Stratford Commons

My father was a resident at Stratford Commons Memory Care for almost 27 months. During that time, I visited him at least once or twice every week. Most of the nursing staff were caring, hard-working, and respectful of residents. Unfortunately, as is often the case in assisted living communities, staff sufficient to effectively meet residents’ needs were not always available. Another detrimental, but common to assisted living, problem was staff turnover, especially among supervisory personnel. The meals were above average, I believe, and the living quarters were one-bedroom apartments. I cannot really recommend this memory care community. It lacks group transportation to take residents to any outside activities. Of more particular significance, my father lost the ability to get up and walk while there, primarily because staff did not usually continue exercises begun by physical therapists after he had a fall. He also lost more than $300 worth of personal items during his stay.
