Non Dementia - Fully Functional Only

Their sales people are not educated in health care. They will accept anyone with Dementia. In the case of our Father, we were transparent about his Dementia and unsure what the proper place was for him. They assured us that they were familiar and had the proper structure in place to give him adequate care and were building out a memory care unit. He never received the services they offered, which were PT, OT, Speech and Psych. He only received PT sporadically. They mismanaged his Meds for months. They missed hygien

Review for Esplanade at Palisades

Make sure that a thorough needs evaluation plan is done before deciding to go. I know it's been ramped up to an AL status since last year but it's still critical that the condition, of the resident is appropriately matched before entry. You also need to know what your parent can realistically handle and weigh that carefully in the decision. Lastly, ask detailed questions about the longevity and responsibilities of the staff /directors so that whatever is promised in the interview process will be maintained and adju

Esplanade at Palisades review

The building was very clean, well decorated and had a positive aura. The staff was very receptive and sensitive in gene. Bowing, my mother could have used more personal social support in the evenings. After meals there wasn't enough for her to do and she felt isolated. Also, her room wasn't attended to properly but in general she needed more physical and emotional support than they were designed to handle.

Welcoming staff!

The staff members there are wonderful, and they have started to open back up the activities which our loved one is extremely happy about. They have excellent mental health professionals which was very important to us. It is also a smaller community so they know our family very well and our loved one. They have been doing the best during this past year, and it is in a very convenient location for our family.
