My sister who suffered from acute and end of life Fronto Temporal Dementia had to be moved from our home hospice care to CECA because we were no longer able to provide 24/7 support and supervision for all of her needs of daily living. The decision to move her to CECA and away from the family was a heartbreaking but necessary one. However, from the moment we arrived my sister was cared for with kind, patient, and warm approaches from the staff. In fact, some of the staff were gifted in their love and nurture, and really went to admirable lengths to best understand and joyfully provide for my sister who could no longer communicate or understand language. We also experienced the administrative team to be deep listeners who cared about my sister’s happiness and quality of life. We entered CECA at all times day and night unannounced, and my sister was always properly supervised and care for. While the decision to transfer a vulnerable family member to a nursing care facility can be a very difficult one, we felt fortunate that my sister's end of life was managed by an ethical and responsible staff that understands the importance of holding a family’s loved one.
My family member has been in the dementia unit for ten months and the compassion, kindness and resourcefulness of the staff there have been outstanding. No overmedicating here, and they deal with everyone with patience and respect. I'm there an hour or two nearly every day, I see what goes on, and I wouldn't have him anywhere else. The staff have also been extremely welcoming, accepting and open with me.
The rehab department at this facility does a great job attending to all the needs of their patients , identifying all the areas of functions that need treatment. Nursing staff are compassionate and take the time to provide caring assistance . I recommend this facility to all my family and friends .
Do not send anyone there! My mother was there for several years, and it was a horrific experience. The memory care unit is understaffed and underinvested. She was formerly at the Arbors in Greenfield, which had been wonderful. She moved when she needed more skilled nursing, and the difference between the two places was stark. Do not go.
My mom is a current resident and she is treated very well. The staff is amazing to her. I am there quite often to visit my mom and spend quality time. I see what goes on. Anything that my mom needs, they are there. Yes, no place is perfect, but they try. Every place is short staffed but the staff that are in my moms section do a great job and it shows in their personalities and work ethic.
