LiveWell at Coker Hills

LiveWell at Coker Hills was very comfortable, homey, and had a nice feel to it. It was pleasant. It was clean, and it was really nice. They allow new residents to have their bedrooms painted any color they want. They can make it homey as they want, hang as many pictures they want, and can make the room their own. It offers free meals and free snacks at any time. They just go in the kitchen and somebody will get it for them. It's supposed to be just like a family. They will take them anywhere they want to go. They have a doctor that comes in monthly, making home visits or something. If somebody wants to go somewhere, like if they are attending a religious service or involved in a senior group at a YMCA or something, they would take them there. They all eat together at a table in a dining room. They have their meals there. It's a nice living space. It's like being in a real home. The only reason we're not jumping forward is that the only bedroom left in the memory care was very, very small. All the other bedrooms are a little bit larger. We would really like to have my mother in that home. All the other bedrooms were a nice size. People can bring their pets there if they have a pet. If a husband has dementia and the wife doesn't and they don't want to be separated, there was a bedroom that was for couples. Somebody could stay with their spouse in that home. It's a very, very great set up. My mother can be on a waiting list for a larger room, but I don't know when that would be. That's the only downside.

When we decided to move Mom out of my sister's home, it was important that Mom stay in the Chapel Hill area in as much of a home like setting as possible. After much search we were introduced to Livewell and from the first day we visited the home we all new that was the place for Mom. The staff show Mom love, patience and empathy and provide a level of care that neither my sister or I are capable of providing. Mom's room has a great view of the surrounding community which allows her to observe nature and know she is living in a home.

My mother-in-law and father-in-law moved into the new Livewell facility in the Coker Hills neighborhood four months ago. Their memory-care needs were different from each other but the staff and owner of the business were willing to think outside of the box and revise plans as each of my in-laws' needs shifted. The staff in the house are kind and thoughtful. They get to know the residents and their family members well. The house itself is on a lovely, wooded lot. My husband and feel fortunate that this house opened up when it did so our parents have been able to be in a more personalized home setting rather than a larger facility.
