Jamieson Nursing Home

I can't thank the employees of Jamieson Nursing Home for the help they gave me. They made my stay feel like home and helped me recuperate from surgery.

I have been to this facility many times, as my grandmother has lived her for just about a year now. The first time that I had visited this facility was because my parents and I were looking around at different places in order to find the one that was best suited for my grandmother to live at. The reason that we chose Jamieson Nursing Home was first and foremost because of the staff that worked there. They helped us to feel very comfortable and they were actually sincere about their loving to take care of people who are in need of them. The staff members wanted us to stay as long as we could in order to get the idea of what exactly goes on there and about all of their amenities that they offered. Although this facility is a nursing home, we soon came to realize that they had much more to offer than the majority of nursing homes that we had seen that day. The facility offers an extensive amount of choices for meals for the patients and allows the families/friends to bring in food for the patient or allows them to be able to cook a meal there too, if they would like to. This, they said, was to make them feel more independent and like they were at home. Also, all of the rooms are single occupancy and the residents are allowed to make their rooms to their liking. They are allowed to bring furniture, pictures and anything else that they would like to in order to feel comfortable. This was much different from every other home we had looked at because all of the others you had to just accept what the room looked like and they were very sterile and cold feeling. The other amenities offered include: game night (bingo, boardgames, etc.), televisions in every room, stereos, workout equipment (along with aerobics classes offered on most days), pool, day room with plants, fish tank and many other great options . Even on some days, the facility brings in beauticians in order for the residents to get their hair done if they would like to. The residents that I talked to seemed to be honest about their really liking to live there and feeling like they are still somewhat independent in their day to day activities. Although the residents are allowed to take care of themselves, the staff is still capable of taking care of patients who are not able to care for themselves. After my grandmother had moved in and stayed for a while, I decided to go and visit her to make sure that everything was okay and that the staff was treating her well. When I talked to her, she said that she absolutely loved it there and that everyone was so kind. She had made many great friends who allowed her to stay busy during the day.I would highly recommend anyone who is looking to place a relative or friend in a nursing home to visit Jamieson Nursing Home because they offer many great amenities and great staff! Thank you for letting me share my experience with this facility!
