Lynridge of Murphy Assisted Living & Memory Care

I recently have walked through this facility twice with the memory care director Mrs. Dena. The facility was clean, very well taken care of, no dust anywhere. All the residents were so sweet, they would stop doing their puzzles, watching movies, or playing games to come greet us with smiles and conversation. I was shown some of the jewelry they made, which was gorgeous and told about them having a day out of the week to bake. Every care taker you could tell enjoyed being there and being with the residents. I saw lots of dancing with them, singing, helping them when they were lost or with the activity they were working on. Talking to them like a family member. Everything was very organized and just amazing and heart warming to see.

My mom had a fall and I felt like I needed to start looking for options just in case she needs more help than I can provide in her home. I went to visit Lynridge and met Taylor. I was impressed by the facility but Taylor made me feel so comfortable and relaxed with the whole process. Luckily at this point mom is still at a place where she can stay in her own home but now I feel like I have options. Taylor has continued to stay in contact and made this property stand out. If you need care for a loved one absolutely reach out to her.

Each time I have visited Lynridge of Murphy I am highly impressed by how happy and welcoming the staff and residents are. I have volunteered at this community several times over the last 3 years and have truly enjoyed interacting with the residents and their families. The food has always been amazing and the activities they provide are engaging and meaningful. I would highly recommend this community.

I have visited the community during the week and often on weekends and seeing the last post I have to speak up. Families need to know from another family friend that the memory care unit is often very dirty, has a smell and apartments are not kept very clean. I have seen cockroaches in the dining room area and the floors sticky when I walk through. During meals very small portions are served and at times run out. Few times there has been water stain by the kitchen window with no sign to say be careful. I have noticed poop stain on the carpet when I enter and when I go to the common area the residents are just sitting there with NO activity going on. Employees are on their phones and not paying attention. Some residents have magazines in front of them to make it seem like they are doing something. I have seen a calendar and when I read it the activity schedule is not happening. I have been there during the week and noticed how the manager in the unit is not paying attention to what the employees do and have seen her walk in and go to the office. This is concerning as family members we place our loved ones in these communities because we are unable to care for them and this is what they have to go through. Be involved and ensure that the care you pay for is being done.
