Standish Assisted Living

My mom is currently at Standish Assisted Living, and it is a fabulous place. They have very personal care. It is a home owned by a woman, and she only takes some people at a time. She has staff that includes doctors and nurses. It's actually wonderful. I'm very, very happy with it. They helped my mother out to the bathroom and with everything. The staff will just do anything that you need. They even cook the meals for them right there, and it smells wonderful. It's home cooked food like potatoes and chicken casseroles, and they all eat together. The home is very clean, and the layout is really nice. It has a little kitchen with a table, where they can sit down and eat. There are televisions everywhere. There is a recliner. Somebody can sit in it for the day or a few hours if they want to, and just be there where everyone is. They have single bedrooms, six bathrooms, a great big patio or deck outside that they can sit out when the weather is nice, and there is a table and umbrellas there to sit under too. They do not just sit around and stare at the television the whole day. They like to engage the residents with each other. They also take them out sometimes for a little drive. She will load a couple of people in the car and go for a little drive to Dairy Queen or something like that if somebody wants to go there. They have a pretty average price. It is not exorbitant, and it doesn't go up. They have one price that covers everything. The doctors take any insurance that you have, and there is no monthly fees for PPE's and stuff. It is beautiful, friendly, open, airy, and you just feel like you are part of the place.
