My mother has been in the Memory Care Living at Chester for a little over two years. The home is bright and cheerful. We were encouraged to decorate her room and make it personalized for our Mom. The nurses and aides show a lot of care and love for the patients. My mother enjoys the food too. When I visit my mother, she will often say, "if I cannot be at my own home, this is a very nice place". Every Saturday a singer, [Removed], comes in to play music. The patients really come alive - singing, tapping their feet and sometimes get up to dance. They have started to increase the activities beyond coloring and doing puzzles. The patients love tapping balloons to one another and throwing soft balls onto a target. While there is never a perfect place for our mother since she left the family home, I know she is safe and well cared for.

My dad has been at Memory Care in Chester for almost 2 years now and we are very happy with the facility. We love Sherry, LeMar, Kim, and Sydney especially. It definitely feels like a family. There may not be a lot of activities that the residents can participate in, but they do their best. They have outside people come in for entertainment and although my dad can't recall a lot of things, he does remember some of them! We just could not take care of my dad at home any longer and we feel so lucky to have found Memory Care where he can live a safe, content life. The staff is especially receptive to any questions and/or suggestions we have and they are wonderful communicating directly with us.

I felt that the residents with dementia were further advanced that my mother and that she would not fit in. However, it was a very homey atmosphere and they had a great area for the residents to spend time in outside of their rooms. Also it had a great garden setting for them to spend time outdoors when the weather improved.
