Laurel Manor

My mother is in Laurel Manor. I have nothing, but good things to say about the care that she was given there. Their facility is small. They have 22 rooms. They have a communal dining area with a TV. They do activities, and they have volunteers that come in. They do exercises twice a week with other volunteers that come in and do activities. In fact, I also have some friends that we try to get there once a month to do some activities. They are able to go across to the nursing home right next door, which is part of the same care center for religious services. They have mass, and they have Lutheran services over there. They'll sometimes have entertainment. The residents at Laurel Manor are invited over for that as well. It's clean. I got to know the women that are working each time I come, and they all are so helpful. I couldn't ask for anything more really. The food there was great. She got two meals a day, lunch, and dinner. They have a choice of two things for each meal, which was helpful. If you don't like this, you might like that. They were on their own for breakfast, and I would take her milk and energy bars she can snack on for breakfast. Her room is lovely. It's actually a small apartment. She has a bedroom and a bath, and she has a little living room and a kitchen. It's open enough that she can move around with her walker. We were invited to bring our own TV for her in her room, and they had cable hooked up for her. It is really nice. If she could have stayed there, I would have loved for her to stay; she just needs a little more help. They would tell me if there was a problem or if she needed something. They were a big help. She never went hungry there. They come in and clean once a week. They do her laundry once a week. Their facility is spotless and well taken care of. The value for the money is wonderful; it was reasonable.
