Mount Carmel Senior Living

Mount Carmel was very depressing and we would consider it. It was very dark and the rooms were teeny tiny and old. It just reminded us of a nursing home 50 years ago. It was also hard to get around, and it was a terrible location to get into from the parking lot. We didn't like anything about it. The person who gave us the tour was very nice.

My experience visiting my dad at Mount Caramel Assisted Living was a positive one. Our entire family was not terribly excited about the prospect of dad staying in an assisted living facility for a number of reasons, namely my dad's pride and stubbornness to accept help from others. However, the staff at Mount Caramel had a great way of helping my dad without stripping him of his dignity. The nurses were always willing to help him to and in the restroom, to and in the cafeteria and with any other assistance he needed without making him feel completely inadequate. His time in the cafeteria mingling with the other residents was the highlight of his time there. The staff had a unique way of creating a caring and family atmosphere among the residents and within a couple days he had developed numerous relationships. I believe those connections made his stay there much more tolerable in light of the pain he was in. I cannot say enough good things about Mount Caramel Assisted Living.
