Burgin Manor

They were great at Burgin Manor of Olyney. Everybody was wonderful. They were very informative and very helpful. They took my dad to the gym every day. The physical therapy person was good. His room had a nice size. Everything was great.

From what I saw, Burgin Manor looks alright. It is a very clean place, the staff is very knowledgeable in what they are doing, and they seem very nice and willing to help. It is just not something that I personally would have done for my mother at this time, but my sister and my brother thought that it was the right place for her. I just didn’t think she was far enough into the Alzheimer's to think that she needed to be put somewhere else right now other than with a family member. I do know that they have Bingo there, and she is playing Bingo. She is in a room with another lady, and I didn't care for that at all. For those who are seeking it and want to put their parents in somewhere, this would be a nice facility. Maybe they can improve a bit in terms of allowing other family members to be able to talk to the residents more and be able to maybe take them out for lunch or things like that.

I visited this facility on many different occasions, to deliver flowers to the residents. The outside of the building is very well up-kept. I was always greeted by a staff member at the front desk who would assist me in finding the resident I had flowers for. The facility was always clean, and had a nice relaxing atmosphere to it. The residents always seemed happy and well taken care of. From what I saw, the staff was very quick to respond to residents needs, as well as just chatting with residents. The staff always asked residents how they were doing, if they needed anything, and listened to them intently. Every time I went the cafeteria was clean, with a few residents eating or socializing in it. There is a large room near the entry way that has a wonderful feel to it. There is a large bird cage with many different birds flying around. Potted plants and decorations give the room a very relaxing feel. Many of the residents would be seated in the room, watching the birds and sometimes talking to one another. A staff member was always in sight or around the corner, and would come if needed. The residents rooms that I saw were always clean, with a few gifts or crafts, but not too much clutter. Overall I think this is a great nursing-home. The staff members seem to really care about the residents, and from what I've seen always treat them very nicely.

Staff and administrators at Burgin Manor are genuinely caring and show compassion for their residents. My experience with this facility has been very positive, and I know my friend feels the same about his choice of home. Staff strive to empower the individuals that live at the facility and do their best to make there lives as normal as possible. Independence of residents is facilitated by staff and administrators, and they honestly want to provide the best life possible for residents.
