My father-in-law was in Westminster Village Muncie a year ago. It's a senior living place. They have rehab, independent living, and assisted living. They're very good there, but it's very expensive. They had a very topnotch physical therapy room, very, very big with lots of workers and they were very good with the people. The aide staff was very, very good. It looked like their food was really good. He just didn't want to eat. Everything there was very good. He just had a rehab room, so it was more like a hospital room. They've got lots of beautiful grounds around it and walking paths. It's a great location just on the north side of town. It's in an area where there are people that have more money. In the rehab, they had movie times, bingo, crafts, and church services. It was very good. The head nurse was just awesome, but she's been promoted, so I don't know where she is now. She was topnotch, making sure all the residents were taken care of well, very energetic and positive, and she would go around and just offer to clip their nails for them, that wasn't even her job, but she would do it. The rehab was very, very good.

My mother had an aneurysm and has very little short term memory, so she needs to be in an assisted living facility. They staff at Westminster are wonderful, they check on her daily and make sure she is taking her medication, something she would forget to do if not for them. She seems to really enjoy the area as well, they have fitness areas and planned activities. That is wonderful for her, because she needs structure. She also craves independence, and it's wonderful that she can pick and choose what she wants to do. The only downside to an assisted living facility is the cost. My mother has a studio apartment that her monthly allotment barely covers. It would be nice to see an affordable assisted living place around here, but i do understand that there is a premium involved with having nursing and other staff around all the time.
