My mom has moved into Azria Health Park Place. The one thing I like about them is I loved how quickly they acted on getting admitted. They worked hard and diligently into keeping in contact with myself, my brother, and the hospital because she was coming from the hospital. I enjoyed the conversations with the people there because you feel like they are not just health care professionals, but it felt like they cared like a family member. They truly hit home with the concerns that I had for my mom. That's what I liked about them. There's nothing that I hate about them, yet, at all. They have just been great.
It's really cute. It's an older place, but they modernized it. They make sure it's up to date, and they have state of the art equipment there. One things that my mother loves about them is their beds. I laid down on it, and I said, "Oh, my goodness." They care so much about the people. Even the bed and the mattresses that they have for these people are top of the line. My mom was in a skilled nursing center after surgery back in January and February, and the beds were horrible because you could tell she was crying. But this nursing home, wow, their beds are wonderful. All modern, and I love it.
They have a salon for their folks. They have lots of activities there. Their calendar is full. I looked at their activity calendar. These people don't play around. There's something going on for their folks each and every day. They're interacting with their people. You never look at the nurses and say, "Oh, I don't want to bother them because they're so busy." They completely smile at you and take the time. I don't believe it's a front; I believe these people are genuine. I just love them. They keep their people busy.
I have seen them with the carts. I know their kitchen is in the basement, so I see the food people going in and out. They have a huge eating area for these people, and I've seen them taking the food in there. I was going out the door. As far as I know, it's pretty good. They give them a lot of different options. So, if something's not to their liking on the menu, they always have another choice. It's so nice. I like that they do that for the people there. They don't just throw that in and say, this is what it is, so here you go.
These places that I toured gave me a lot of hope for my mom. What I'm trying to convey to other people is, no one's saying you're a bad person because you're doing this. There are people out there that really do care and really do help. I just want people to be able to go talk to these places if they need help because they'll help them.

My mother-in-law is at Union Park Health Services. We live out of state, but they are wonderful with calling us at anytime if there are any slight issues, like weight loss or a doctor’s recommendation to add anything. When she was not eating, they brought in a nutritionist to find out her needs and what she liked. She is gaining weight again, and I guess she is doing better. They are short staffed like most nursing homes, but overall, our experience has been good.

This facility is not elegant but it is comfortable and residents have what they need. The staff is friendly and knows its residents very well, giving personal consideration to each one. The food is very good.

We had my brother in law at Union Park Health Services for rehab. The staff seemed to take care of him. I am not happy with the doctor's medication program. Other than that, I have not identified any problems with regards to the facility.
