Fifth Avenue Health Care

Judi

I am very well pleased with Fifth Avenue Health Care, and with everybody. They all seem to go out of their way to help you and make you comfortable. If you need anything (I'm on three liters of oxygen), all I have to do is say, "I'm out of oxygen," and they come running. I was just really, really weak when I got here. I could not even get on a bed by myself. Now I can get on my bed and off to my wheelchair. The people giving me therapy are wonderful. The dietitian is also wonderful. She comes in and asks me if I feel like I can eat. Everybody is just really helpful and caring. I cannot say enough for this facility, because it is a wonderful place. They serve us very good food three times a day. Of course, everybody's taste is different, but from end of January until the end of February all I could eat was mashed potatoes. Then I got to where I could eat oatmeal. We all congregate in the dining room. They even feed some patients in their bed, to where everybody feels a part of the community here. Of course the weather has not been to where I can go outside yet or anything, but they have bingo on Monday mornings usually, and they have devotions, musical groups come in, and different entertainers come in from Cartersville. They came in for Valentine's Day. They provide entertainment that keeps people satisfied and happy. If I don't feel like coming to the dining room or if I'm tired, they come get me and they push me. I'm just so thankful because the nurses and everybody are really caring here. This place is clean and I'm a clean freak. Everybody works together trying to help the patients. They're always attentive and take care of us. I'm really pleased with them. Whenever you press the emergency light, they are here.
