Gaither Suites at West Park

My father was at Gaither Suites at West Park for assisted living. It was good. They had lots of activities they engaged in, but it was assisted living, which I know is vastly different than memory care. The staff was outstanding. They were very involved with the residents. They were on top of everything. My dad kept trying to leave, and it's not a locked-down facility. He couldn't stay there. They were just really good about bringing the residents out, and getting them involved in bingo and singing. They brought people in to play music. They were very compassionate and very loving. Overall, it was an excellent place. I don't have any complaints about that other than we had to leave because my dad couldn't stay there.

My aunt was in Gaither Suites at West Park ten years ago, and she was my mother's sister, so she was familiar with it. I went there three weeks ago, and it was very nice. I had no problem with it. The two staff I talked to remembered my aunt from ten years ago, and they were very nice. It was a little smaller facility than the other one we visited, but they were both very nice. It's very clean, modern, resident-friendly, and it was set up very nicely. It was convenient for me because it's fairly close to my house. It's just a senior living facility and laid out just for them. They had a nice outdoor-garden area, a small gym, a beauty salon and barber shop, laundry facilities for those who wanted to do their own -- or they had laundry service -- and a dining room. You could also eat in your apartment if you wanted to. It's fairly near the mall.
