When my mother and husband and I toured (for placement of my father) many facilities over a weekend, we would come out of the facilities and then give a yes or no vote. We all said ""this is the one"", when we came out of the Hampton. Seriously, my husband loved the yummy home baked cookiesin the lobby. The furnishings are lovely, the staff is so considerate of the patients' dignity. The support groups are VERY helpful. Everyone wants to care for their family member at home, but when you need help they are there. A couple of months after we place Dad there, the executive director said she was more worried about my mother when she visited then my Dad's care. Sure enough my mother died in May. THEY KNOW THEIR STUFF!\r
I asked Dad recently what was his favorite activity. He said singing. I said what is your least favorite? And he couldn't come up with one. and he has always been able to easily find fault, so that was when I truly knew it was the right place for him.
Pros: they had the best cookies when we toured facilities, ha!
Cons: only one complaint in one year..darn hard to be perfect!
