Wow, can I screw stuff up. The previous review that could be viewed here has been moved to the correct place of business. I had the names of two businesses confused (e.g. I thought that "Torned" on the hill was "Lovely" down by the river, when it was the complete opposite). I have to apologize to Skyland for my mistake. Sorry!
So, I will be blunt. My grandmother died here. It is a place that I trusted. It does not feel like a resort, but like a bustling, warm, small hospital. Everyone is very friendly. It feels like a home despite the clinical trappings.
The employees were efficient and had hearts. I felt very comfortable talking to them. My grandmother's doctor was knowledgable and had a nice manner. You could tell that he cared about people.
The rooms were clean. Some were shared. Patients can have photos on the wall and mementos on the bedside table. My grandmother needed help feeding herself, so they helped feed her. Help is always nearby.
It is a hard decision to place someone you love in the care of others outside of your home. I did not have to make that decision for my grandmother, but it still affected me. There's a saga there and past that. I have seen the bad side of people when death is imminent. Sometimes a person dying in their own home is not the best situation. I am glad that Skyland was there for my grandmother.
