My father came home with pressure wounds from a rehab stay along with an infection in those wounds and a UTI. They also reassured us we would NOT get a bill and they would be filling an appeal with insurance and it should go through, and that the insurance just needed proper documentation for it to get paid, never ONCE was he told he was getting charged for the visit and that charges would start the following week if he didn't discharge. Well he discharged before he would have had to pay out of pocket and they are STILL trying to bill for services they said was going to be covered.

I was at Bishop Drum for two weeks of rehab following back surgery. From the moment that I arrived until I left, everyone from the front desk to the incredible aids to the physical therapists, occupational therapists, and nurses were top notch. I appreciated their patience with me as they challenged me. Thanks also to Michele in the beauty parlor and the nuns who always had a smile and a hug. You are all special.

Bishop Drumm has the best care team. The Executive Director has been there about 7 years, and the staff really cares about the residents. That means a lot. They also keep the residents active—great for their health—and support them mentally and spiritually. I really appreciate their dedication to their residents.

My name is Mabel M Jones and I have been a resident of Bishop Drumm Retirement Center during the month of November. The nurses have been most kindly, caring and sincere in their care. The aids and rest of the staff have been helpful and kind . You should be proud of your Bishop Drumm Center. Thank Social Worker Almedina for her work in getting us all the follow up treatment in Mitchell. It was nice that she helped make my mind at ease. My husband was treated well by the staff. Thank you for all you did for our family.

Bishop Drumm is a great place to come for short or long term care. My husband and I have have been residents there and the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. They take great care of your physical and mental health needs. I’ve been a resident at Bishop Drumm a couple times due to an auto-immune disease & both times I have received wonderful care. They have been patient & have always been willing to help me with my needs. It’s a great place to be if you or your loved ones need skilled nursing, independent living or assisted living care.
