"It is a home in Lakewood. It is an older home. They put their money into having great caregivers. It's not fancy. The care was outstanding. There are ramps for wheelchairs and walkers. There are two patients to a room. Most were bedridden. All of the meals are freshly cooked for whatever the patients want. When my mom first arrived there I would sample bites of her food. I liked it. If she didn't like it, they would make her something else. Every bedroom has a med size screen TV. The comment about the caregivers sitting on couch is dumb, where else are they going to sit? They do not stand over the patients and stare at them until they need to eat or have a diaper change or be bathed or be helped to the restroom if they are ambulatory. It never smelt of stale urine. Of course there will be odor when a diaper of feces is changed. When she could still get up, they helped with her exercises. Caregivers are allowed to have breaks just like any other workplace. Most of staff are continuing their education to be RN's. My mother loved her caregivers there. My mother had a lot more personal contact there than my mother in law does in the $7,000.+ place in Culver City."
