The Olive Home is a small, close-knit community offering both assisted living and memory care services, and what you'll notice right away is that the staff's always attentive and trained to care for folks with different needs, including those with memory impairment like Alzheimer's or dementia, and they go out of their way to make sure everyone feels secure and respected in private or semi-private rooms, so you don't have to worry about privacy or dignity. Residents get a lot of help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, grooming, medication management, and even laundry and housekeeping, which lifts a burden off their shoulders, and when it comes to meals, the dining room serves restaurant-style food with plenty of choices made for special diets, including low or no sodium and low or no sugar, and they'll pay attention to allergies or diabetes, so everyone's covered. The building's clean and well-kept, with air-conditioning in every room, Wi-Fi and high-speed internet, movie rooms, TV lounges, furnished rooms, and spaces both inside and outside like gardens, patios, walking paths, and an enclosed courtyard where folks can enjoy fresh air. The Olive Home also offers plenty of activities, and there's an art class, BBQs, gardening club, birthday and holiday parties, pet programs, movie nights, and scheduled daily events, and you won't have to leave for spiritual needs because on-site devotional services are available. The community's location means it's close to healthcare providers, hospitals, pharmacies, restaurants, parks, and places of worship, so families and friends can visit easily, and residents can go out for a walk or a cup of coffee nearby. There's a nursing staff that checks on medication and watches over everyone 24/7, and they'll coordinate with doctors and other healthcare services as needed, and since memory care is a focus here, there's a lot of attention on safety, routine, and cognitive activities that are tailored for folks with dementia or mild cognitive challenges, and the staff is known to be kind, helpful, and friendly. They offer support with non-ambulatory care and incontinence care, too, and when it comes to keeping everyone active and involved, activities and wellness programs are always going on, and the common areas are designed so everyone, no matter their abilities, can participate. Amenities cover most needs, including transportation, parking, an on-site beautician, barber shop, and dry cleaning, and you get a sense that The Olive Home's about maintaining independence as much as possible while stepping in with help when needed. The place has a social media presence if families want to keep connected online, and overall, the environment is supportive, heartwarming, and built to make sure each resident has a good quality of life.
Clean but understaffed, unsafe care
I liked that the place was extremely clean, homey, and welcoming, the food was good, and the owner called daily - staff generally seemed supportive. However, it felt understaffed and overcrowded; residents were often rushed (baths), had hygiene and weight-loss concerns, little activity or outdoor time, and supervision felt unsafe after a wandering incident. Friendly surface-level staff couldn't hide poor attention and occasional mistreatment. I'd consider it for short respite care if medical needs are low, but not for someone needing higher-level care.
