Saint Paul Homes

My father was in both the skilled piece and the rehab piece at Saint Paul Homes. It was a lot better experience than the other place. The people were a little bit shorthanded, but they always made sure that they answered questions, knew where he was, got him ready to come out of his room in the morning, and were much more attentive. He was in a shared room and it was clean. The food was better than where he was. They had pudding and cottage cheese. They had chicken and meatloaf. They had ice cream and you could have a hamburger. They had like a little side menu of things if people didn't like what they were having, that they could pick off of. I would recommend it. Everybody was nice and concerned. They seemed to care about the patients.

Saint Paul Homes is unusual in the sense that when you move in there at any given time, if your condition worsens, you are guaranteed a room in whatever facility you need. That's how they handle their patients there. I believe the patients will be given a wrist bracelet that will set off an alarm if they try to go out the door. The staff was very helpful, took the time with me, and the building itself is absolutely beautiful. My father is going to a private room, but it's small, only 300 sq. ft. It looks brand-new, with a nice spacious bathroom, and all brand-new features. They had a lot of outdoor gardens, and they were accessible to all the patients. Very beautiful. They are supposed to transport him to different appointments. They did walk me by an exercise room, complete with all the equipment.

My dad has been in Saint Paul Homes once for rehab, and it was a good experience. It's probably the nicest one in our area, too. The rooms are very, very nice, the dining room is fantastic, and the staff seemed very good. You are getting a lot, but it is quite expensive for an average person. When he was there, he participated in some activities. He ate at the dining room for most of his meals, and he said the food was always good. He was also receiving therapy then because he was in rehab, so a lot of his daytime was spent with therapy. They had a community room for visitors where residents could go out and sit with them. My dad was in a room by himself. It wasn't large, but it had a recliner, a TV, and his own bathroom. The dining room on his floor was also pretty good-sized. It is quite a large facility, and it had a lot of different buildings depending on the level of care. Everything was very, very nice.

St Paul’s Nursing Home is nice, but my friend cannot afford to stay there. They were a good place -- clean and very friendly. It’s very well maintained, very nice, and organized. Nice neighborhood, very nice grounds.

St. Paul’s was clean, and the food was good. It's a very large facility, and you had to park outside. They didn't have a pool. The staff was very competent. They had nursing care.

I did not meet a lot of the staff other than the one who assisted me. She gave me a lot of material and explained how they have apartments that you can move in to. She explained all kinds of levels of care. It would be for my husband and me. St Paul Homes has homes that you could almost design yourself. They talked about the activities that they have. They say they take people who need to go to shop or events in the community on cars or buses. I've spoken to some people who live there. They have a person who showed me around her room. In the building where she lives, they all had small apartments with a bedroom and living room. The laundry room is communal down the hall. These were people who were quite able bodied that just didn't want to live alone. This woman has been there for eight years or so, and she couldn't say enough good things about the place. She apparently has time to volunteer, so she goes over to the Alzheimer's unit a couple of times a week. She assists over there in whatever way that she can. It is quite a large facility. I think I'll give it a pretty high score. Having been a social worker myself a few years ago, I saw a lot of facilities. I saw how nurses and staff work and how things got done or didn't get done. A lot of years ago, my mother was in another facility, and this place has really no comparison.
