This is a BEAUTIFUL & ECEPTIONAL FACILITY! I am a retired nurse who spent the last 12 years of my nursing career supervising an Assissted Living facility in Brookfield. I accompanied my husband who came to visit a lifelong friend who is a resident at BeeHive. I chose to remain in the central living area and stay out of the way so my husband and his friend could reminisce without distraction. As I comfortably in the room, along with a few residents, I observed that the room wasn't OVERDONE like so many facilities who are giving the FALSE impression that "all is good." Instead it was tastefully done by being clean, cozy, comfortable and safely furnished with the residents in mind, as it should be. All of the staff I encountered treated the residents with caring, kindness and respect, no matter what the residents general aging condition seemed to be. The residents appeared to feel safe, secure and familiar with the staff who were extrememly attentive to all of them. Whenever the staff came upon a resident, the resident was spoken to by name and there was always a kind word exchanged. I would like to give a shout out to an exceptional caregiver named "Martisha". I felt she was going above and beyond and felt she must be a "seasoned" employee while observing the way she dealt with the residents. She told me she had only been there 9 months and that her goal was to treat every resident as she would want to be treated if she were in that situation. What a beautiful attitude to have! She and all the employees I observed are on a fast freight to heaven! It takes a special person to have the kindness, caring compassion, patience and HARD WORK ethic it takes to care for the frail and so often helpless elderly. A facility such as this one is only as good as it's staff! I pray that they are appreciated and praised for who they are and what they do. From what I've observed, both inside and out, I would highly reccomend giving this facility careful consideration if you are looking for placement of a loved one. Thank you BeeHive!
