La Verna Village Nursing Home

This retirement community was mediocre. I have seen many facilities that are much nicer when it comes to aesthetics and design, but it was very old and in need of a cosmetic face-lift. The facility itself is not for active seniors, it is more equipped for sedentary or minimally active seniors. (In other words, there isn't anything to do for the seniors who are still alive and kicking.) They have the usual television set with movies, board games, cards, and bingo nights. The seniors capable of walking are allowed to visit other residents as long as it is before "Lights out". The staff were courteous and kind for the most part, but being I was only there for a day, I only saw the nurses on that particular shift. Overall this nursing home is a dreary place with the nurses being the factor that makes or breaks the environment overall.The bottom line: This home gets a 3/5.The good: Nurses, support system, easy access for pick up and drop off, secure location.The bad: Not for very active seniors due to lack of entertainment, on older facility with a dismal appearance, and a curfew.
