Ten months ago, my mother had a severe and unexpected stroke. After a hemi-craniectomy, three weeks…read morein the hospital, six months of skilled nursing and rehab, and about two dozen CT scans, it was clear Mom would not be able to return home safely. After quite a bit of research, what I learned is that there are only a few assisted living communities that can care for someone who is paralyzed on one side of her body, and requires two caregivers to assist with transferring her from bed to chair and back again, and to bathe and clean her. And even fewer that can do all of this while keeping my Mom busy with a full regimen of PT, OT, and speech therapy, along with other stimulating activities. While Aegis on Madison has suffered the same staffing shortages and other challenges brought on by the pandemic, this community has a culture of transparency and continuous quality improvement. The leadership team welcomes family members and friends to visit (for the day or overnight), engage in community activities, enjoy the view from the beautiful Sky Lounge/deck, and--most importantly--provide feedback to help improve its services. I commend Bryan, Elizabeth, Curtis, Craig, Mayor Judy, Brylle and the remarkable team of caregivers (Joyce, Ryan, Jessica, William, Arthur, Dorcas, Mimi and so many others) for making Aegis on Madison such a place my Mom and Step-Dad can feel at home.

Activities seem good though my mother-in-law doesn't participate as much as we hoped. The food, however, is really pretty bad. It's kosher so there are limitations but still they could do better. My mother in law does not really need kosher. It would be great if they could have two separate kitchens. If not, they just need to try harder and maybe hire a new chef.

What stands out are the caring staff and all the cultural activities they have daily.

They also have many outings to cultural events, shopping, etc. and a shuttle to take you to the doctor/dentist and food shopping.The food could be better, but they serve kosher meals which adds some constraints. All in all, I highly recommend it!

I just had the same surgery done on my right shoulder and am looking forward to going back to Maren for my PT. She is not in my neighborhood and there's sometimes quite a lot of traffic, which I really don't like...and there are good (from what I hear) PTs walking distance from me...but I'm willing to brave the traffic for someone I know will do a great job!

That being said, I was not impressed with their decision to tell my mother to leave once it became clear that she was going to be difficult (and expensive) to care for. HH advertises itself as providing the whole range of life care from supported living to nursing and dementia care. I think for anyone in independent living, it is a wonderful and vibrant community. But once you need more support, you will either need to be wealthy enough to hire outside caregivers, or move to a different facility. An update: After HH decided they wanted to kick my mother out, they reported her to the state's Adult Protective Services for "self-neglect" and me for "neglect." They said that they asked her to move to another facility and we "didn't follow through." Note that: my mother chose to pay a substantial nonrefundable sum to live at HH because she understood that as a continuing care facility they would take care of her until the end of her life; we asked about temporary or permanent supported living arrangements at HH and were rebuffed because they didn't want to deal with the liability and expense of managing her; and as a result we were, in fact, in the process of finding another placement for her outside of HH at our own expense.

My husband and I were in a bike accident when our tandem bike's front tire had a blowout and we hit…read morethe street hard. He escaped with minor injuries but unfortunately not me, I had to have pins inserted to hold my pelvis together, plus a total hip replacement. I also had a broken collarbone and 5 broken ribs. After 11 days at Harborview Medical Center we found Skyline thanks to recommendations from condo neighbors. We were amazed at the quality of care I received. I was at Skyline another 32 days. For the first ten days there I couldn't even get out of bed. But the Physical Therapists and Occupational Therapists were outstanding in working with me, bit by bit, to start moving. It was complicated by my broken collarbone, so I could not use a walker. Holding a coffee cup was the maximum effort I could use my arm for. I also could only put 50% of my weight on my injured leg. That didn't stop them from finding ways to help me learn to get out of bed, then stand, then walk with a cane in a way that still protected my arm and leg. 3 weeks after the accident I still hadn't gotten out of bed. After 4 weeks I started to walk with the cane and the skills they provided. 5 weeks after the accident the doctor cleared me to use both arms and legs with no limitations, and the PTs and OTs quickly got me walking 50 feet one day, then 100 the next, and so on. 6 weeks from the accident and I was ready to go home, and able to walk so well that within just a few more days I could walk without the walker, using the skills I had learned. In addition to an absolutely fantastic rehab team that worked with me six days a week (on many days for two hour-long sessions), they provided me with caring nursing staff and a staff doctor who spent one hour with me on our first meeting -- who gets that anymore? -- and unhurried visits several times after that. Skyline also provided a private room, a very clean and pleasant environment, and meals that were far, far above the usual institutional standard. With fairly limited things to look forward to each day, it was comforting to know that there were meals coming that I was actually excited to have served to me. As I slowly got stronger I was able to walk on the wide carpeted hallways and then outdoors on the several terraces that overlook the city. The fourth floor one was particularly nice as it has an extensive flower garden. In my month-long stay I never encountered anything but competence and a caring attitude. I don't recommend having an accident like mine, but if you do you will find Skyline a terrific place to recover your health and confidence in yourself. It will long have a special place in my heart.

He accompanied us on tours, made sure we asked the right questions, and had a good sense of which facility would be good for my mom, based both on their reputation and her likes big and small. (High quality chocolate ice cream was on the MUST list.) I called Dennis up again when her disease progressed and it was time to look for an adult family home. He remembered my mom and literally the first AFH he showed us was the one (though we did look at several together). Thanks to Dennis, she's continuing to receive great care, nearby, and with caregivers she loves. When it's time to consider moving your loved out of their home, I highly recommend calling Magnolia Senior Care Connections.
