I respect people's various opinions, but I disagree with the post from LB.
A family member has been in Palm Beach Memory Care for almost 1 year.
Our family has found the staff incredibly responsive to our questions, and concerns and to the safety of the residents, staff, and guests of the residents.
I have always been greeted with a smile and hello when I enter the facility. The staff has always been respectful and pleasant. The nursing staff, Sandy the speech therapist, and Ellie (along with the entire PT team) are kind and truly understand the patient population they are working with. I have noted a huge difference when therapy is given consistently. Confidence and agility in handling the walker are more prevalent.
The food is tasty, at the correct temperature, and consistently covers all food groups. Tae and his unbelievable staff serve FRESH meals to the residents: Breakfast Lunch, and Dinner. Lunch and dinner, always include a hot soup, two entrees, and dessert. My family has eaten at Palm Beach Memory Care with our loved one for a PBMC planned event (Mother's Day, Father's Day, Holidays, etc.) or a family birthday celebration.
During those events, and when I stop in during mealtime, I have SEEN and EATEN the food! My favorite is Tae's salmon!
Gina and Rafael (presently, the main activity leaders) engage the residents who want to engage in a group activity.
The activities range from painting, corn hole toss to karaoke, word games, and tai chi. ALL the residents are encouraged to participate, however, it's never predictable if a resident will be interested or not on any given day. Activities are offered throughout the day. No one is ever forced to participate.
Training is provided for all staff and aides in Dementia, Alzheimer's, and the physical and emotional elements of aging. Training is ongoing as additional staff is hired.
There is a salon available to the residents. The salon hairstylist is comfortable working with memory care patients and they come out of the salon looking GREAT!
All the staff have been helpful and have greeted my family members by name with a warm "hello", from James, the fabulous head of maintenance, to the helpful caregivers and housekeepers.
My family and I have all been VERY pleased with Palm Beach Memory Care. read more
