We had to place my dad in Chestnut Place's memory care wing about three years ago, when after a stroke and a fall at Christmas time visiting family the ER doctors insisted that he could no longer live alone. He recovered from the stroke at an awful rehab facility, and we were able to get him into Chestnut Place as soon as we could. It was an oasis. Chestnut Place is a well kept, newer construction with a well-planned design. He was safe day and night. He had his own private room with his own accessible bathroom, big sunny windows, with nurses and aides right outside his door. The memory care residents have their meals together, and the food was very good, nutritious, and served with love. He had access to a lovely garden area, living room, and dining room for residents. He had access to Chestnut Place’s wheelchair accessible van for his doctors appointments. The staff coordinated with us and his doctor to manage his medications and supplies. Therapists worked with him to keep his body and mind working for as long as possible. When it was time, the staff alerted us and helped arrang hospice for him. The staff was amazing, professional, and caring. It was tough to see him decline, and they understood his condition. Right up to and including my dad’s dying day, right there in his home away from home, they embraced him for the character he was and shepherded him and us through the many stages. We will never forget the kindness and generosity they showed us and more importantly him. We're so grateful. Thank you and please keep up the good work for patients, their families, and your excellent staff.
