I found Prestige Senior Living Auburn Meadows for my ex-husband. They take spend-down Medicaid. They had activities and a dining hall, and they featured snacks in between meals. They had a walking group in the morning. They have a shuttle service for shopping. They have nurses available for part of the day. They have a doctor that visits the facility once or twice a month. They allow cats. Everybody seems to be very nice, welcoming. My ex-husband is happy with how friendly the staff is. They do have housekeeping to do weekly linens and towels. And they have people that he's been introduced to that are closer to his age. I had one meal with him last weekend, the food was good, the server was nice, and he enjoyed his meal. You can ask for more if you're still hungry or you can get a sandwich, a salad, or a hamburger in between if you're hungry. Everything was very clean. They have public restrooms that are very clean. The entrance and the grounds are clean. The landscaping is kept well. They have activities, they make things, they have games, movie night three times a week, and they have cable, that's part of the rent. They have a little kitchenette in the studio apartment. It's a good-sized studio and has a good-sized shower. They have washing machines available to use for your clothing. They have maintenance to help with anything that goes wrong in the apartment. But also they took away the collapsed boxes after he moved in.

It is an above average facility, from my limited exposure to such places. My mom is fairly happy there. Positives: It is a clean, friendly facility with pretty good food.

It is an above average facility, from my limited exposure to such places. My mom is fairly happy there. Positives: It is a clean, friendly facility with pretty good food. The staff works hard and greets you with a lot of positivity. They seem to genuinely care for their residents, and most of the residents seem happy when you encounter them in the halls and dining area. Negatives: they are woefully understaffed and have a fair amount of turnover it seems. The communication is not timely, and you really need to be organized and be your own advocate. You have to stay on top of care (like meds) and financials. They seem to be in a constant state of overwhelm. They do not have good systems in place for certain things. I really do think they are one of the good ones — just want people to know that they will need to be active participants in monitoring their loved one's care.
