My dad was a resident of Preston Place II. Until four months ago, he had been at Preston Place two for three and a half years. He was in a memory care unit. The reason I had to move him to another community was that he fell and broke his hip and is no longer mobile. At Preston Place II, you have to be mobile. In the three and a half years that he was there, there was no turnover in the staff that immediately took care of him. I got phone calls or emails at least three times a week on how he was doing. It's small; there are only 37 residents. They get them out of the rooms each day and tried to do an exercise class in the morning. They did painting and played bingo. They had a movie afternoon. They kept them busy as much as they could in the state they were in. But like I say, communication was a big thing. I did hear everything that was going on. They would take pictures and send them to me. He thrived on the food there. He gained weight. All they have are memory care residents and they keep them busy. The staff was very caring. Some of them were very upset when Daddy had to leave. He was very well-loved there. They knew their residents and they had personal relationships with them in that it was the same people caring for him all the time, not just somebody. The staff had certain people they took care of. I think if he stubbed his toe, they'd called me. They let me know when he needed some more clothes, or when things had worn out or his shoes. It was constant communication. The facility is spotless, too. The administrator cried when I had to take Daddy. She said it's her baby. She developed the program and has been there for 18 years.

Preston Place II is very homelike. When you walk in the door, it doesn't look like a hospital or a facility in any form or fashion. It looks very homey. Everybody is extremely nice and very helpful. The staff is very friendly, very nice, and very attentive to their patients. They have hardwood floors, and you can bring your own furniture, so you can make it your own home. They have puzzles and gardening. They have a common area, a sunroom, and they have big-screen TVs throughout the facility where they can sit down and watch TV if they like. It is just a very nice place.
