Review for Walden Place

I only rated it that way because some things are a joke, especially the things they claim they do. What matters most is how the residents view the place. The food and room size is ok.

Walden Place

The staff has been excellent and the food has been very good. I have been very impressed with how well she has settled in. A lot of that is due to the way she has been treated by everyone there.

Review for Walden Place

It was a very nice facility everything the activities it was very clean even on the memory care unit where I know that a lot of the patients might have incontinence and you know mess theyself it was very clean you couldn't smell anything but a light light scent of urine but at the same time they fed her very well the only thing that I had a problem with was her personal care They told me that they would do her hair they did not they did not grease it She was there for almost 3 weeks and she had the same hairdo in h

Dad is happy

I think it's a little pricey the amount they charge to give meds I think is a little high. It really is a small facility and It feels more homey my dad seems alot more comfortable there they're always trying to find something new for them to do.

Praises for Walden Place

I would highly recommend Walden Place for dementia patients. The staff are so caring for the residents. The meals are good and healthy. They have activities for them and try to keep them busy instead of staying in their rooms
