John Knox Manor Inc #2

I had my dad at John Knox Manor for a while. The facility was fine. I didn’t have any real problems with them. Compared to the other ones I saw, they were one of the better ones, but I think they do need to work on their weekend shift because it's not very organized. We had a few minor issues with regards to follow up care, dietary matters, and response time. Their regular staff are good, though. The rooms were fine, but they are not as modern as some of the others I saw. The rooms are two rooms with an adjoining bathroom, so it's not a private bathroom. All in all, it wasn’t as crowded as some of the others. My father has beginning dementia, and so his activities are more limited. I will say that the lady that handles the physical activity is very good. She was one of the best things there because she worked with him every day and was willing to sit down and talk about what she saw and what we could do at home; that was excellent, but they just need to upgrade the quality of their food.

The care with which my grandmother resident at John Knox Manor receives is exceptional. After losing mobility from the result of a stroke, she was placed in the staff's loving hands. The facilities, although an older building, have been restored extensively putting my grandma in excellent conditions. Her room is very decent and even includes her own personal bathroom and kitchen. There are always activities for her to do, which she thoroughly enjoys. A nurse goes to her room about once a day just to check up on her and her physical therapist is in house. Even the food, which is served twice daily, is actually quite delicious. The grounds of John Knox include multiple walking paths as well as a gazebo and several porches outfitted with rocking chairs. Many birdfeeders also adorn the grounds, which allows for a variety of birds, something that made my grandmother's transition a little bit easier. Overall, John Knox Manor is a caring facility that places the utmost importance on its residents. I would highly recommend John Knox to any senior needing a helping hand.
