Benton House of Decatur

I visit my mother in-law at benton house for the first time I love her room it was elegant and comfortable the community look very clean and beautiful i hope my mom enjoy living at the benton house

I have been very satisfied with the care I have received at Benton House, especially with someone with my type of health problems like getting my medicines to me at certain times of the day.

Job is very unprofessional….they fired me because I told the nurse that she doesn’t do her job and she let the employees do what ever they like so they got mad and let me go …the facility is disgusting ….they don’t clean the residents bathrooms nor rooms .. they leave the residents soiled for over 8 hours and when you bring it to the nurses attention she did. Nunthing about it but brush it off …the residents that are bed bound decline very facts because they don’t feed them how they need to be fed and they get massive bed sores …. I spoke up multiple times about this to the nurse Jacklyn and she did nunthing …they don’t like for you to speak up about them not doing they job and the moment you do they let you go .. they hire anybody and it’s ridiculous .. if you care about your loved one like you say you do do not move them in this facility I promise you will regret it because they will not get the proper care they need …they have went you speak up and stand up for what’s right….they also allow employees to lock up the residents items with out family knowledge or permission

I liked Benton House of Decatur when I visited it. I liked the people and that they had two small memory care units within the place. So, I felt like they had more focused attention on the residents. It just seemed like a great place. Dad's room is nice and large. It's very spacious, very roomy, and very clean. They keep the place very nice and up to date. It's not an old facility by any means. It's only probably five years old, so it's a nice place and there's plenty of space for him. I went there right after dinner, but I know he eats everything and I haven't heard any complaints about the food from anybody there. They have activities daily. In fact, they emailed me a calendar for the whole month with the activities for every day. There are interactive activities, whether it's for church service kind of things, music programs, and some physical activities. They have their own little courtyard for their memory care where they can go outside if they like, and it's not connected with anything else. It's just for their memory care unit, which is nice. The staff has been great from the very beginning to the people that are caring for him now. Just the other day when I was there, I was able to talk to one of the nurses and she was able to give me details. You can tell that they actually pay attention to the people there.

This is a nice place to live. It is a place to make friends and have a good time while being taken care of, but with freedom to go where you want.
