Arcadia of Crofton I

Maria

I went to Arcadia of Crofton. I was impressed. There seemed to be a good ratio of people assisting. I got there around the time that they were cooking and the food smelled good. The residents look fine. I visited and I was happy. They have two houses. The grounds look peaceful. It's convenient for me. This is the facility that I may consider if my husband has to go into an assisted living facility. The rooms were fine. They have rooms with a private bathroom and they have rooms where you share a bathroom.

My mother moved into Arcadia of Crofton I. It's very small. I don't think they have 20 patients there. She's doing quite well. She's walking around by herself now, leaning on her wheelchair, with a walker, which she was not doing before she got there. She's in a single room. I noticed that getting into the facility, they don't have ramps. And the walkway is not level, you've got to pull wheelchairs up over a little lump. But inside, everything is all wheelchair accessible. The doorways are all large enough, it's just that it was a private residence that was converted. They do not have a large concrete area outside with walkways where you could take someone in a wheelchair or wheel them around very easily. You'd have to go out into the yard and the dirt, and wheel them around on that. So it would just be a little difficult for someone to wheel them around outside if they wanted to go outside. The food looked alright, they cooked everything on site. They made turkey dinners for Thanksgiving, but I have not tasted the food. They were playing cards or board games when I was there. They've got a TV room. There's a piano so people can play the piano if anybody knows how to play the piano. It seems to be homier, and less hospital-like, it just feels more comfortable than where she was before.
