They always have a smile, answer questions cheerfully (everything from patient care questions to where to eat or order out). They have WiFi in the library, which reaches about half the rooms, and will go to great lengths to be accomodating. The recreation staff does a great job with socialization opportunities. I don't deal with any of the business side of things, so I can't speak to that, and I have to say that much of the time parking really stinks, but the level of care can't be beat.

My mother-in-law has lived in a few other Assisted Livings and none compare to what Salem Woods offers or the care they provide. She has lived there for over a year and we couldn't be more pleased. She is treated with respect and is given the opportunity to participate in a wide range of activities each day. Her meals are delicious, she's actually gained weight (which is a good thing!) while living there. My family and I highly recommend Salem Woods!

All in all, my brother was not treated with dignity during his short stay. I would not send a loved one there.
