The BEST staff and such a beautiful facility here in SW Stark County! Our family has been very happy with all aspects of care here for the past five years and counting. Keep up the good work!

Mom was very happy when she was in assisted living, but after they moved her into the skilled nursing facility, she declined at a very rapid pace. If your loved one isn't aware of what's going on around them or cannot communicate, I strongly suggest choosing a facility with Memory Care Unit. There were exceptional nurses & aides that actually cared, and there were also some who were just there to collect a paycheck & hold up the desk at the nurses station & scroll on their phone. Mom either had excellent care or she was neglected. It just depended on who was working. This could really be a great place if they weeded out the lazy ones and they had people engage and interact with the dementia patients instead of letting them sit in a wheelchair and stare into space 99% of the time, which accelerates their decline significantly. They put Depends on her on day one even though she still had control of her bodily functions. PROS:I do love that they had activities/parties/concerts for the residents. Mom was always clean. I liked that the nurses would have a meeting and communicate needs, concerns, and formulate a plan. Food is actually pretty good! CONS: Little to no interaction with dementia patients. No memory care unit. Complaints aren't taken seriously or addressed by management in my experience. If your loved one doesn't have cognitive issues, I think this nursing home is a good place. If they do have cognitive challenges, I would suggest going to a facility with a Memory Care unit.

I am so thankful for Brewster Parke skilled nursing and the staff. My mom had to be admitted from home due to she was unable to care for herself and needed 24 hour care. She was unable to stand or walk in her own due to pain. She is now able to stand and ambulate with a walker thanks to therapy and all the staff that truly care about her. She has improved greatly since being here and continues to improve with the help of the staff. The administrative staff, nursing staff and therapy are wonderful.

Deplorable conditions. Halls cluttered. Smells of urine. Nursing and aides all walking around unmasked despite state and federal regs stating they must mask and wear eye pro. Residents asking for help and told they don't have enough staff. The person I was visiting had to use the restroom. Asked to step outside room so they could assist him. After a few moments she comes out. I ask if he was taken to the bathroom he states no, she said she needs two people. He pulls down the blanket and she had stuck a urinal/jug between his legs and covered with a blanket. This man cannot walk. Cannot care for himself, was left nude under the blanket did. I remained there for another hour and no one returned. Weekends are a zoo there. Free for all, staff do what they want. Odd considering they say owner and admin live on the campus. Must not care what's going on over there. Sad stuff. Once more smell is nauseating as soon as you walk in the door. I've been in kennels that smell better than that hole.

My mother-in-law passed away about a week ago, Thanksgiving Day. The care that she received from the staff was outstanding. During her stay at Brewster Parke for 2 yrs, She was so happy. The staff always was so helpful with her daily activities. Everyone at this facility treated you like you were family. I could sleep at night knowing she was in good hands. The staff answered any questions. It was so nice to be included in your care planning. When the time came that she needed more care Hospice was suggested. We want to say thanks to the many aides, and nurses, the care planning team. The laundry and cleaning employees would come in with a smile. The day we had to admit her into the nursing home the admissions director, Lisa made this such a good experience. Thank you. Jennifer the social worker is amazing so helpful and caring. Thank you. A special thank you to Christina, DON for helping me each day when I needed a friend to sit and chat with. For being Shirley's friend when she needed one. Thank you to Caleb in dietitian for bringing Shirley a smile each day, you would take the time to say hi, you even came in on your days off for a short visit. She loved your visits. Thank you, Jason (candyman she would call you) a nurse who was with her during her last hours. Hospice had many caring people who was there for Shirley besides the care of Brewster Parke employees. Kathleen, Tina and Chaplin Steve are truly a blessing, Thank you so much for everything you had done for Shirley. So yes this is a very caring place, that have many hearts that truly care about their residents. Thank you so much once again. We love you all.
