Best Care Senior Living at Saint Joseph

I didn't like anything about Best Care Senior Living at Saint Joseph. It looked like they put people with mental health issues with people that don't have mental health issues. They had people sitting all cluttered up in one area. They were watching this one TV and it was not a good environment. I don't recommend putting my dad in this place. They had this one area where a couple of people were sitting in there, and one of the guys threw the ball over the fence and he yelled at me. He said, "Nobody wants to play with me." I went ahead and I got the ball and gave the ball to the attendant who was emptying the trash. It looked like a psychiatric facility. I didn't like where it was located also because that was located right there on Doctor Martin Luther King Boulevard. There's a whole bunch of traffic going on in this place. The pictures make it look phenomenal, but these are pictures with nobody in it. This was the worst place that I visited. All of their rooms were shared rooms and the rooms are so small that you can reach over from your bed and touch the other person in their bed. That's no way to live with a stranger.

I went to Best Care Senior Living at Saint Joseph. Based on what I saw, it seemed that all the residents were getting the care that they needed. I didn't see any individual being neglected or not taken care of, so that was fine. I saw the staff interacting with the residents. I saw residents gathered together to watch television and play games. However, it was a little difficult to get someone to tour me around the facility. I think the director was on a different campus at the time, so I got shown around by a medtech there. The rooms seemed pretty standard to what I saw at other facilities. They have double rooms and single rooms that come furnished. There is a bathroom in there. The shower doesn't have like a sit-down, so that would be one drawback. It seemed that they might be a little understaffed, and some work needed to be done on the upkeep. There wasn't trash anywhere or anything like that. It just seemed that the building is old.

We toured Best Care Senior Living at Saint Joseph for my sister-in-law. It was a nice facility. They took us through everything. The rooms and everything were nice. The staff was nice. It was a really clean place. It was a secure place. You didn't have to worry about the residents walking out of the facility because everything was well secured and locked, and they had cameras installed. It was a really beautiful place. They do a lot of craft projects. They do a lot of activities as far as getting the residents out and gathering them together.

The staff is excellent and very personal and caring toward my mother and myself. Christine the manager goes out of her way to make sure that my mom feels like she's at home. My mom calls the staff member her daughters and that they protect her and look out for her. The facilities is clean and the cleaning staff also care about the residents Overall an excellent place I sleep well knowing my mom is well taken care of.

T.N.

I went to Best Care Senior Living at Saint Joseph. I thought it was very big. The neighbor said there was a homeless person sitting outside on a bench, and the residents were sitting out there. Their idea of exercise is to sit outside in the courtyard. The rooms were like brick walls, they were like studios and hospital beds, the residents didn't have a lot of freedom with food choices, and it was very confined. They share one TV and all sit in the one living space. The doors are kept locked; residents can't go to a different floor unless they are escorted. The people were just sitting around or lying around looking heavily medicated, and I did not think the facility was really clean.
