Chatham Place Memory Care Unit

Memory Care Unit is self-contained. Studio apartments with bathroom in the room. Small patient to staff ratio. It is also private pay. Parking for visitors is accessible. We are pleased with the daily activities and events planned for the residents.

our families experience

if I could give a zero I would. Had to ask multiple times for help with dishes/ room tidiness, laundry the facility itself is very clean and nice in the lobby and dining room. A nursing supervisor actually told any ambulance driver at one point not to bring my father back to them because it wasn't an appropriate place for him to be. Zero caring from that woman although other staff were friendly and kind. Care services - very poor. Staff had absolutely no idea how to care for someone with an indwelling catheter and

Chatham Place at Mary Wade review

My aunt is no longer in Chatham place where she needed additional care but it is still in the Mary Wade complex. I would rate everything of five other than activities I would rate a three. It seems that they were limited and slow to get started. I understand it was a new facility. Overall the quality of care, meals and staff we're very good. I have in the past and will continue to recommend Chatham Place.

Review for Chatham Place at Mary Wade

We picked this community because they assured us again that they could handle my father's needs. We were spending quite a bit of money each month, and they were not doing anything and actually the last the last day he was there he fell unattended fall, and he had to go to the hospital because he's on a blood thinner, and when he did the AMR man from the ambulance told the people at the hospital that Chatham Place refused to take him back that night that he needed to be hospitalized they couldn't handle his care. We

Outstanding Facility

My family and I highly recommend Chatham Place. It is absolutely wonderful on all levels. My mother has been a resident there for over a year and it has been a wonderful experience. The care of the residents is exceptional. The staff are all very compassionate and thorough. The residents have so many activities daily which ultimately leads to a great quality of life. The Activities Director is one in a million. Anyone looking for assisted living or memory care needs to take a tour of Chatham Place.
