It was great, until it wasn't

We moved my parent into memory care. It seemed good at first, but it quickly became apparent that the staff was not equipped to care for dementia residents who can walk.

An Enjoyable Experience For Mom

My mom is really liking her new home. She likes to play bingo and even won a game recently and called to tell me. The community is a very nice and clean place and it is close to my home. Overall, we are happy with our choice for my mom.
