I have lived in Johnson County all my life and have multiple friends who live or have lived at Greenwood Village South over the years and have so many great things to say. I have already done my research and know this is where ill be calling home when I\'m ready to downsize.

Oh, my list is very long. Starting with letting people sit in urine and feces to not bringing medication for nausea until an hour after it’s asked for. Also the fact that a nurse tells me she’s going to go look for a personal item that went missing when they switched my mom to a new room and never returned. Then a second nurse just nods her head and mumbles as she walks away and never returns as well. This facility is a complete joke and all talk. Smiling to somebody’s face and saying that things will be taken care of is one thing. Action and actually taking care of some thing is a totally opposite thing! Completely saddens me that some people are just in it for the paycheck and don’t care about anything else.

Heritage Place Assisted Living was really good, and it was just almost identical to where mom currently is. It was very clean. The lady who took us on a tour was very friendly and really helpful. At that time we were still thinking of putting her in a studio apartment. They showed us where they have the activity room, and they have games, puzzles, and cards.

My mother moved into Stratford Commons. I didn't like that I couldn't go in and tour the place, but that's because of COVID. I liked the fact that they took me on a virtual tour and the gentleman that did it was very good at his job. He pointed out a lot of positive things about Stratford, including the fact that they have no deficiencies in a certain month, just recently like November or something like that, and I thought that was something good to know. They also told me that they have special Alzheimer's training. His whole presentation impressed me. We looked at a lot of other places in the same way and I went with my gut feeling, which was "that's a great place." My mom has an Alexa device in her room, so we communicated that way, and then we had to take her for a doctor's visit last week, so we got to be with her for a little bit. She has dementia, so that has its challenges. She's doing OK. So far, I feel comfortable with it. They've called me about a couple of issues, and I've been able to call the director of nursing about a couple of issues, and we've communicated well. I'm feeling good about it. I wish I could get in there and be with her, but I can't. I understand that they're making a structure to allow residents to visit with their relatives. They're building a special room that will have some kind of a divider in it. I'm anxious for that to get finished so we can go inside. They allow window visits, but it's a little chilly for that now. They're doing construction work, so they're a little torn up, but it's gonna be great when it's done. It's expensive, but they all are expensive. They have a hair salon, but we've not used it. I've only been in the main lobby.
