How placement works
Applying for long-term care

- 1A care coordinator confirms that long-term care is the right level of care and that you're eligible.
- 2You pick the homes you'd like, and your name is added to each home's waiting list.
- 3When a bed opens and you're next in line, the home offers it to you.

A really lovely place with friendly, caring staff! You hear so many horror stories about care for dementia patients, I was extremely worried when we were no longer able to care for my father at home. However, he has been doing really well at Arborstone - the staff are very kind and patient with him, and I was thrilled to find out that they do a lot of enrichment activities.

My mom lived there for a year and a half. The facility and grounds are beautiful and clean. The staff are excellent. The caregivers, nurses, social workers, the specialists, all go above and beyond for those in their care. Would highly recommend if you want the best for your loved one.
