I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My mom is at Woodcrest of Decatur in Indiana. Right now, I'm not really happy with them because they keep raising their rent. With this Covid, they don't want any social gathering and I understand that. Their noon meal, which is included in the rent, has always included a salad or a soup, an entree, meat, two sides, and a dessert. Now that they're not eating in the dining room, they're bringing the meals to the residents, so they don't have to worry about any Covid transferring. However, the residents aren't always getting the salad and the soup anymore, sometimes they don't even get fruit. They've cut their meals down, but they still raised the rent. I think if they take something away, they should not raise the rent. For the last couple of years, there was a big crack at one of the entrances, not the main entrance, but an entrance where you can go to get in to the different garden wings. My daughter and I always thought of that as an accident waiting to happen with that chunk of concrete out of it. I want to be sure that the facility I will pick for myself does not look like that, that they take care of it, and we have reported this. I just don't want a place that looks like an accident could happen there. My mom has her Christmas decorations still sitting there by her door. They have what they called cages down in the basement, and there are wood frames separating each person's cage. There's a padlock, so you can't go in anybody else's and no one can go in to yours. We've always been able to go down and get my mom's spring decorations or Christmas decorations, just anything she wanted out of there. I understand they wouldn't want the residents to go down there by themselves, but they won't also let my mom go down even with one of us. She has to wait until one of the two activity directors has time to take her stuff down there and get it out of her way in her apartment. I don't understand why we can't go down there when everybody's stuff is locked up. So, her decor sits in her apartment waiting to be taken down to her cage. We tried to ask them about this already. They're taking too many things from her. Her refrigerator quit and they had to replace it. It's replaced with a refrigerator on the bottom and the drawers and the shelves on top. My mom is officially blind and it's harder for her age to get down to the bottom part, but she won't let them know. The food is always good. We used to be able to go down and pay for our meals and enjoy it with our parents. They used to have more activities for everybody, but now the only thing they have is the hallway Bingo.

I visited this facility

My mother laid in her bed with pneumonia for 2 weeks untreated before I had to threaten to go to the director of nursing unless something was done,finally they ordered an x-ray but not until I threatened again. Now she is in ICU at the hospital and the doctor said the she most likely will not pull through.

My mother has a niece at Woodcrest Evergreen Court Apartments, and we have visited her there. They have one-bedroom apartments and studio apartments. They have bingo, tea for their residents, card parties, and different activities throughout the week. It is connected with the Adams Memorial Hospital also. They are very good staff. My mom's niece said the food is good, and she is quite comfortable there. The building is very clean but older. They have activities for the residents. My cousins had a birthday party for her there and you could use the facilities. It was very nice. They have a therapy room, which is nice, well-appointed, and has good facilities.

My mother has been doing very well at Woodcrest Nursing Center. Her room is a double occupancy, but at the moment she does not have a roommate. They are not large, but adequate for her needs and very comfortable for her. She likes the food there. She goes to their cafe and can order off of a menu. If they have something she doesn't like, she can order something else instead. We have been very pleased with the care she's getting. If there's ever any problem as far as a skin break or anything, they are always quick to call me and let me know. She's getting excellent care. She gets her nails done on Thursdays, has bingo on Wednesdays, popcorn and movie times, bus trips out to eat, bible studies and church services there, and games in the evening that the residents can participate in. They have a lot of activities for them to do. They're going to be doing some remodeling. It was built in 1994, so it's in need of some renovations, and they will be starting in late August or early September. If they get those some improvements made, it will enhance the facility.

My mother is in Woodcrest, and the ones that took care of her were very kind. The food was clean, and her room was always clean. My mother and her roommate were happy. I would recommend it. The activities were wonderful; they did everything from church services to crafts, to mother’s day teas and thanksgiving desserts. They brought kids in from the school, and they even had my mom reading books to little kids and having the little kids read books back to my mother.

I am a friend or relative of a resident

My grandfather was a resident at Woodcrest for nearly two years. During that time he experienced diabetic complications and had both legs amputated. After each operation he returned to undergo rehabilitation at the facility. He loved the staff and made friends with other residents. I always found the facility to be clean and cheerful. Several times I volunteered to work bingo games during afternoon activity period. The social director was very dedicated and I believe worked very hard to provide interesting activities. Overall, I believe my grandfather received excellent care and medical treatment. When he was in his last days, the staff was very understanding of our feelings and allowed us leeway in visitations.
