Marian Manor of Stafford

Marian Manor of Stafford had a homey feeling. It was smaller and more personal because of the size. The staff was good. Although they may not offer everything that everyone else has, the people there genuinely show they care. My wife enjoyed the food. Periodically, I take her there for a couple of hours so she gets familiar with the place. When I was there, I saw the staff walking my wife around and that was special to me.

Marian Manor of Stafford is where we have my mother-in-law now. We are very pleased with it. She has dementia, she’s Japanese, she's 87, and she’s a difficult placement. After about the first day or two, she had some big adapting to do, but after that, she settled right in. She’s quite happy. She’s made a little circle of friends, and she’s happy as a lark. It’s everything that we could not provide for her at home. The place is a little bit older, so it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles like some of the new ones. The care that she gets is fabulous. It’s just a small amount of people -- 39 or less -- and they all socialize with each other. They do everything together so they don’t have an opportunity to get lonely. It was a good fit because the place was cozy and quaint, with hummingbird feeders outside. The surroundings are kind of off into the forest area. It was more like home. When we placed her, they asked us what food she preferred. They went out of their way to accommodate her. The meals look awesome -- much better than where she was before -- and she’s happy to eat them. She loves the food, and she’s eating more regularly. The cook is from the Philippines, and in the afternoon, she makes my mother-in-law’s favorite green tea in a pot so she can have afternoon tea. That’s something that she’s done all her life, so it’s been really good.

The people at Marian Manor of Stafford seemed to be very happy. There was a dog there that was a nice feature. It was a nice facility. The staff was very accommodating. The nurse was showing us around, and she was very knowledgeable.

My mother has been a resident of this facility for more than a year. As many others have stated, the care is exceptional and personal. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the staff and the facility. Thank you for taking care of my mother in such a loving, caring and professional way.

Mom has been in Marian Manor of Stafford for over two months, and I'm very pleased with the treatment she is receiving now. It is less expensive, and a lot of people live there. There's a chapel, and mom is Catholic. I very much like the staff because they are very personable and kind to all of the patients, and I like the interaction that they have together. There are nurses instead of just med techs. The place is clean and presentable but not fancy; they put the emphasis on the health of their people. They have a TV in their community room and Mom has her own recliner chair. I know she is being well cared for in this place.

My father is in Marian Manor, and everything seems fine so far. I haven't had any problems with them. My father shared a room with the guy; a couple of beds, and a couple of dressers. It’s nice-enough, clean, and spacious. The food seems okay. He hasn’t complained. I don’t have any complaints at all so far, either.

My dad died there after 5 years of care. I can not say enough about these people or Marian Manor. They gave so much love and care to my dad, that I can not even describe how good the care was. I know dad was often a pain in the behind, but not once did the staff ever describe him as anything but wonderful. I know this place is not the newest in town or have high rise Hilton affect, but what it lacks in bells and whistles, it makes up for in care. I am grateful to them for loving dad, looking after him and making sure his last days were comfortable. Thank you again.

My father-in-law is at Marian Manor. They are taking very good care of him. We are very pleased with their level of service and caring. They're exceptionally professional, very caring, and understanding. For my father-in-law's condition and how we were used to seeing him, physically he looks a whole lot better. They're capable of taking care of both the highs and the lows that a person has. The facility is not the newest and brightest, but they're very highly focused on the residents. I'm impressed with their understanding. They have answered every question that we have had and every concern that we have had regarding my father-in-law's care. They haven't done anything to give us concern, but when we've come up with a question of what if or how do we do certain things, they have given us tremendous guidance.
