Georgetown Living Alzheimer's Residences

I toured Georgetown Living Alzheimer's Residences. When you pull up to the driveway, they have these big, huge longhorns on their property. They have 15 acres of land and it's a very nice place. They took us amongst the population. I ended up sitting with one lady and an old man (a colonel), and ended up giving him a hug. So, I liked that place. The amount of money was OK, but I think it was just a little too structured for my uncle. He's going to need a little bit more leeway and a little more homey place. It seemed like a really well run family business. It's very clean. The memory care is a locked facility. They have basically a couple of different wings and then each wing is set up with caregivers and then there's a nurse. They serve home cooked meals and provide activities. The rooms were a little smaller, but they were set up better. You have a wing and then down through the center of it you have the kitchen, a living room, an activity area, and then all of the rooms are facing the center area. So, it felt like they would have a little bit more supervision over the people. However, when I called back yesterday, their staff answered the phone a little rudely, and I never got a call back so that I could ask them a couple more questions.

We've secured a place down at Georgetown Living Alzheimer's Residences. We needed a little flexible time about getting my friend lined up, moved in, and scheduled and Georgetown Living was kind enough to give us some variance there. It's excellent. The rooms are very good. The whole structure and setup are very good, and we have two friends whose spouses are out there, so we were fairly familiar with it. We were just lucky that they had a vacancy coming up that we were able to get. We chose the first level for memory care. The director gave us the tour. He's an excellent gentleman, very knowledgeable, and very helpful. We saw the food and it looked pretty good, but we didn't have time to do that. We saw some of the arts and crafts things that they did. We saw Halloween decorations and that sort of thing. It was Saturday and there was an excellent football game and some of the gentlemen were watching it. The grounds were outstanding. They had a nice garden area in the courtyards of both buildings. The surrounding area is farm-like, and they have some excellent animals, a couple of longhorn cattle, a donkey, and a sheep, and plenty for folks to look at. It's a very first-class, well-run place. The food looked fine and smelled good.

My husband is in Georgetown Living. They've been wonderful and very caring. They do as many activities with them as they can. They have an exercise program. They're very communicative and let me know what's going on. It's very clean and well-maintained. He's getting the care that he needs for the money that we pay.

Georgetown Living Alzheimer's Residences was an excellent place. Nicole showed me around and gave me a lot of good information. It was a very nice place. They had gardens, and the rooms were just kind of in a courtyard setting. Most of them seem to have that same design, which is excellent. It gives the residents an opportunity to be outside in a safe environment and be involved in the gardens (or whatever was interesting at the time). I really enjoyed my visit there. They had some groups working together, and the staff was very involved with them. It just seemed like a happy setting. The dining area was well organized, well arranged, and it also serves family style meals, which I think is really good if you have company when you eat.

My mother was 98 years old with vascular dementia when we had to move her from my brother's home. My mother stayed there for two years until she died at almost age 101. We could not have been happier with the choice we made. The rooms are laid out perfectly with respect to the common areas so that the staff can keep track of everyone as the go in and out of their rooms. The staff was extremely competent, caring, and dedicated. Every time I visited my mother, I was 100% confident she was being treated well. If you are considering this kind of place, I recommend you visit them. The top people are especially impressive in their dedication to their residents.

My wife has been a resident in Georgetown Living since June of 2017. Before placing her I visited 6 different facilities in the Georgetown area. I picked Georgetown Living because I was impressed with the staff - at all levels, and found the smaller intimate setting to be preferable to a larger more institutional environment. I made the right decision. It is not simply that it is clean, neat and well organized - that you expect. But the personal care and concern shown by the staff to each resident is amazing. Front line staff are critical to success, and this staff is remarkable. It's not just training - it is also disposition. Each staff member knows each resident; each takes care to spend whatever time it takes to assist - with eye contact, a gentle touch, and no sense of rush to do something else. And each of them knows what is going on in each resident's life. A wonderful environment for a loved one.
