St Ann Rest Home

I am a friend or relative of a resident

My grandmother was a resident of St. Ann's. This Catholic nursing home is also the home of many retired nuns who live in a different part of the facility. I have seen a few different nursing homes due to my aging grandparents, but this nursing home was one of the better ones. There were ample activities such as crafts, music, games, and even field trips for the residents. From what I saw, they were treated with respect and kindness. The most negative thing I witnessed had to do with lack of staffing. When my grandmother would ring for help, it would take quite awhile for anyone to come and I would have to go and find someone to help my grandmother to the bathroom, etc. The facility itself was very clean and the people were always friendly. They would come and take my grandma to the facility's chapel every week. They would make sure she was eating and try to get her to socialize. Even when she became very sick and she only had days to live, they called a resident nun to come sit with her and pray for her. It was comforting.
