Terrible

If your loved one is in any way non-complacent this is NOT a good place for memory care. They are only capable of handling docile patients. They have only four aides for an entire floor of more than thirty people. They gather them into a central area and then do some activities. The activities director they HAD was great but he left. There is a huge turn around here if care givers and other staff. If your LO needs any additional care they expect you to hire an aide, on your dime. They will call you consistently for help (almost daily), or send the patient to a hospital. My loved one had dementia related behaviors and the couldn’t handle it at all. In the six months my LO was there she was sent out more than TEN times. It was awful. Please beware, they are very nice to speak to but they don’t know what they are doing in regards to memory care.

Caring and Helpful

We spoke extensively with the staff at Van Dyk Park Place about moving our mother into the community. The sale person we worked with went above and beyond, helping us feel cared for along the way. We toured several communities and the personal touch and genuine feeling from the staff was unmatched anywhere else. This is a family owned business and the attention to detail and care seems highly evident. Our mom ended up needing to move to a facility closer to other family member's but we would've been very happy to have her live here.

Van Dyk Park Place was my other choice, but in hindsight I think the facility would have been too large for my loved one.

Thank You Park Place!

My wife and I can't say enough good things about Van Dyke Park Place. As my wife 's Dad's dementia condition suddenly became unmanageable for him to live independently, we needed to find a place to provide the full-time care he needed. Most important to us was finding a place where he would feel at home and just as critical knowing he would be well cared for. Park Place provided that and more. My wife is now very comfortable knowing her Dad is safe and well cared for. I'd like to offer special thanks to the Marketing Director, who worked hard to convince us Park Place was the answer a.nd to all the wonderful staff in the Memory Care Reflections Unit who care for our Dad ever day!

WONDERFUL FAMILY FRIENDLY AND SAFE PLACE FOR MY LOVED ONE

Very caring and kind staff. Terrific food. Multiple activities and the head of activities is terrific. I am never worried about my Mom. I know she is safe. When I make a suggestion I am listened to and Van Dyk responds accordingly. I feel like they handled Covid so well.

Caring staff members & lovely facility

My [age removed] Dad has been at Van Dyk Park Place since [date removed] after falling at home. He is in a large studio with kitchenette. I have found the staff to be extremely competent and also friendly. My Dad has had the same aides since his arrival date and he loves them! And he has never complained about the food either! The activities and special events are nonstop and families are encouraged to join in the special events such as the Christmas show. He is very happy here and calls it his home now. When it comes to the next "home" for your loved one please consider Van Dyk's. The level of staffing to residents is the best in the area and that is key for assisted living. We just celebrated Dad's [number removed] birthday in their private dining room. So many staff & residents popped in to wish him a Happy Birthday! It's not easy moving a loved one to assisted living, however, knowing how well Van Dyk's is run makes it that much easier as we see (and hear! how well taken care of Dad is.

Extraordinary Care Facility!!!

Considering all of our options and knowing it is the right time for our loved one with Alzheimer's to make a move has been the most heart-breaking experience of our lives. My daughters and I looked extensively when safety became our concern at home. He was always our ROCK as a husband of over 50 years and the best father ever. Over the past 11 years we had become his ROCKS. Our hope this fall was to start a daycare program but some behavioral concerns precluded that plan. Van Dyk Park Place stood out with the way they handled his transitioning...everyone is TRULY CARING & GENUINE! They treat all of us like family--he is new & still adjusting--so our concerns are many--yet all of them have been met graciously & with open communication. When they say they will call, they do! It means the world to us! The staff has such a positive attitude which tells us they love what they do...not easy work but they really do it well!!!

Great place for mom!

My mom moved into Van Dyk Park Place about a year and a half ago . At 99 years old , she was reluctant to move from her apartment . It took her less than a day to fall in love with Van Dyk . The facility is beautiful and feels so much like home ! My mom goes to every activity, including scenic bus rides and lunch outings! Van Dyk graciously helped us to celebrate her 100th birthday in the height of Covid last January! Van Dyk is a special place and the entire staff is dedicated , loving and caring ! I would highly recommend Van Dyk Park Place !

I wouldn't want my mom to be anywhere else

We move my mother into the assisted living in 2019 and she then moved to the memory care floor in 2020. I have been nothing but impressed with the communication and support my family has received from day one. This is obviously a difficult decision to make and thing to do. The staff at VD was there with calming answers smiles and recommendations that really put my mother's best interests first.. My sisters and I have repeatedly said we have the utmost faith in the staff and know we don't have to worry that she is getting the best possible care.

Friendly help in need

I live abroad and when it became clear that my older sister could no longer live alone, I despaired of finding a good place for her long distance. I found the people at Van Dyk's very helpful and. understanding of our particular situation. The staff in Memory Care have been friendly and attentive and my sister feels very much at home. It's a great relief to know she is well cared for.

Van Dyks Park Place has delivered

I am very happy with the care that my sister has received at this facility. The nurses, aides and medical staff have been very accommodating to my requests and my sister's needs.. At first it was challenging because it was very difficult for my sister to adjust to a completely different way of life as she had to give up her home.. Now that she has been there a while, she is trying hard to acclimate herself to her new community. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone who wants their loved ones to be safe and cared for. I feel comforted to know that the staff are always willing to assist my sister at all times.

More like a 5 star hotel than an Assisted Living Facility

When we were looking for a place for my husband's aunt, we started where we live. We wanted a place that was clean with a caring staff of course but being nearby was also important. We signed her up for the Memory Care Center, she didn't want to go at first but just like a child starting school, she adjusted in no time. The staff are amazing human beings. This isn't a job just anyone can do. Soon Covid hit and she progressed much sooner than we hoped. She soon needed 24 hour care and I would not even consider anywhere else! She has been there over a year now and we feel so comfortable with her care. We can see her all the time. She is always clean and comfortable. Their schedule is fuller than mine. Games, exercise and all sorts of activities. I told my own children that when the time comes for me and my husband that Van Dyk's is the only place they should consider.

Wonderful Care in a Family Atmosphere Facility

The staff were wonderful. My loved one received such wonderful care from everyone there. When we were there to visit, they were always stopping by to say hi to her or to check on her. They really encouraged her to participate in the activities. We were very comfortable knowing she was very well taken care of there.

A good place for loved ones

We have never had the meals ourselves but when we speak to our loved one, she says she is really enjoying it all. We do wish they had more activities in the evening, it seems like the shut them down later afternoon. However based on the experience we have had so far we would recommend the Van Dyke Park Place to other families.
