Difficult Process Made Easier

I'd describe my experience as very positive; 10/10. [name removed], I can't remember his last name but it starts with [name removed], was always available and answered any questions I had. He suggested several assisted living facilities in my area and supplied me with questions to ask. I've told friends about my experience with A Place for Mom. My mom ended up at Estates at Charlottesville and she's happy and I know she's safe.

The Estates at Charlottesville

I would say a five for the first seven questions. I have been very happy with Mom's placement. Of course question eight is a little difficult because Mom has no physical disabilities, but she does have Alzheimer's/dementia. This is a very good place for her and she's got a nice apartment but it is a bit expensive. However, it is with the national norm in pricing. The food is very good! Mom compliments it often and I have seen it myself. This is a biggie for folks that transition in to assisted-living. It is very i…

First impression

For starters, the facility was very clean and my first impression was very good. We had references and when we met staff and the facilities it met our expectations. Staff made my mom feel at home. Boy when you don't have my mom's phone service set up and the staff reassuring, felt at ease. So it has been very positive so far.

[name removed] new home at the Estates of Charlottesville

5 across the board. The food might go 4, but I also understand the challenge of institutional food service having worked in the industry. Our original impression came from a visit the day after we had that terrible snowstorm that turned into snow Crete. The facility director was out with the maintenance people shoveling snow that made a huge impression on me as far as what the leadership was like in the organization. Everyone is always friendly and always helpful. My mother-in-law, who's the resident can be a chall…
