Residents and their families say:

The Madeline of Decatur receives mixed reviews, showcasing a variety of experiences among individuals and their families. Positive feedback highlights the community's attentive and caring staff, well-maintained and clean facilities, a variety of engaging activities including memory games, holiday-themed dinners, and outdoor activities, as well as the specialized care for residents with dementia or Alzheimer’s. The layout of the community, with its neighborhood scenery and secure memory care unit that maintains an open, sunny environment, is especially praised. The availability of various room options and the clear effort to create a home-like environment contribute to the sense of satisfaction reported by many. Facilities like the communal dining and activities rooms add to the communal feel. Furthermore, the detail that residents in different stages of dementia are mixed together to prevent isolation is noted as a positive aspect, alongside the community's effective handling of COVID-19 restrictions.
However, there are concerns expressed about insufficient staff to resident ratio, leading to safety worries and feelings of neglect for some residents, especially those in the early stages of dementia. Staff turnover and communication issues following leadership changes are also mentioned. In addition, the lack of private showers for residents and the undergoing construction work were points of contention for some reviewers. While many appreciated the variety and quality of food offered, housekeeping standards, particularly bathroom cleanliness, and the need for better activity participation were areas highlighted for improvement. Despite these criticisms, the overall sentiment leans towards satisfaction with the care and environment provided to residents at The Madeline of Decatur, supported by thorough recommendations and expressed contentment from several reviewers regarding the care of their loved ones.
