What families are saying

We’ve gathered and summarized real family reviews from across the internet for you. Contact a Seniorly representative for details.
Decatur House is a small, family-owned respite care facility that offers a homey, bed-and-breakfast-like atmosphere. The apartments are comfortable, well-designed, and include a kitchenette with a mini fridge and sink. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and features a bright dining area and lovely grounds with pathways and a deck. The staff is described as attentive, caring, and personable, with some members having been there for over 20 years. Communication with families is generally good, and the staff is willing to answer questions. However, some reviews mention a lack of communication and broken promises. Activities are available, including exercise classes and wine trivia, but some residents find them limited and experience boredom. The facility is not recommended for those with significant health issues or dementia, as it lacks a night nurse and sometimes uses the chef to distribute medications. The food receives mixed reviews, with some residents enjoying it while others are distrustful. The community is smaller, with a maximum of 38 residents, which some find appealing, while others feel a larger community would be more suitable. The initial cost is high, but many feel the services provided are worth the expense. Overall, Decatur House is recommended for those who can afford it and whose needs align with the services offered.
