Olympus Ranch

They've done really with well my mother-in-law. The food is good. The residents all really like Bingo, and they have it about three times a week. That's the one thing she'll go out of her room to do. It's a fun group of people. A lot of the people don't go to activities, which was surprising to me. They do have them, but people just don't go. As far as personality goes, I'm pretty outgoing and have met and talked to a whole lot of people. My mother-in-law is less outgoing, which has been hard for her. Culturally it has been difficult as well. She's the only Samoan. But there are a couple of Samoan workers who have been very kind to her. The director of marketing and sales is fabulous. Some of the other staff are just quite young, like the people who serve the food. But moving her in was good. The thing I liked about it the most was it didn't stink. It just smells like a normal place, which I appreciate. The halls are really wide, and it feels very open. A lot of the other places we went into almost seemed claustrophobic, with tiny rooms. The room size at Olympus Ranch was the best value we found, just over 500 square feet, vs. 300-something at other places. They also have beautiful artwork throughout the whole facility. It's so cool and makes it just feel GOOD.

We like this facility but we wanted the city feel for our loved one. On that level we were not impressed. This was just not what we were looking for.

I was not impressed with my virtual tour with Olympus Ranch.
