Nursing Homes Community in Swansea, Illinois

F.M.

My mother moved into Bradford Place. There were some bumps on the road, but everything is apparently well. They do a little bit of extra care for her that a lot of places don't offer, so at this point we're pretty happy with everything. The staff is very good and very friendly, she has a one-bedroom apartment, but they have a couple of different room options. They have a person who comes in and does crafts, they play bingo, and other activities to give the residents something to do in the afternoon. They have somebody that comes and helps her with balance. They were aware of it, but I wasn't.

We went to Bradford Place and we got to see a room that wasn't even cleaned up. It was an odd looking and odd-sized room. We didn't get to try their food. We just talked to the facilitator and that was it. The cost at that facility was higher than the cost at the other place and it wasn't good. The one amenity I saw was their step-down unit for Alzheimer's care. For example, if you have a senior couple and one of them has Alzheimer's and the other one doesn't, all they have to do is walk through a door to the Alzheimer's unit to see their partner. They wouldn't have to transfer to a different building to see that person and that, I felt, was the coolest thing. You could still be given care at your level, but not be too far away. You wouldn't have to go outside, you would just be right there for that person. Nobody was really out of their rooms too much there, but their dining room looked fine.
