Resident & family reviews
My Mother was sent to Mayfield for comfort care in September 2011. I spent from 2 pm until 6 am with her for 10 days. I was astounded by the degree of care she received.
Everything that could be done was done to make her final days as comfortable as possible both physically and mentally...even removing her chin hair when she fretted about it!
Since Mama's death I have continued to visit (three or four times a week) with friends I made.
There are lots of activities for those able to participate; birthdays are celebrated. The staff, both nursing and administrative, are caring, concerned and involved. The administrator sets an example to the rest of the staff by having an open-door policy for residents and family members.
Before my interaction with Mayfield, I had a somewhat negative view of such facilities. Unfortunately, that view was based on what I thought and not what I knew.
My Mother's experience during her final days and my experience as a "drop-in" visitor have changed my opinion. And if I ever need such care, Mayfield will be my first choice.
