Community Springs Healthcare Facility

FK

My mother is now in Community Springs. We're very happy with it. First of all, we can't go in because of COVID, although I really appreciated the fact that they allowed us to have garden visits. I don't get to talk to my mother or anything, but we get to have garden visits with her. They have not had anyone ever come down with COVID yet. They did a really good job. If there's anything they have questions about, they'll call me. We have these wellness visits. We do a virtual talk and I can kinda see how she's doing. They have been really good having all of her doctors and nurses get together and discuss her well-being. I have been really happy with them. My mother is in a shared room. They have other options, but she has to pay for all of these out of her own pocket. She just has enough money. We don't know how long she'll be there, so we got to watch our pennies. They send out a newsletter all the time. They have pictures of them like on their Facebook page. They have pictures of different residents doing different activities. They send out a calendar all the time for us to see what they're doing. When I see my mother through the window, she is always nice, clean, and has her hair combed. They have a beauty shop right there. The staff members have all been really friendly. They're always attentive to what you want to know. I have not had any problems with them at all. They just remodeled the facility; it's in pretty good shape. They have this mother-daughter thing. So far, I haven't been able to go to them. They have been hosting them and they still have them for them, but we can't go in.

Friday night ( 5 May 2017) at 6:30 I got a call on my cell phone from a night nurse where my Mom resides at Community Springs and she had noticed some infection on her lower ankle and she was informing me that a doctor needed to look at it - there was one in Boliver which would take an ambulance to take her there and I boo - hooed on that one!! An ambulance ride for my mother would make her hysterical - the nurse assured me that "she would make sure my Mom got to the hospital one block away from the Rest Home I asked her to call me later, which she did. At about 8PM she called me and said she had been looked at and prescribed some antibotics and I need to sign some paperwork, driving to town Eldorado Springs I saw my Mom and a "day time nurse" I had seen before standing with her - Covered with a blanket I wheeled her outside to take her that one block back to the Community Springs. , I found out the nurse's name was "Juanita" and she had came to work at 6 AM - it was 9 PM and she had been there all day - and she had made the decision to take her to the hospital and stay with her since she becomes frightened quite easily! No one else was available and her decision to STAY OVER and help my mother displayed noteworthy leadership. Wheeling her in the front door, she checked with the night time nurse and I sat with my Mom til she was ready to be placed to bed - watching "Juanita" walk down the long hallway at 9:30PM waving and smiling at me, finally going home after a very long day! You cannot say enough about nurse's and their giving attitude! Postscript: I found the hospital on the internet and wrote a very long review on the care and attention with this nurse's sound leadership she displayed helping my mother in her time of need. My mother has been a resident of Community Springs only since January 2017 - and I am impressed with their caring attitude given to my mother and the other residents who live there. Thank you again Juanita -

All of the residents in this facility seemed happy and physically well cared for. They had many activities for them to participate in and friendly staff. The hygiene, however, was lacking. There was a VERY strong smell throughout the facility, and although this is common in nursing homes, this one seemed worse than any before. Several of the floors needed swept and rooms needed dusted. Overall, I felt secure with my family member's being cared for.
