If you care at all for the person you are thinking of placing into a full care facility, DO NOT LET THEM STAY ONE DAY AT COURTSIDE COTTAGES. The executive director, [removed] only cares about the bottom line and not the patients or the staff. If you visit Courtside, pay attention to two things; notice that not one patient is wearing glasses or hearing aids (both of which are important stimulus for dementia patients); also, notice that not one patient is involved in any kind of activities (walking, arts and crafts, etc.).
