I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

The overall experience was very poor and I would not send a relative to this home. Mt. Oliver was extremely understaffed. Their staff did not know how to provide water or medication to my father when he was incoherent. He would ring for help and be left for hours without getting the attention he needed. They were generally friendly, but that is not enough. His room was very dirty all the time. His air conditioner wasn’t working and no one ever noticed. I had to make several requests before it was fixed. The food quality was poor. When he died they gave me 24 hours to remove all of his belongings. How is a relative supposed to do that while they’re still processing a family members death. Please don’t use this facility.

My mom is living in Mount Olivet Home. They've been incredible. I haven't been able to see her unfortunately because of the stuff going on, but I've spoken with everybody, and the interaction with the staff has been incredible. It has made me feel much more comfortable during the video conference that we had with my mom. It showed us that she's actually in a pretty good place. The meals are pretty standard, they send me a menu of what she'll be receiving, and they allow me to give input as well, so that's good. She was able to get her own room, and it's actually pretty nice, I'm impressed with it. They went out of their way to get her a room with a window that gets sun, so she can feel the sun, and that makes a big difference.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

They are only getting two stars for the like two decent staff members. Where do I begin? I guess by wondering what their "5 Stars" were given for? I was so disappointed by my mother's care at Mount Olivet Home that I just took her out of there to be her caregiver myself. I was there to visit every day while my Mom was in transitional care, assisted living, and then back to transitional care, and never once saw five star care. EVERY time I went, there was always a bell ringing for someone who needed help ... and staff would just sit and chat and ignore it. The food was cold and coagulated nearly every meal. Patients would sit for hours waiting to be taken back to their rooms. My mom was supposed to be given a weekly shower (once a week?!), and it would often go past two. I gave my Mom her shower myself the last four times she had a shower there before I took her out, as they always said they didn't have anyone available to assist her with it. BASIC hygiene. Awful. My mom had terrible diarrhea from her medications, and then I saw that they were still giving her a stool softener! I went to the store and got her Pepto Bismol for relief, as her nurse said, "I can't promise I'll be right back" - to a person without a leg, at great fall risk, dying to get to the bathroom. So I went to get it, only to have them confiscate it, as they only want things used that they can charge you for. The going to the bathroom thing was what resulted in my mother's broken shoulder. She waited so long for someone to assist her that she tried to go herself, fell and broke her shoulder. She laid there on the floor for FOUR HOURS waiting for the overnight help to come to her aid. Mount Olivet sent her ALONE in an ambulance to the ER in the middle of the night (because they couldn't find the Xray machine, or it wasn't working - also not good), never telling me, who is only in town to help my mom. The break did not require surgery, thankfully - that is, until a MOH staff member helping my mother get dressed yanked her arm straight up through her sleeve, breaking it further, so badly that they said without surgery she could LOSE her arm! After already losing her leg based on her care at another facility, we of course opted for the surgery. While my mom was lying there in recovery, the MOH business office was calling her and stressing her out about their payments ... as she was in the hospital recovering from a surgery that was required because their own staff injured her so badly! THEY should be paying HER. And I intend to make sure that they do. That's the really bad stuff ... but all the little things add up too. Nearly all of the staff are ESL, and almost none of the patients/residents can understand a thing they say - a problem when talking about health issues. They talk to the residents like they're little kids, and have assigned seating, so people can't even sit with their friends at meals. It's just no way to live out your remaining, hopefully golden, years. Once back from surgery, but still requiring "skilled nursing" for her incision, etc ... they stuck my mom on the 4th floor, that you apparently go to die on. In a tiny room separated by a curtain where she could here everyone moaning all night and never got a good rest I took one look at my mom sitting in that dining room next to people spitting up their food on themselves (and staff leaving it to drip down their chins) and unable to converse with her, a still vibrant, chatty, friendly, great lady ... and that was that. We got her out of there as soon as we could, and I would suggest doing the same for your loved ones ... or never admit them there in the first place. A family friend owns a hospice, and when I told him my mother was at Mount Olivet, he winced, and said, "Oh, no. They're not good." I soon found out he was right, and now we're dealing with paying them for the pleasure. I asked Mom if she was happier now, and she started crying with relief. SO MUCH HAPPIER - which is how she should be after all she's been through. She misses nothing but a few of her friends she made, and she actually felt terrible to leave them behind in there, and they were SO jealous. It wasn't my plan at all to leave the west coast and be my mother's full time caregiver, but I couldn't live with myself leaving her in there. And I hope this saves you from some of the same regrets. Elder care is a huge issue in our country, and you find in places like this that it really is just about their bottom line. Money. I thank the staff that were the reason I gave the two stars here ... but they are rare. You can do better by your family, and I hope society starts valuing our elders the way we should, because places like these are not going to give them the grand finale they so richly deserve. Not even close.

I visited this facility

We were very impressed with Mount Olivet Careview Home. They didn't have apartments, but they had assisted living and nursing homes. They're remodeling and they're going to build three floors of a tower where they will have more private rooms. Right now, they only have six private rooms. The meals were prepared in the kitchen. They're brought up on a steam table and not served in a tray. The patients were taken out of their rooms and brought to a table to eat on the floor that we were on. They had a certain floor with all memory care, so you wouldn't hear all of the screaming and yelling or people wandering and getting lost. They had a lot of activities, sometimes two or three things in a day.

I visited this facility

I stopped in for information and was able to get a short tour which I felt was kind and accommodating.I felt the main entry/greeting was backlogged with attention going to staff/social and not clients/family. There seemed to be no back-up to the reception person and everything is funneled to this desk. It is sad when the highlight of my visit was the cheery volunteer in the gift shoppe. I visited the memory floor and was looking for the 5 star rating. It was 2:30 p.m. and the main activity area was still closed and blocked by the food steamers. Staff (3) were clustered around the desk with one resident. I believe this was a mid-day rest time but there were (4) clients sitting in an alcove with no interaction from staff during the visit. I recognize that residents need their private time but it felt a little isolated as they were at the far end of the hall.The private room shown was VERY small but it was a private room. It was reported that there is a secured facility for memory loss people outside. I know environment is not everything but the entire facility felt very glum.

I'm very pleased with Mount Olivet Careview Home. My husband is there right now. The facility is very clean and there's no odor what so ever. It is in the metropolitan area too. The environment is warm and friendly. The care is excellent. I'm there a lot so I see how the nurses treat everybody. They're very caring. They do have a lot of activities there. They have field trips for their patients. My husband is very content in this nursing home and he doesn't complain when I leave.

The nursing staff is awful. Residents are left to sit in wheelchairs all day, their hygiene needs are not taken care of, everything revolves around a nursing desk in the center of the room with the rooms all around it. Everything takes place in this room. Residents are parked in front of the TV or left to wander about. This place should not have good ratings. The staff also lies to cover up their incompetence.

My mom has only been in Mount Olivet Careview Home for a month but so far it has been very good. I have nothing but good things to say about it. I chose this nursing home because it has a good reputation. I knew several people who have been there before and their children have good things to say about this place. The staff members are very attentive to their residents and their needs. They follow through on everything when I have asked them to. Their activities are very good and they have them everyday. Overall, they are taking good care of my mother.

Visited this facility

Mount Olivet Home is a 94-bed independent living facility, the rooms are private and they appeared to be very clean and smelled fresh. The residents I visited were very happy with having a private bathroom and the staff seemed friendly and very accommodating to the seniors. The facility had a secured memory care unit that seemed very safe for those seniors with Alzheimer's or early dementia. The décor is homey and residents are invited to furnish their rooms with their personal possessions which really gave the rooms a very homey feel. The residents I visited were very independent but they needed some help with medications and bathing. The staff seemed very attentive to their needs and responded promptly. Residents are pleased with the fact that they can get vision, hearing, dental and podiatry services onsite without having to leave the grounds. Neighborhood health care centers include; the Walker Methodist and Richfield Health Centers. Hot meals are served daily in the main dining room and family members said that they really enjoyed having meals onsite with residents because it brought back family memories. The facility also offers comfortable family visitation areas and outdoor Patios. Having a nice private spot to sit and visit was much appreciated by residents as well as their families.
