Walden Place is attractive, bright and sunny. We saw smiles every where we went from both staff and residents. The amenities are wonderful. We could only view a studio unit because all others were occupied but were able to get floor plans. We became familiar with the facility, activities, dining options, available assistance, transportation, etc. It truly is a beautiful facility filled with caring people.

Review for Walden Place

I only rated it that way because some things are a joke, especially the things they claim they do. What matters most is how the residents view the place. The food and room size is ok.

Review for Walden Place

It was a very nice facility everything the activities it was very clean even on the memory care unit where I know that a lot of the patients might have incontinence and you know mess theyself it was very clean you couldn't smell anything but a light light scent of urine but at the same time they fed her very well the only thing that I had a problem with was her personal care They told me that they would do her hair they did not they did not grease it She was there for almost 3 weeks and she had the same hairdo in her hair that she had when she got there and that was something I was very displeased with if you're going to have a facility open to Caucasian and African American people then you should also have someone on staff that knows how to take care of African American hair My mother's hair was hideous when I brought her home and I did not appreciate that

Dad is happy

I think it's a little pricey the amount they charge to give meds I think is a little high. It really is a small facility and It feels more homey my dad seems alot more comfortable there they're always trying to find something new for them to do.

Praises for Walden Place

I would highly recommend Walden Place for dementia patients. The staff are so caring for the residents. The meals are good and healthy. They have activities for them and try to keep them busy instead of staying in their rooms

Great staff!

The staff members are very sweet and helpful, however they could learn how to accommodate special dietary needs of patients---specifically puréed. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend the Walden Place community to other families

Would Highly Recommend

The staff at Walden Place are very helpful and cooperative, especially considering that they are short-staffed. They are doing the very best they can. And the staff who are there are great. The facility has been very nice. It's very comfortable, and they decorate nicely for every little holiday that comes along. I think they're doing an amazing job considering they have so little to work with. And I would highly recommend them to others in need of care.

The best thing that has happened to my mom.

IT has been a very friendly community. In the memory care unit, she doesn't get out much. But the staff have been very welcoming and very helpful. They have lots of activities. They do exercises every morning. They do their nails and makeover kind of things. They have a hairdresser who comes in once a week. There's a nice outside courtyard where the residents are free to sit outdoors when the weather is nice. The activities director takes them on outings for ice cream and things like that. They have movie nights with popcorn. So she's very busy. They do a good job keeping the residents engaged.

Walden Place is The Place for Your Loved One

I would recommend Walden Place to others for their loved ones, and already have. I wish the follow up on information from the staff about my loved one's care would be better. Some of the care my loved one receives includes monitor blood sugar, medication management, and more Bus Trips, shopping trips, bingo, outside entertainment, music, activity center, and more are some of the activities for the residents to choose from. The food is excellent here.

Walden Place review

Our loved one has settled in nicely, the staff made sure on our initial tours to really engage with our loved one in conversation. We were very impressed with the staff from the very beginning. You can tell they really know their stuff from the heart, it gave us confidences knowing we are doing the right thing. The place itself is a little limited, the lounge area and activities space is small, but there is a nice little garden.

Overall we feel like it was a pretty good experience, and we would recommend it

Our loved one first moved in on the memory care side and that was a very good experience The person who oversaw it was great, she really seemed on top of everything and was always very responsive. We had great communication with her. Now our loved one is on the assisted living side and we know there was going to be less oversight, but the nurse who oversees assisted living has been a little difficult working with, sometimes the communication gets lost regarding our loved ones medication.

Highly Recommended

I would recommend this community. The community has hired a full time activities director for the memory care floor. There are computer games for recognition, personal care like manicures, field trips, arts and crafts, and prior to COVID they would stop and get ice cream. The food is really good. The room is spacious for my loved one.
