During my visit today, the first nurse was super upbeat and helpful to my dad. She even did a little dance in the room. I loved her approach. The second nurse was very open and friendly with me and showed appropriate concern for my dad. She asked me questions to see how she could better help him thru his rough moments. That showed her true heart for the people she cares for. I can't express enough how much these things meant to me today. ❤️ Thank you.
When first arriving, you're not told everything you need to know that's available to you. What wasn't good, is the light switch near a rooms entrance turns both lights on, which become a problem when one person wants their light out during certain times and pulling the light cord only makes your light brighter. Beds & pillows are most uncomfortable. Thin bed clothes leaves better to be desired. Air conditioner's cooling isn't felt in any desired direction. TV channels get randomly changed while viewing something already, as if someone else in the building is also connected to same device, which can be annoying trying to fight to keep what you been viewing. A shared room with another isn't good, when a curtain is the only divide, doesn't give much privacy. Room wall divide would be much better. Curtains are only appropriate for those who stay no longer than a few hours and not even one day. Physical Therapy is more like a placebo. Short workouts don't help. Mostly inadequate equipment / devices that does very little. Food & drink is ok but still needs quality improvement. What's not good is when you are missing things that suppose to be served on your list. Most of the staff are nice, thoughtful and friendly but the quiet few (like programed robots) needs to be gone. As they don't make residents feel any better during their stay. Can cause mishaps. People like that shouldn't work with the public, but in factories. Some are so busy in trying to get things done, they don't remember to carry out a request by resident. Bird sanctuary is a feature I liked best. I can't help but wonder why there's no bird bath thing for them. I didn't get that feel of home away from home. It was more like limited confinement among a bunch of crazies.
Monica M is amazing ! She was the nurse for my Mother and was so caring, attentive, and nurturing to my Mom. I was in Alaska and was worried about my Mom. She had a stroke and it would be a few days before I could get there. Monica M would call and give me detailed updates on my mom's care. That helped reassure me that my Mom was ok! Monica M was absolutely wonderful and I'm grateful that I had her as my nurse
I was there at lunch time today and the staff was so helpful to all the residents not just mine sister-in-law I just watch how they're ten if they are to the patients and interacting with the patients is this a pleasant place to watch and look to work my sister-in-law really act like she likes living there I have seen her at other places and seem like she really enjoyed this one the best I really have enjoyed being there with her visiting with her I took my hat to y'all good teamwork. And I have pleasure of eating lunch there and the food was hot and good.
I had the pleasure of being with a beloved resident and helping her with some room organization. One aide and the activity director and I worked together and had so much fun! Both sides of the room were de-cluttered. The finished product brought both roommates and the staff a breath of fresh air and a sense of peace instead of chaos! The staff was so friendly with me and the residents. Overall, a great couple of hours and time well spent:)
