I have a loved one (LO) who moved into the memory care unit in Chestnut Grove (CG) in February, 2026. I visit CG several times per week and I have a good feel. I 100% recommend the memory care unit at CG, I don't have experience in the other areas of CG. My LO mentally and physically has improved greatly during her stay here. I attribute the improvements to the quality of care, medications on time, good nutrition, activities and socialization. Medicine: CG does an excellent job of managing medications. New medicines are in place for my LO very quickly and administered correctly. Staff: I am very impressed by the people who work in memory care. They are caring, professional and there to help. Food: I would say very, very good based on my LO's feedback and what I have seen. I am impressed and very happy about this. Activities: What I understand is the activities are geared towards individuals with memory issues. My LO has often commented on favorite activities (interactive questions, videos with positive messages, arts and crafts). The activities coordinator does an excellent job of engaging the residents plus planning themed parties (sock hop for Valentine's, St. Patrick's day, Mardi Gras). Great photos too! She also takes the residents on a van outing each week which is a favorite of my LO's. Therapy: There is a PT and OT therapists onsite. My LO has benefited from both and likes each therapist very much. Management / Administration: The Director of CG has been there for 11 years and I can tell is well respected by the staff. I do not hesitate to discuss anything related to my LO's care. In addition, he is very experienced and a very good resource for how to navigate things with my LO. In addition, the admission person was amazing during a time when my family was faced with having to find a place for my LO suddenly. She went above and beyond with being available for questions, coordinating with the Director for a screening and moving things along during a time crunch. I am very grateful! In summary, nothing is ever perfect (maybe if your LO could remain independent) but with everything that CG offers plus my family's involvement, my LO is in an excellent situation. Thank you Chestnut Grove!
