My dad moved into Hayden Grove – St. Anthony shortly after they opened in 2023, starting in Independent Living, and recently transitioned to Memory Care. Moving a parent into memory care doesn’t come with a handbook. Even two months in, I still have questions, and the team has been supportive every step of the way. Executive Director Abby and her team, along with the nursing team led by Elizabeth, have been responsive, patient, and quick to answer anything I’ve needed. They helped me feel calm and reassured during a really hard time.
They also partner with a physician’s office (and soon a dental office), which means I don’t have to worry about scheduling or transporting my dad to appointments. If needed, they can even bring equipment like X-ray and EKG machines right to the resident’s room. My dad thinks that’s pretty great, and he has no idea how much peace of mind that has given me.
Abby’s team, including Jenny, Shelley, and Colin, are great. Jeffrey and Lisa at the front are so easy to talk to and always greet you with a smile, and Kelsey plans lots of fun activities. Everyone has been supportive, and most importantly, I feel confident my dad is safe and cared for.
The building is beautiful, and every time I show his unit to others, they are in awe of how large it is and how independent it feels for a memory care apartment. The memory care area is secured 24/7, but it feels like regular apartment living. My dad doesn’t even realize he’s in the memory care part of the building, which says so much about how comfortable it feels. Having experienced both independent living and now memory care, I can honestly say this community is exceptional.
