some things aren't done. Like I sometimes have to make the bed and change the linens myself. Their performance could be improved. The nurses are nice and very easy to talk to, though.
The problems I've had with them lately in the past six months have been the newer residents who are in memory care with them having access to my mother's things. I've approached that with the man in charge, but sometimes I think that there are a few residents that are misplaced that shouldn't be there. What they need to improve on are supervision and communication.
