If you are ever thinking of putting your loved one in Folkstone,do not hesitate! This is the most beautiful, caring place you could ever pick! My childhood friend I grew up with for almost 80 years ended up here. I visited her many, many times over the three years she was here. She was always clean and very well cared for. The staff was wonderful! They were alway friendly and truly cared for her needs. They also cared for her family! When eating got hard for her, they were ready to accommodate her and meet her needs. When she passed, they had a beautiful good bye to her, with many tears and kind words! It is more than a home for your loved one’s. It is truly a caring family for them! Money can’t pay for true feelings!

My 87-year old mother, with dementia, needed a place to go after hip surgery for physical & occupational therapy, while being under the care of nurses and a doctor. My father, husband, brother and sister are very glad that we sent her to Folkestone Care Center; she stayed there 3 1/2 weeks. She enjoyed the devoted caregivers individually, men & women, the chef & his tasty food in the dining area, the therapists' skilled attention and how thoughtful and concerned ALL of the staff were! The week following, at home, Mom talked of missing the Folkestone community! The staff & the place had been "growing on her"! Lastly, as Mom and I are working through additional IN-HOME care now back in Wisconsin, the physical therapist has been so surprised at how strong Mom is and how she can do most all of what she asks of her. And as her daily care-giving daughter, I noticed and continue to notice how well Mom can steer her walker, manuevering it however she needs! She could NOT do that BEFORE at home! I was & am pleased. - Mrs. L. Sahlstrom
