My parents are now at Hawthorne Village in Ocala. Is it perfect? Nope. But they try. The nurse in charge of the dementia unit is great and the staff is motivated. It is not as fancy as some of the places we looked at, but they make up for it in the care they give their patients.
Want to know what impresses me most? The housekeeping person responsible for the wing where my dad is (not on the dementia unit as he is bed ridden and not a "wander risk") is a kind, gentle woman who knows all of the patients by name and their family members. She is never too busy to get water for a patient, pick up something that they have dropped or find the nurse for them.
