Orchard

I have a sister at The Orchard. They're very clean and nice. The staff is very friendly and warm and they're very good to her. I haven't had a meal there in a long time. They used to be good. I assume they still are. She has a living room and bedroom, kind of open space. It's got a little kitchenette with a microwave and a refrigerator. She has a sitting room and a little patio out back. She has a bath. I see some of their activities online because I keep up with them, and they do quite a bit. They play bingo and cards, and they have entertainment, and local people come in. They seem to keep them active and busy. They usually celebrate all the different holidays. It's a nice place if you have to have that type of assistance. It certainly would be comfortable and pleasant.

The orchard facility is very clean. Any meals we have eaten there were pretty good. The staff is prompt and dispenses mom's medicine as prescribed and on schedule. Every time we have visited mom we have had at least one staff member pop in and check on her. The price is within reason for the area. Mom has improved a great deal since we opted to move here there. Mom was very unhappy about having to move to an assisted living facility and it was a very difficult time for the entire family. It seems she is settling in now and getting used to the environment. Her health has greatly improved since we moved her to the Orchard and we are grateful for that. On more than one occasion she has referred to her apartment there as "my little house". I believe she is getting happier to be there as time goes on and we are grateful for the care and attention she is receiving.
