We were in a desperate point in my mom's dementia progression. She was having paranoid delusions daily and had become violent toward my dad on a daily basis -- including pulling knives on him. My sister and I visited several assisted living facilities that had memory care wings -- while they were nice in many ways they all had major drawbacks and didn't seem capable of handling mom's level of agitation. The team at Arden Courts spent over an hour with us and walked us through step by step how we could manage moving mom in and how they would manage her paranoia. They said everyone eventually transitions - that the longest it would take was 6 weeks. And they were absolutely right! Mom gave them a challenging six weeks, but with a lot of care, trying out medications and a high level of communication with us - she did indeed get to a place where she was content at Arden Courts. The staff went out of their way to make her comfortable -- she asked for a newspaper and they went out and bought one every day for her the first few weeks! My sister and I felt so listened to and supported. They have a lovely outdoor space and the residents sit together at lunches. This became her little community. The staff were always available to meet with us and were responsive when we made requests such as adding a bird feeder outside of her room. We are grateful to the Arden Courts team for the care and respect that they have shown mom and our family for the past six months.
