  • Our tour experience

    Our family had an in person tour and we really loved Poet's Walk, but they are a memory care only facility and at the time that was not what our loved one needed. However if our loved one ever needs memory care, we know where to look.

  • Does Not Live Up to What's Advertised

    It's a 60-person facility, and I feel like your loved one is often lost in the shuffle. The staff end up confusing individuals with other residents. If your loved one is a 1 or a 2 level, they'll probably enjoy themselves in the facility. But if they need a higher care level at a 3 or a 4, you're going to be disappointed in the facility. My loved one's cleanliness/hygiene is very poor. Oftentimes her clothes are saturated with urine down to her socks, her fingernails are dirty and completely black, her hair is unwashed. It's very sad, and I'm so disappointed. We ask them to address those things all the time, and they say she has accidents all the time and is having issues. I ask what I can do to help, but they won't allow me inside. And they haven't allowed really any type of in-person visits beyond the 20-minute visits in a sequestered room, even though our family is vaccinated. I don't understand that. When it comes to cleanliness of the facility, if you look at any of the chairs that are cloth and can't be wiped off, I would say 90% of them have feces on them. You can see stains that haven't been wiped off. It's so gross. I've looked into moving her, but none of the other places in the area have availability.
