My mom is currently at the assisted living of Waltonwood Main, and it was wonderful. I think they do a fantastic job, although COVID has changed things a bit. They used to offer field trips once or twice a week, and they have a beautiful facility. They only assist her with medication, clean her apartment, keep an eye on her, they do her laundry and then her meals are included. I've not had a problem with the staff. When we go visit, we eat with her. She doesn't like the food but she's had a stroke so her tastebuds changed, and they work hard to have food options available. They're all way overpriced, but they're around what everybody is charging. They have a salon, they used to have a bus that takes them on field trips, they have an activities director, they do music and singing, bingo, crafts, and exercise. Downstairs on the first level, they have a dining room, a nice courtyard where they would plant vegetables and they have apple trees. They decorate nicely and they decorate the outside nicely. And then on the main floor, there's kind of like another dining room, but there's no food service. It's like a breakfast nook to where they always have all juices and coffee and water and fruit and donuts and things out for them. They have a vending machine for pop if they would want it, they have popcorn on certain days and they try to have things come in for the holidays. Since COVID started, they just had to lock down and don't have some things anymore.

I have so many great memories of the fun the Enrichment Director provided. She gave us welcoming love right from the first day. She felt like a part of our family providing information about our loved one's interactions, as she was our eyes. The cooking days were the most fun for my loved one since there was an abundance of cakes and cookies which brought a smile. I was thankful that I was invited to go on the many weekly field trips with the residents. Each trip gave me good times with my loved one and now wonderful memories.

The executive leadership currently at thiss facility-Jeff- is NOT interested in the well being of the resident or the residents family. Please do NOT use this facility while the current leadership is in place unless your loved one does not need any care or compassion. There are some WONDERFUL staff members as well as some not so wonderful, but unfortunately when the senior Executive Director is underpar, the entire facility suffers.

My friend is at Waltonwood at Main. He is not happy there because he doesn’t feel that he is in a good place. He loves Waltonwood, but he just doesn’t see people that look like him. There are people that are walkers. Also he had an incident where he came upon this woman that has Alzheimer’s, and she slapped him in the face. In his present state, he is halfway between independent living and needed assisted living, but he doesn’t want to be around the assisted living people that are one step out of a nursing home. I’ve eaten there many times. Their food is excellent. It’s like a 5-star hotel restaurant. It is absolutely lovely. It’s decorated lovely. It’s built around a garden where they grow fruits and vegetables. They eat meals on tablecloths, and they are served at the table. They have 2 choices for lunch and dinner, and if they don’t like those choices, they will make them a sandwich or something else and bring it to them.

I can not speak any higher of this place! Even though it costs a little bit more than other places, I don't care! My grandmother is a resident here and I couldn't be happier knowing she's so well taken care of! The saff is very caring and incredibly attentive. Residents wear wrist bands and within minutes of the button being pushed the saff is here to help! The food here is TOP notch! I've eaten with my grandma a few times and never had a bad meal. Lunches are sanwhiches and are ok, but dinners are awesome! She lived in three other places before this one and will never leave! This is the best around!

Waltonwood was great as well. The main reason we didn't choose that one was because it was a little more spread out like a bigger facility with one or two floors while the one mom's in goes up four floor, but it just seemed smaller and cozier on each floor. We just felt with her mobility not being really great that it will be better for her to have a smaller environment rather than a spread out facility. It was mainly on two floors, and it was bigger. There could be a long walk to the dining room depending on where your apartment was. However, the rooms were beautiful. They were two rooms like a living room area and a bedroom, we felt that it might be a little more than my mom needed. It was very clean with very friendly staff. I would have been just as happy to have her there. However, like I said, we had to use something as a deciding factor, and it was really the mobility; the ability for her to go from one place to another in the facility quickly was really the decision making factor.
