The Terrace at Fort Wayne

My mother moved in. Everything seems to be good, everybody works together, a lot of communication, so that's good. Her apartment is nice, and roomy. Everything that she needs. The staff is pleasant. They're great. They play a lot of games, a lot of interaction. They have somebody that's in charge of games and stuff like that, and a lot of socializing and staff that helps. My mom loves the food.

It was a very good facility. The tour I had in their memory care went very well. Overall it was very, very good, and very accommodating. I have nothing negative to say about them. The staff was very friendly. The decor was fine. The rooms were kind of outdated, but they were going to paint the room that my uncle would have been in, and recarpet it. I think if they had done all of that it would have been a very nice place. Their dining area looked very nice, too. It was a very warm and homey environment.

My brother moved in here. It is a very good place. They explained a lot to me when we first toured them and we got him in right away. They were very polite and very informative. The living atmosphere is very pleasant, and the rooms are pretty nice. They usually have 2 choices of the food they want to eat at every meal.

Patricia

It is much smaller than the other place I saw today. The rooms were smaller, the whole facility was smaller, but everything was nice and clean. The staff mentioned some of the activities they have. They go to dinners and stuff like that. They take their residents out of the building, so it's not like they're stuck there all the time. They showed me a one-bedroom and a two-bedroom. They were very good. I saw the staff's interactions with some of the residents and so forth. They were kind to them, and they made suggestions to them, those kind of things.

Our tour was nice. The people were very friendly and they had the same amenities as the other place we toured. It was very clean, the apartment that we saw when we were there was a 2-bedroom, and it was kinda small. They had activities like arts and crafts, board games, and a small library. They also allow pets. The staff, Patti, made sure she kept in contact with me on all the different things to get us to go visit there. She's very patient with me to get the time set up to go there.

I really love the activities offered and how they welcomed my mother. She didn't have nearly as many activities where she was before -- even pre-COVID -- but here, they have a lot of activities that she just enjoys doing to keep her active. She fit in really quickly. They have the traditional bingo and exercises, but she's very artistic, so she is into arts and crafts and painting. They also have Yahtzee, card games, discussions, sing-alongs, and movies. It just varies. The activity director organizes them very well, as far as timing goes. For the men, they have afternoon poker games, so there are just a lot of things that she has the opportunity to participate in, and then if she doesn't want to, she goes back to her room. So far, she loves all the activities. She's in the assisted living but with modified memory care because she bonded really well with a neighbor right after she moved in. They said that they'll just work with her in assisted living until she needs full-time care. That flexibility was what I liked about it too. Her room is also very nice. Even though it's a single room, it's much larger than the room in the place where she came from. One part of the room is her living room and the other part is her bedroom. It's just laid out really well with the placement of the furniture. She has a lot of her memory pieces in there and is still able to get around safely in the room. The staff is very friendly, very cooperative, and very hands on. They really seemed to try getting to know and address the residents immediately. They make an effort to be personable to the residents. Also, the dining area is terrific. I've seen what they've ordered, and I think they look great, but when you're ninety-two, your taste buds change (plus she's on a salt-free diet). She likes the food, and her only complaint was that there's too much of it. However, they're very flexible in picking out the meals. They have choices, and it's varied and healthy. They have an interior courtyard and outside patios. There are just a lot of chances to be both outside and inside. The outside is what I'm looking forward to, because I've been told they have barbecues periodically, so that's something that my mom would find fun.
