Martha T Berry Medical Care Facility

My Mom was at this facility (Martha T Berry) from December 2020 to August 2024. She was in poor physical health and suffering from dementia when she arrived. MTB was successful in bringing her back to physical health and then did a tremendous job supporting her as her dementia symptoms progressed. The staff was caring and supportive. The facility was well maintained and there's a nice courtyard that has flowers, plants and a gazebo. If we had to make a decision again on where to have our Mom live while dealing with her disease, we'd choose MTB.

My mom stayed at Martha T Berry Medical Care Facility. They helped her with everything from that point she had lost continence. She was immobile. So, they helped her out with all the activities of daily living. The staff are going the extra mile. They're putting up with all the stuff they need to do. They were fantastic. The room was a semi-private room. There are two people in it with three-quarters of a wall. It was kind of private and it was clean. Everything was nice but there's not a lot of fluff there. It's really basic. The food was good. There are activities every day. There are puzzles. Games are going on. There's a staff that engages with people every day. They have movies, bingo, and there's church. It was about $12,000 a month but there's a lot of care inside of that. It's also a Medicaid facility with the same rooms and services as a Medicaid facility as a private. Everything was good, from a price standpoint you got a lot. It was great.

Poor rooms, no hot water 2172. Staff is rude and uncaring. They lie to you.

My dad was at MTB for a couple of months before he passed away this week. I can’t say enough about the care he received . He was always clean , his clothes were changed, his bed was clean and he was always tucked in, and warm. Everyone was so caring and kind to my dad and us. They always updated us on any changes. Rhonda was always there for my shoulder to cry on, she was so comforting . My dad was in hospice his last couple of weeks and they made sure he was comfortable . I highly recommend MTB.

The level of care that my mom is receiving at Martha T Berry Medical Care Facility is what we were needing for her. There have been many improvements to the facility over the last several years and it is welcoming. The actual care team is very caring and concerned with her well-being. It's beautiful and they have a couple of internal courtyards where the trees are starting to bloom. The grounds are kept well, too. She is in a shared room, but there is a wall dividing the two rooms. It's not just a curtain. There is an actual wall that divides them and then there's a curtain that closes off each side of the room. Each room has a window, which I think is important, too. It's like having their own space. If she presses her call button, not only does the light go on the wall, but it also goes outside in the hallway. Then it notifies the staff via their cell phones that she needs care. So, if they happen to be in another part of the floor where they can't physically see her light, the staff are still notified. The food is very good. They usually do lunch in the dining room and then breakfast and dinner are usually served in their rooms. They have other options besides what is just being served, so they could order off of the menu. They had a piano player that came in and a juggler the other day. They have movies in their big auditorium room and in case they don't want to go down, it's offered on their TVs as well. They have different craft activities, a Keno game, and several things highlighted throughout the day on their activity calendars. Another nice thing is if she needs help, it doesn't matter who it is (whether it's the activities people, physical therapy, people or occupational therapy, the nurses or the aides), they all support one another and they help. So, if she's getting ready to go to therapy and she needs to use the restroom, the therapy person or the activities person would help her to go to the bathroom. They all seem to work well as a team.

My grandmother was a resident here for many years. A very healthy 100 years old. During the COVID-19 lockdown, the managed to lose 25 pounds in 6 weeks. She had no use of her hands, so she was unable to feed herself, and the staff obviously wasn't assisting her with food and water. Before lockdown, family was there twice every day to assist her with her meals. She died of nutrition and hydration deficiency and MTB was cited for it. I spent a lot of time at MTB the last week of her life (they let you in during COVID to watch your loved one die, but we weren't allowed in to feed her) and the staff was sitting around doing nothing. Do your research with the state before letting a loved one here. And they will block you on social media if you say anything negative or call them out on their inaccurate posts.
