My mom is a resident of Wedgewood South. I walked in and immediately felt so warm and fuzzy about the place. I was immediately greeted at the door by somebody who wanted to show me around and help me. I just dropped in unexpectedly. I didn't have an appointment, but she showed me everything that they have to offer. I was just blown away by how wonderful the staff members were. The facilities didn't smell. They were updated and were immaculately clean. It was just cozy. Her apartment is very nice. It's not huge, it's a studio apartment, but it's mid-sized. It has a little kitchenette with minimal kitchen capability, a sink, a microwave, and a refrigerator. They've got a little living area so she can watch TV in that little bedroom area that's kind of in the little alcove, so it's more private. She's got her own bathroom, which is beautiful. At home she had not been able to shower, just a sponge bath, and here she can take a shower and she's got people to help her do that. I think she likes it there. I have not tried the food, but my mother loves it. She's just getting so much more variety than she was giving herself at home, and she loves it. The facility is very nice. They have community dining, and it's kind of nice. Their community is divided into six sections, and each section has 12 apartments to it. The dining area is set up for the 12 residents, so they get to meet each other on a more intimate level. The staff members then just take care of those 12. They have a six to one ratio for nursing care, plus the medication nurse that works there. The setup is like nothing I saw, and that's what brought me to it because it was so individualized there. The cost is a little high.

We selected Wedgewood South and my parents are doing well there. They have music, people come and play instruments, movie nights, and bingo nights. Their room is very comfortable. They have a TV room, a family room, and a little library.

My mother has moved into Wedgewood South. The facility is very pretty, clean, and updated. It has very nice rooms. The layout is very good. We like the fact that they're in quadrants, so there's a greater staff to resident ratio. There are more employees for her. They have courtyards and lovely patios. They do activities on the patios. They have a very good activities director, so my mother has things that she can do every day. She is encouraged to go to things rather than to just sit in her room. They have ladies' coffee. They have movies. They have a chapel, and every holiday there are activities. They have bingo three days a week. They have many activities.
