Pear Tree Manor

My brother was at Pear Tree Manor. We liked it. The people who work there are nice. It wasn't like an A-plus facility, but it was very, very nice. He enjoyed it there. And the owner and the people who work there were both exceptionally nice to my brother and me. The staff was excellent. It's a converted home. It was clean. It wasn't at the top line but it was very, very serviceable. We didn't see any bugs, vermin, or anything of that sort. They said they have tours and things of that sort, but most of the residents were pretty sedentary and they didn't go anywhere that I could see, though. The director told me that sometimes they go on trips to Atlantic City. They go to some museums in Baltimore on occasion. And I think locally, they go to farmers' markets and things of that sort. Most of the residents were not very mobile. The atmosphere was very friendly. The staff were caring. They're there 24 hours a day. They have a nurse supervisor who comes in to check the patients. They have some physical therapist who comes there to see some of the patients. A lot of the patients are vets, so they provide transportation to the local Veterans Administration hospital for the residents.

My relative is in Pear Tree Manor right now, and he seems to like it. Our experience has been great, and he's adapting. The apartments are shared rooms, and it's working out OK. There really isn't much activity. There's only one woman who runs it, but she does the best she can with keeping them occupied.
