ReviewerFC101622A 2022-10-21 The staff at Russell Residence was very friendly. We spoke with the owner. She was very passionate about running a good home there. There was a lot of effort that was put in to ensure that it was comfortable for the residents. I think they had probably more room available for private rooms versus doubling up. There were renovations that they had started. The residents seemed to be pleased with the rooms that they were in, especially the private ones. What I didn't like was it was on two levels with stairs. They had one of those chair lifts in place, but I still didn't like that. It kind of gave me an impression that sometimes folks weren't able to totally interact with each other because of those that may have difficulty climbing stairs or whatever. It's not against the owner. It's just the way the house was designed. The owner was very pleasant. She followed up, and she was very accommodating and informative. I didn't have much interaction with the staff, other than just passing them. I visited this facility

Karen 2022-09-05 We chose Russell Residence for respite care. The staff was definitely genuine and caring, and made a connection with my mother while we were there. We did appreciate that definitely. It's nice. It's someplace that Mom could enjoy if I have to do something or if I have to go away. That's definitely a peace of mind for me while enjoying my vacation. You felt welcome right from the front door from the staff member who opened the door for us. She definitely was welcoming and very professional. They were in the process of doing some upgrades. They have an outside seating area and a recreational area in the back. They're actually in the process of putting in a pool, but Mom's not going to be there long enough for that. They definitely had a lot of things that they do daily. I visited this facility

Robin 2022-08-05 I went to Russell Residence. It had a lot of rooms. I thought it was laid out nice. It was a nice place from what I could see. The rooms don't have any kitchenettes or anything like that. They cook for them. The facility had just one kitchen. There are staff members staying there all the time. I met two of the staff and they seemed very pleasant and very nice. They do some exercises with everybody. They have a pool in the back, but it's not workable right now. Suzy (the owner) is working on that to get that going for some therapy in the pool. She was very informative. She gave me the list of food that they serve people to give me an idea of what they do for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. She was a very nice lady. They have their own podiatrist that comes in that checks their feet and will cut their nails and stuff like that. I think they also have a physician that comes to the house that will do different things, so that's very convenient. I didn't look outside that much, but there was a little patio on the left-hand side. The place looked very clean. I visited this facility

Millie 2022-08-03 I toured Russell Residence. The dining area was a just dining room with chairs around it. The facility could use a little bit more cleanliness. The furniture that the residents would sit in was kind of very worn and not the cleanest. The community was great. It felt like you were driving up to a home in a community. It didn't have a facility look, so that was good about it. But at the same time, it wasn't the cleanliness that I expect it. I didn't put my mom there because it wasn't a place where I wanted my mom to be. I was greeted by someone who was not happy that I showed up early. They called the woman who I was supposed to meet with, and the woman came and met with me. She was nice, the woman who gave me the tour. But it's like the people there were almost told not to answer any questions. The staff needs improvement. If you work in a facility like this, you should enjoy what you're doing.

Betty 2022-02-19 Russell Residence is nice and has a home setting. It's close to my home and is in a residential neighborhood. My aunt seems to like it, so far. She's not with a lot of other patients, it is a nice size, and the number of patients they have here is good. They take care of the patients better because they have more one-on-one time with them. She just had a stroke so she's paralyzed and now in their assisted living. The staff is nice, friendly, hands-on, and informative. Right now, her doctor has her on a liquid diet, so her food had to be pureed. It's a home setting so it's just like you're in your own home. It doesn't make you feel like you are in a facility. We know they have an indoor pool for therapy, but they're not using it now because of COVID. When I say it's a residential community, it's not a residential senior community but a home that's within a residential area where people don't need assistance. She hasn't done any activity because she just got there but they do have activities. I know they have games and movie nights. I wish it was a little cheaper but I can't put a price on what they do. The facility looks nice and clean. The landscaping and everything look nice. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Lorraine 2022-01-30 My husband approved of the Russell Residence facility. It was just the distance that was a problem for him; everything else was good. He was impressed with the facility. They cover both assisted living and memory care. They told me they were a level three so I believe they can handle all levels. Overall, I would rate them based on the information, cleanliness, professionalism, care, and all of the things that we learned. From my visit, I saw attentiveness and good construction. They had a nice outdoor seating area, they had a physical ramp for people who have disabilities with walking, and they have ample parking. They have good spaced rooms with good bedding, from what I saw. I visited this facility

Andrew 2021-09-15 I went to Russell Residence. It was very nice. I liked it because it was not crowded, and it was clean. The person who was giving the tour was very helpful and knowledgeable. The physical appearance was nice and clean. They did have a TV area. They had a nice patio area, and it was very attractive. I visited this facility

Wendy W 2021-07-23 My mother was a resident here for several years, and we were very pleased with the quality of care and services. The facility was always cleaned and fresh smelling. The charge was comparable to other senior care facilities in the area. I highly recommend this business. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

5 5 1

Phillip 2021-07-15 We moved my mother to Russell Residence which is a highly recommended place. The nursing staff is very professional and caring, and the ratio of nurses to a patient is higher than most facilities being 1:4 or higher. They customize the care for the patients' needs like if the patient needs to be turned in every 30 minutes they do that. You don't see that in a lot of the facilities. It's very clean, very much updated, and the rooms almost look like the residents are in a home and not a hospital environment. There are pictures and flowers so the residents feel more at home than at a facility while providing a high level of care. I like the way they prepare the meals; I saw how the food was given to my mother and I got the chance to feed her. She needs a special diet and they did very well in terms of that. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Fran25 2016-02-23 The people at The Russell Residence are very caring. It's a private home setting, and everyone there treats my mother like she's one of the family. They're very welcoming. You can visit any time. She's very happy there. They've only been open for six months, so they will eventually have a room for physical therapy and speech therapy. They have exercises and an outdoor and an indoor pool that they'll be using for aqua therapy. It's top notch. I didn't know I could find any place like that; it's just like home. I like the atmosphere and the care, and my mom has gotten much more engaged in even just everyday conversation. She loves it. She has dementia but said it's so clean and quiet, everyone is so wonderful, and the food is delicious. Some residents can do less than she can handle and some can do more, so they tailor activities for the people based on what they're capable of. She's still ambulatory, and they make sure she walks with a walker. I visited this facility

Provider Response

Thank you for your feedback and kind words. I am very passionate about Russell Residence and consider it my “Love”. I am very blessed with a compassionate and attentive staff. Sometimes the 6 steps and chairlift are a turn off for some. We are lucky to have 2 bedrooms on the main level for those that cannot bear pressure on their legs. For the residents that can bear pressure, staff ensure a safe transfer from each level. Our residents interact with one another daily and for those that are bed ridden, staff provide activities and services In their rooms. We also have a 2nd location that is on one level. I am happy that you had a positive tour experience, as we work to improve in every way. I am often doing an upgrade so I am not certain what project I was working on. If it was the bathroom, please return to see how beautiful our roll-in showers and fully renovated bathrooms look. Thank you again for taking the time your review.

Thank you for your feedback. Residents are never told to not answer questions. On every tour, I introduce residents to visitors, as I’m sure you experienced. Our staff work very hard providing high quality care to the residents. I apologize for the lack of friendliness you felt. I wish you the best with your new facility. I will make adjustments as suggested.

Thank you Mrs. L for your kind words. Your aunt is very sweet and we look forward to getting to know her. I’m happy that she already remembers my name! The staff will bring fun and simulating activities to her room. Thank you for trusting us with her care.
