Compere's Nursing Home

Jeannie

My mom will be moving into Compere's Nursing Home. The appearance was very nice. It was in downtown Jackson, and I did not feel insecure at all in the area. It was a nice facility, and it was not brand new. When you go in, you didn't have patients sitting in the hallway. It was just nice, clean, and very organized. It was a small facility. Their staff, Danielle, was the young lady that helped us. She was very knowledgeable and very helpful. She knew her information on Medicare and knew the process that we were about to go through. She was just very thorough in giving us any information we needed. She was very polite and very professional. Several of the residents brought their sombrero hats and Mexican looking hats. My uncle and I asked if they were they having some kind of event. The staff said she thought lunch was going to be Mexican, and they were preparing for that. We went back into the area where the dining room was. Several people were sitting around tables with their hats on. I think one table had some people doing a puzzle. The yard was mowed and well-kept. The flower beds were nice. The parking was right there at the building. It was not a very big facility. They had a total of 60 beds. Out of those 60, there are five private rooms.

Compere's is, for the most part, a very caring, loving place to put your female loved one. My problem with them (or any other care-giving facility) is that they are all too quick to pump the patient full of drugs and keep them doped up rather than find ut what the underlying problem is. I have yet to find a facility that will do that. Their food was excellent, their people were very compassionate and they were very willing to work with us. Of course, we were only there for 3 weeks before Mom got Healthcare acquired pneumonia and passed away.
