A few months ago, we decided we needed a better option for our mother. She wasn't doing well in her home, and when we brought in some caretakers to help her physically, she remained isolated and depressed. I said I would never put my mother in a " nursing facility," so it was difficult for us. When we started looking, we were pretty pleased by what we found: large communities of older adults cared for well. However, when we went to Calyx, we saw more than this; we found a home. From the leadership to the people providing dir... read more

Terrible staffing issues. Pathetic at following through with calls for help. My husband has an AVERAGE response time of over 2 hours every time he rings for help. Pathetic upper management.

Example #1 I picked up my husband on Friday AM for the weekend. Sheets were removed from his bed to be laundered. Returned 9:30 pm Sunday evening. No sheet... read more

I have been most pleased with the care here since moving my mom into the memory care unit. The staff is so kind and understanding in such a difficult stage of life. They have made themselves available to me well beyond the regular workday hours and are prompt with responding to my questions and/or needs. This is such a joy since I live in another state. I really feel that Mom is being well cared for.

I had the pleasure of touring this facility. I was impressed with the size inside, even though it looks smaller from the exterior. It has a homey feel, which is what I was looking for. I was impressed with the dementia/memory loss unit- secure but so thoughtfully set up. Hoping i won't need the dementia unit but great that it is there if I do. The 5 star dining sounds awesome - I can't wait! They are so concerned about the residents and their well-being along with their families. This makes them the place I choose to be.
