Fantastic Recreational Programs

The programs offered by Amberwood’s recreational department enrich the lives of its residents each and every day.

I visited this facility

Care on Willow Way is excellent. Aides and nurses are kind and compassionate, treat patients respectfully and with dignity. Recreation, Social services PT and OT are very responsive. Rooms are older, could use remodel but are always kept very clean.

Take a tour and really look around closely. My mother-in-law spent her last three months at Amberwoods long term Memory care, after a few weeks in the wound care unit. (not any better, but doesn't smell as bad). I have had past experiences with Nursing homes, so I do have comparisons. This facility has ZERO joy. There are no smiles, no laughter, no music. Nothing. It is so depressing. As far as I saw the entire time we were there, residents are not taken outdoors at all for sunlight and fresh air. The facility…
