Update (Part 2)

 

Yesterday, my husband and I moved my mom into Mifflin Court where she will reside for the next full month. Her room is very nice - a lot like an efficiency hotel room. It has a small kitchenette, private bathroom, a small living room area, and a bedroom with two twin beds and plenty of night stands and roomy closet. It is completely furnished and we had them include a phone and television as well. The building is very well kept and this place has everything!

The Dining Room for the residents.
Entertainment room. There is also has a large activity room as well (not pictured)
Hairdressing Salon.
24-Hour nurse on staff at all times. When a resident checks in, they are given a Med Alert-type button to wear along with their apartment room key. They also set up a motion/movement device in the living room part of the apartment to detect a fall immediately so that they may respond right away. They will also transport her to her up-coming doctor appointments free of charge.
Part of the Lobby: Beautiful canaries and birds who love to sing to you! Very relaxing - and very cleanly kept!

Among the items that I needed to pick up for my mom was a set of women's pajamas - she had none at home that fit her since she lost so much weight. So, I ran to our local Walmart to get her this ... I told her just wait until the caregivers who help her get her night clothing on get a load of this - lol! 

It was a bit of a rough start, but she is already making friends and has told me that the people are very nice and helpful. The staff are wonderful - from the Admissions Director right down to the nurses and caregivers. So far, we are extremely pleased. She starts up her Outpatient Therapy as of tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

  2. As 'CJ' said, this does look a very nice place, and it would seem that your mom is settling in well.
    To say you must be relieved is an understatement :)

    All the best Jan
