I placed my brother at ActivCare Rolling Hills when I could no longer care for him. I looked at other places that were very nice, but several things stood out here. For one, Ken was a very active person who liked to walk and be outside. There is a huge city park right next door and ActivCare had daily walks and picnics over there. Everyone enjoyed nature and being outside, and that mitigates the feelings of being dependent or locked up. The staff worked to give him as much free reign to exercise as possible without letting him loose to wander away. Some facilities had nice amenities, but those were only available to residents who were completely cognizant. Those with dementia could rarely if ever access them. This facility, inside and outside, is completely open to all residents. Some facilities I visited seemed to 'babysit' the residents such as offering a movie for the afternoon. ActivCare has one interesting activity after another all day long with visiting outside singers and entertainment, fun parties, games, discussions and fun classes. Ken was constantly sought out to come join in if he was in his room, and he usually did. That kept him busy, entertained, social, and involved. I cannot say enough kind words about the staff. Each one was kind, caring, endlessly patient, and always responsive to residents' needs, wants, and concerns. When Ken's health failed, they shed tears of compassion with us. He really got the best care possible and I am forever grateful, particularly to management who set the tone, attitude, and standards that were exemplified in every employee in every position. When Ken passed on, they were as helpful to our family as possible and gave us all the time we needed to deal with belongings and grief. They were always communicative and kept us apprised of any concerns or changes in health. I cannot recommend or thank them enough.
