My sweet Texas mother in law is 91years old. She can remember things from years or even decades ago. But yesterday and a half hour ago are lost to her. The cold snap in Texas last winter froze the pipes in her house and made it unlivable for the time. The search was on for a safe and capable place for her to stay. My wife and her sister spent many hours researching many places that could provide care for folks with memory problems. Parameters included safety, cleanliness, diet, quality of staff and location. After many hours, the family decided on Silver Creek Place. The director is a woman after our own hearts. She is strong, capable and prepared in life and in her business. The staff is an eclectic group of dedicated and loving people. The facility is a bit dated. But it is tidy and spotless. All the food is prepared on site in the facility kitchen. My MIL loves the food and has a great appetite there. They keep the patients there busy with therapies and they are kept very clean. We were able to visit with no prior notice. This is a good sign that those who work there are proud of the care they give and have nothing to hide. When me, my wife and her sister went to visit, it was a big deal. I hugged a lot of little ladies. Felt safe as everyone there has been vaccinated and temperatures are taken on admittance. Bottom line, looking for a safe place for a loved one who is in the twilight of her life, is a serious endeavor. There are bad places out there. We feel we found a great place for our sweet "Mooty". She is safe, comfortable, well fed and reasonably happy there. She still wants to go home and she asks about her little dog all the time. But we are glad she is here. read more
