I've moved my brother into Mother of Good Counsel Home. This place is 20 minutes from my house. They can handle his trachea and they had a bed. He's reasonably stable, but he's critically ill. I had to get him someplace that was comfortable with the trachea and ideally as convenient as possible to family, so he's within 20 minutes of myself and my sisters. I've had other family members in there. I didn't initially look at this because it wasn't as convenient as I was hoping. I saw it on the web, and that's when I spoke with the gentleman. I knew Good Counsel from past experience and they had been very good. I was comfortable with it and when they said they could take him, I went with it. Their care has been excellent. Considering I spent most of the last 48 hours there, I would say the staff is excellent. I've been very pleased with everything, from the cleaning crew to nurses, to the admissions people. They've been excellent. He has a tracheotomy, so his diet is a lot of pudding and ice cream and almost like baby food. He's got a good appetite. He's swallowing things like cottage cheese, peaches, and a lot of soup. Last night, he had some ground beef pretty well ground with some gravy on it. Considering the limited things he can handle, it's been good. They've adjusted the diet very well to his needs. They have him in a hall with elderly two married couples, and they've both been in to visit and they're very social. They were telling me last night that there's a casino afternoon coming up. There's a sitting room outside of his room and last night I wheeled him out there. Even though he can't speak, six other gentlemen gathered around a table and they wanted to know if he'd want to join them in card games. They like to play cards and he's not really at that level yet. They've got a fairly good amount of activity. They were telling me for the 4th of July, they sit in a pretty high spot, and from the third floor where he is, they could watch all the fireworks activities downtown at the arch from their windows. It seems good. They adjust the activities to the patient. Value for money is excellent because his insurance is not going to cost him much of anything.

My mom is in Mother of Good Counsel Home. It is very clean and very responsive to concerns, it has got a faith-filled atmosphere, the food is good, and they have some incredible staff. I have been to some of their activities and heard about the others, and they are good, but if you are hearing or vision impaired, they don’t really address that.
