ADL Assisted Living

My father-in-law is at ADL Assisted Living, Highlands, and it's been a relief for my husband and my sister-in-law to have him there. Their care is very good. It's nice because it's a medium-sized facility. There are not too many residents. Sometimes, some rooms have two residents, so there are 16 to 20 residents total, which I think is a good and unique number. It wasn't necessarily something we were looking for, but we looked at some private homes, and they were just too small. Yet those big sprawling, resort places were out of his price range. So, this was the largest facility that he could afford, and the reputation of the care was good. There's not a lot of turnover, from what I can tell, and it's not the fanciest-looking place, but it's clean. My father-in-law has his own room, and they prepare his meals. One critique I have is that there is an outdoor space, but they don't take them out. They don't let them outside. I guess because he would not be able to go on a company, being one of the higher functioning residents. So, he's sort of independent, and the staff is busy with patients with more needs. So, he's not able to get a lot of sunshine, and that is very unfortunate, but I realize they're just busy preventing bed sores and keeping people clean, and he talks to the staff as best as he can. He has a community bathroom. Then there's a little sort of main dining area, and another little sitting area where he could sit and eat, but he did not have his own bathroom or kitchen. His place is like a bedroom with a closet and furniture. The staff is friendly. The building has a sound structure, but visually, it's not beautiful.

There is no nurse on staff at the Highlands location. There is a sitter or a med aide ... I noticed that until my mother was able as long as my mother was able to speak her care was pretty good I did go almost every day but when my mother lost the ability to speak I noticed her care started going down and ultimately she developed a bedsore which was untreated for a while got infected and that's how she died.

Virginia and her team take great care of our patients and their families…

I would tell a friend, that I am so happy my Mom is there and the people that run the facility are great and show her wonderful care and attention.

ADL Assisted Living in Highlands really came to my Mom's and my rescue! As Mom's condition had become beyond my capabilities of caring for her at home on my own. Thank goodness I was directed to ADL!!! They took such great care of her and more importantly they all REALLY CARED for Mom and me! Mom had been at other places that did their job, this is what sets ADL above the rest, the do their job very well, but they also genuinely care about the patients. They kindly tend to the needs but they hug them, make sure they know they are cared about when the family is busy, it is amazing!! I can never thank this loving place enough! All the staff have a difficult job to do, they do with flying colors! Love them all!
