The Terrace at Fort Wayne

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.

It was a very nice facility. They had great staff, and it was very clean. They have all the amenities as well as a protected garden area that was all alarmed so when somebody goes out, they would know. It was a Sunday so there wasn't anything going on, but I did meet the activities director, and she was wonderful.

Our experience has been very good. The staff is excellent. My relative's room is okay. They have the average activities, and the food that I sampled was very good.

My dad moved here. It's very good and he likes it there a lot. The people are very friendly and he has a lot of help. They play bingo every day, mind exercises, movies, outings every week, there's a coloring club, walking club, and daily exercise class. The place is very nice, modern, clean, and in perfect shape. The dining area is just very nice, open, big, and clean. They serve three meals and the food is as good as you could expect. They always have a nice little area out front with beverages and snacks for the residents, and there are TVs, puzzles laid out, and a nice garden area with beautiful flowers. It has all we could ask for.

I found all of the staff from the front to the back to be very caring and attentive to the patients and the families. They worked with me in a very difficult and timely manner. From what I could tell from my twice weekly or more visits the other patients were also well cared for and as happy as they could be. My husband was in Memory Care.
