My brother has been in memory care there for about 1 year. He appears to be doing well and when I visited him, the staff appeared to be responsive and very caring. First thing he did say was the food was pretty good. I am hoping things continue to be good there for him. He also said he has a "go to person" he trusts to share his issues with as they arise.

My mom has been on memory care side for about a year now and you would think with memory care patients they would remind them to dress to eat to change their Pull-Ups and even communicate to other Staffing members especially when they're sick but they don't we're getting ready to take her out

My mom was at Mitchell House for a little under a year, on the dementia side. She passed away on April 7th, 2020. They let us in to see her for as long as they could after covid started. Wonderful caring staff and residents. Shoutouts to the CNA’s, Hospice, and Housekeeping staff.

My Mother was here for 5 years in the dementia unit. She was ok as long as she could walk and feed herself but her condition worsened from day one. When she got to where she couldn't walk or feed herself she wasted away and developed bedsores, where they wouldnt turn her, one was 4" x 6". They said they could take care of their residents until the end but if your loved one cant walk or feed themselves i would look for a nursing home for them.

I love this place, I have nothing to complain about. I love the staff and other residents. Everyone is good to me and the food is wonderful. This is my home, I would not want to be anywhere else. Resident of Mitchell House Lynn Hall
