I have a considerable experience as my Mom has been in and out of numerous facilities the last decade. St. Johns has been far and away the very best. The place is clean, no signs of what I call the “ the nursing home cologne”. There is no offensive odor which speaks volumes to the care and cleanliness. In addition, the staff seems to be attentive and will go out of there way to make the patients happy. They seem to really care about those they care for. Lastly, the effort that goes into providing a vibrant social life is nothing short of amazing. From a Casino Night, an Elvis impersonator and Bingo days, the residents have a means to stay involved and not withdraw. I hope this helps put your concerns to rest.

My relative is at St. John Specialty Care Center. We can't keep her up for too long because it's $2,090 a month. Right now, she's in the assisted area because she needs to have a care for her mental health. That's why she can't be here with us, she needs to be somewhere where they help her every day, but we want her out of there because it's for old people, and she's only 58 years old. She's young and beautiful for her age. That's why we're trying very hard to get her help. She said they're doing crafts, and trying the best they can with COVID. That's about all I know, because we're not allowed to visit her, but I talk to her on the phone. The only thing she's unhappy about is she says it's not home cooking, 'cause she's an excellent cook. She's actually a gourmet cook, that's the only complaint she has. The people there are kind, loving, helpful, wonderful, and nice people. They call and talk to me, and they've sent me a lot of literature. They're just sad about my relative not being able to have company right now, but she has her cellphone, and she can talk, which is a blessing. They are the most caring, sweet, and helpful people you will ever meet. My relative has been there once before, and she had been there a couple of months when I got to visit her. She loves the food. Actually, I would go up there and they would charge you. It used to be $3 and I enjoyed eating there. It was very nice. The food is always hot, served nicely, and they are always very kind to you. They have their own room, they get to decorate it, and she has a plant. Her kids helped her to decorate her room, so it's quite lovely, and they're very kind. Then each person has their own bag hanging on their door and they each get their laundry done. They have a beauty shop there to get their hair done. She's only been up there for a little while yet, but when she was there before she was there a couple of months.

My Dad has been a resident of this facility for approximately 9 months. We initially thought we had made a good choice. Boy were we wrong ! My Dad has dementia and they told my Mom that he would have to be moved as he now requires more care than they can handle. They gave us very little warning so my 84 year old Mom had to scramble to find another facility that would take him. She actually found 3 that were willing to take him so he wouldn`t have to go to a nursing home like St. John`s wanted us to do. As if that wasn`t bad enough, as my Mom and us were moving his furniture and belongings out, St John`s neglected to tell us that Dad had gotten a covid test and that they were waiting on the results. Had my Mom known, we would`ve waited until the results came back before moving his belongings out. Now my Dad`s belongings are all moved out and he is stuck in his room at St. John`s with NOTHING. He can`t move anywhere and everything he owns is at the new facility. Gross incompetence and total lack of caring on full display. Hopefully he can move out tomorrow. It can`t happen soon enough. The only thing these people can do well is take your money. If I could give 0 stars I would.

This facility is grossly understaffed! I am afraid to say more because my grandparent is still in the facility and I don't want backlash, but if you have a choice, we don't , look somewhere else.

St. John Lutheran was pretty good. We did not eat there, but the variety of the food seemed fine. The facility was fine and adequate.

It so happened that my sister had volunteered at St. John, so I was glad she could go somewhere that she was familiar with before she passed away. I saw activities on the calendar, but she wasn't able to partake in anything like that. They did try to encourage her when she was alert. The security was very good as far as I know. I had to stay at night sometimes, they were very caring as they made sure I was comfortable too, and I can't think of anything they could improve on frankly. I was very pleased.
