Silver Bluff Village - Arrowhead Cove

My father-in-law is currently residing at Silver Bluff Village - Arrowhead Cove and is very pleased with the care he is receiving. There are four separate facilities in Silver Bluff. He is in an area called Arrowhead Cove and that is the assisted living that's like the first tier. As residents need more personal care, they are generally moved into the actual Silver Bluff. Silver Bluff is more of a nursing home facility. They also have a rehab center for temporary care when older people have accidents and such and they need just a temporary rehabilitation center. Early on, we're having some dietary concerns only because he is not only gluten-free, but he has celiac disease. So it's not a dietary preference, but it's a gluten allergy and he can become very sick with it. So, educating the dietitians and the dining service, there's a little bit of a learning curve initially, but they were very approachable. It was just a matter of educating in the beginning. They have made those changes and they've all been very pleasant from the nursing assistants to the actual head of nursing. The facility itself is cozy. There is a central seating area where they all seem to congregate either in the morning or in the evening. They have their three meals and they have games that are played. They'll have a monthly calendar where they'll have certain activities and people will come in and perform things like cornhole, bingo, trivia, and different things of that nature. He's not always so involved in those types of things, but he has developed more of a social hour. He's gotten to make friends there. He is very involved with the other residents. They have outdoor seating areas when it's warmer. They have activities and different chair exercises. In nicer weather, they go outside and walk. We've not had any issues with the care that we've received. He's done a great job and he's got a few favorite nurses that come in. We have no complaints at all. The staff members are all very sweet girls. He loves the breakfast. The breakfasts are great. Different residents live in different hallways in their private rooms, so he doesn't have a roommate. It's kind of like a little studio apartment. I've not been there during the day when he's had the activities, but he has had fun in the ones that he has participated in.
