![]() ![]() I discovered that she was spending almost all of her time alone in her room. After about a month at the facility, my aunt began to be withdrawn and seemed to be unwilling to talk to us when we visited. They seemed to offer many activities in addition to the long-term memory and dementia care. The facility is very attractive and very cheerful. I and several other family members visited Eskaton because it was close enough to where we lived that we felt we could visit my aunt frequently. Then she began to forget where she left things, what day it was, whether she had taken her medications-the usual slow decline. She was in good health and able to care for herself for several years. Her husband had died a few years earlier. SoftKitty My aunt began having memory problems. People were also invited to bring their dogs, so it's pretty nice the way they have it set up. He is so sweet and he goes around and visits the guests. It's a dog-friendly community, and that's appealing because they have this big dog named Shep. They can help themselves, or they can ask someone who works there to bring them something to their room. They keep it stocked with yogurt, pudding, and cereal. They have puzzles and games in the game room, they have movie nights, and there's a little kitchen area that the guests are welcome to go into. A physical therapist there was doing exercise with them. Because of COVID, a lot of the big events are not able to be going on right now, but they said usually they're able to have bigger groups. There was an exercise situation going on. They offered a lot for people to do, and it was just charming. ![]() One gentleman, his name was Aldo, and she goes, 'Aldo also served in the Korean conflict,' where my dad was a marine in the 1950s, so there seems to be a real connection between the staff and the guests at the facility. ![]() She spoke to them by name, and they knew her. The woman that walked me through the facility, knew every single guest that was there. What I liked was the staff and how they interacted with the guests. The facility itself is very elegant, attractive, and inviting. Lori I went to Eskaton Village Roseville. ![]()
