My grandfather was in Aldersgate; they went all the way to help my him, and I appreciated that. The staff was nice and caring. They had different events and activities like bingo, they had a little garden and he liked it, they can go there and do some gardening, and they had church service. The rooms were nice, he had a hospital bed, the food was really good, and it never had a foul smell.

We moved my Mom to Cuthbertson Village at Aldersgate and the care that they give there is wonderful. The staff is very good and knowledgeable; they really take good care of my mom. The food is very good. They feed her according to a diet, which is specific to her. She has a very big bedroom with a very big bathroom. If you go down the hall, there is a big living room, kitchen and a nice big dining room. If you keep going down the hall, they have a town square and different rooms on the town square. One is a soda jerk, there a movie theater, a five and dime, a garden shop, and a pet shop. There is a stage around the corner where they have music including groups who come sing or play instruments. There is a big swimming pool and a great big garden where they can walk or sit; it is enclosed by a 7-foot tall fence so they cannot wander.

The staff at this place is wonderful and friendly. I feel that my grandfather is well taken care of. Whenever I visit Aldersgate I have a positive experience and the food is pretty good. He feels like he has a sense of independence living there and that benefits him. He used to have a car there until his vision when bad. He also lets me drive the golf cart around. The staff can make even the worst day become better. It's very nice to see that kind of experience.
