When my mom passed away two years ago, this community of friends was the saving grace for my dad. His new friends were there to support him and keep him busy. We now have to work around HIS schedule to spend time with him! Before they moved to Chapel Oaks, we worried about them being in their home alone and vulnerable. Now they have a lovely apartment - maintaining independence, knowing that socialization and a card game awaits down the hall! We are grateful to have found Chapel Oaks for my parents!

A great place for elderly residents, with good care, and decent prices as well. My dad has…read moreAlzheimers, and needs assistance with cleaning and eating. Compared to other "memory care" locations, the RPH provides great service at a cost of at least $1k/month less than any of the suburban homes do. For those who are more independent, there are lots of things offered, all at a better price than most of the competition. I've seen reviews at other places which refer to the neighborhood as being "sketchy". Well, the neighborhood is mostly black, so I guess if you're so racist, maybe you should go to one of the suburban home (where most of the staff is minority as well). I've never had any issue aside from traffic in the neighborhood, but then I'm not the type to roll up my windows and clutch my pearls just because I'm in a diverse neighborhood. The food is also pretty good, even if it's not usually very exciting. The only thing that I might quibble with is the drivel on the communal TV a lot of the time. With elderly residents, I would think that watching TCM or old reruns of Lawrence Welk would make more sense than those 'manufactured drama' shows on cable. CSI is not a good choice for people with dementia.....

I don't understand why every senior living facility does not use the Eden Alternative Philosophy of caring for elders. What a difference compassion and respect make when caring for those with dementia. Given the high level of quality care, it was an unexpected bonus that RPH actually costs less than other facilities in the area.

Yesterday I attended a business presentation at Seneca Towers. The presentation was organized by…read moreJessica and Anna who handle social activities and entertainment events at Seneca Towers. They also search for better ways for tenant care. The presentation was led by Ms. Marie Rodriguez, the president of "Happier at Home". It was an interesting event. Marie has been involved in the medical field for many years. She witnessed and experienced the personal care her mother received in her final days. This inspired her to create and form a company that could provide care for the elderly. And by this I mean, "care at home". Home is where the heart is, and by this presentation it was evident that "Happier at Home" goes out of their way to work with their clients.To provide care and help so they can stay within their own homes if having tough times.. In the presentation she went through many of her companies services, and there are many. They do a "free" in-home assessment, approx. 45 minutes. But 1 of many things stood out to me. She made it clear that they go out of their way to keep the same caregiver, medical aide, on the same job for the family, patient. She compares the patients life style, habits to one of her aides backgrounds and training. All of her aides go through a training and certification program. Complete with a background and drug test. Aides, care givers, are taught about fall prevention, senior fraud, prevention,cooking, safety and house keeping. In the home assessment Marie will discuss the basic problem of the patient in need. The health challenge,medication compliance, memory concerns, and transportation. The patients nutritional needs,being isolated, home cleaning and maintenance, medical alert buttons, special phones for the hard of hearing. They offer meal planning and preparation, transportation service, shopping for the patient, house keeping, doing laundry. They also have aides for companionship and mental stimulation. The list goes on! Throughout the presentation Marie answered several questions by tenants one on one. She handed out flyers with information about her companies services and what they offer and how she governs and guides their business. She sponsored a "welcome wagon" with beverages and snacks for tenants and continued to answer questions by tenants. I was pleased that I attended this presentation and impressed with Marie Rodriguez. I think that "Happier at Home" is a well organized business. I wouldn't hesitate to call them!

My review is regarding the nursing home care where my sister is a resident. She has extremely limited mobility. It seems the more help she needs, the worse her care gets. She is told she does not try hard enough, that she should be able to do things which she physically cannot do. There are a few good aides, but more often than not she finds their attitude inappropriate. As is the case in many of these situations, if she complains she fears retribution from the staff. It is the direct care part of this place that is lacking compassion and concern for the residents.
