Last stop, Pond View. A short 4 miles from home, this assisted living had just the basics. Not enough activities for the residents, too many obvious dead ends in the hallways, too many residents; it all seemed a little disorienting. So, Pond View is not the place for mom.
I'm putting mom's name on the waiting list at Eagle Crest Arbor and RiverVillage East. Both places have a waiting list of 4-6 months. Crest View has an opening now but the other two places had more amenities. Crest View, though smaller, is still in the running simply because it's cozy, there's a nice garden and it feels like a home. The staff were very attentive and they get the residents out and involved instead of sleeping all day.
