My husband has been a resident of The Arbors at Shelburne for a little over 9 months. From day one every member of the staff from administrators to nurses to direct care givers, to kitchen staff and maintenance staff knew his name and talked with him. I am constantly amazed at how any staff member will stop whatever they are doing to help a resident in need. The facility has wonderful activities from 9:00 am to 5 pm everyday including weekends. Residents are encouraged to attend but they may come and go as they please. Activities are designed to exercise the residents minds and physical capabilities. When the weather is good, activities frequently take place outside in the courtyard. There are frequent concerts by local artists and some residents who have limitied conversation abilities are able to sing along. Twice a week there are outings in the facility’s bus and while everyone cannot go everytime, everyone is given an opportunity sometimes. I have had experience with other memory care centers for other family members and no where did I see both the number of activities and the number of residents out and about during the day.<br>I am beyond happy with my experience at The Arbors. My husband’s symptoms have changed since he moved in. The staff has gone above and beyond to address the changes and find solutions to make him more comfortable. My son knows that if I ever need memory care, The Arbors is where I want to go!
