"Warm, caring staff. Quality health care. Not always the cleanest. Food average. "

"My friend sends his wife to the Hebrew Senior Care Senior Day Center about 4 times a week. She has a blast and feels needed. While she is at the center, her husband is able to work and feel a sense of peace knowing his wife is safe and enjoying herself."

"This nursing home is very well staffed and also very clean compared to other nursing homes in the area. They have quite a few Alzheimer's/Dementia patients there and they have a unit that is locked 24 hours for some of these patients who are at risk of wandering. My Dad has been there for 6 months and has been doing extremely well, under the circumstances of his illness. Their Rehab//Physical Therapy unit is fantastic and they have helped my Dad to be able to walk with a walker instead of being in his wheelchair. I would recommend this nursing home to anyone thinking of transitioning their loved one. "

"My mom is in rehab at St Mary Home. The facility is very clean. The people are friendly. If my mom needs assistance, they are always there, so I have no complaints. My mom is in a private room that's right next to another room, but they share the same bathroom. They have a room where they play music, and somebody plays the piano. My mother has physical therapy every day. She has a walker, but she's beginning to walk better. My mom loves the meals. She has insurance, so it was covered."

"I was able to visit Hughes Health & Rehabilitation. There were a couple of reasons why I didn’t want to place my husband there. One was that there wasn't a separate parking lot, so you had to park on the street. I do have a handicapped parking permit tag to be able to park wherever I wanted, so I had to use one of the three spots on the side of the front lawn for handicapped people. I would improve the parking. The facility was a very old building. Part of the patio was attached to this huge house, like a mansion. Unfortunately, I found this to be a very old a facility; although it seemed adequate, and I didn’t think my husband would like it there. It was just kind of dreary and dark, and the atmosphere was quite depressing to me. I did see the rooms, but only from the doorway. I would not feel comfortable driving there and being there, especially at night. I was uncomfortable. I would like to have brought my husband to this facility, not only for rehab but also for long-term care, but I don’t think he would be comfortable. The dining area was located off one of the corridors with nice, big, round tables. It was bright, and the food was attached to a kitchen for that particular wing or section of the rehab facility. I could see that they had celebrated holidays, and people are allowed to visit anytime. "

"The accomodations are basic. Facility is clean and pleasant. My friend, who resided at Windsor rehabilitation for several months loved the food. Staff is wonderful. Everyone is warm, welcoming, well informed and professional."

"My father was in this nursing home after he had a stroke. They took very good care of his diabetic needs and emotional needs. The nurses were very nice and helpful every time I visited. He was never in the same place for long because they had adequate lifts to handle tall wide people. They bathed him often even though it wasn't an easy feat due to his size. Because of the way he was taken care of, he had very good report with the staff. Next to the facility are horse stables, and my father's room had a view of their horse paddocks only 10 feet away. They also have a garden out back with rose bushes and a patio with furniture for residents and visitors to sit on. There are no fences around the property to keep residents in or people out, but it lends a sense of hominess rather than being in a prison. The facility also is in touch with some of the local churches that provide bussing for residents to go to their churches, even if they have a physical difficulty like needing a wheel chair to get around. Also the people from the church would visit residents throughout the week. When my father passed away at the facility, the residents were helpful in getting my father's belongings together in a timely manner so we could figure out what to bury him in. I am very grateful that he was at such a caring facility. I have only good memories of my father and I there. "

"We chose The Village at McLean Living & Care. A friend recommended it. This one just really fits our needs and wants right now. It's a CCRC. We've seen all the levels, but we have chosen independent and they're building a brand new building that's state-of-the-art, and it is just independent living. Even though there's other care on the campus, it's separate from this building. It's in the process of being constructed and it's expected to be finished on June 20, 2022. The newer building is not completed on the outside, but it's going to be beautiful. It's outstanding. It's a five-star rated place. They have good-sized apartments there with many, many, many amenities that we are interested in. We're very impressed. It's light and airy and spacious. There's a lot of open space there. The decor is attractive and cheerful, and it seems very clean and very well organized. The staff was outstanding. Their service was excellent. There's a country club next door and we ate there and it was very good. They had many offerings to make their residents happy. They give you a free social membership to the country club and reduced rates at the golf course. It's an amazing place. There's a lot of socialization. They have different groups with the arts. They are building a performing arts center right in the building. They have a gym, a pool, all kinds of aerobics classes, libraries, and different types of eating areas. They have suites there that if you have family or friends that want to come, they can stay in one of the suites there that are reserved for guests. There are so many things. It's top-notch."

"My father-in-law was at The Reservoir Care and Rehab. The place and the care were nice. The staff members were very pleasant and helpful. The place was really good. It was absolutely clean and relatively new. It is in a beautiful location, and it is much more convenient for us. They're really good. They're expensive; they're a top-end place. I was very satisfied with them."

"I toured Avery Heights. It's a beautiful place, it looked like they have a camaraderie there among the guests. It was very well kept, and it was beautiful inside. The staff was very nice. The rooms were very well laid out, it was spacious enough."

"My mother is in Ellis Manor. I think it is serving her very well. They are taking good care of her. However, it is struggling like a lot of the nursing homes. They’re struggling right now because of funding, and it is not their fault. However, the overall care is excellent. They’re taking very good care of my mother. She needs more care now than she did before. My mother has her own her room, but she shares a bathroom with somebody else. It is not spacious because it’s a nursing home, but she has a TV and her bed. It is nothing like living in a facility, but they are taking very good care of her. Right now, they’re in the process of changing how they do care for people there. They’re dropping their staff for one thing, and they’re also putting a new thing at the place, that if you’re walking by and somebody needed your help whether you were their aide or not, you are to go in and help them no matter what. I think they’re upping their care level. I think they’re trying to do the best they can. "

"The staff is totally unprofessional and borderline abusive; the patients are relatively ignored and herded like cattle. They over medicate and under-rehabilitate their patients leaving them dependent on substances and waiting out their term. I could never get a hold of someone in charge there to formally state a complaint, either. On one visit, I got into the room and my mother was lying asleep. The nurse came in and forcibly woke her. Afterwards, she gave her a collection of twenty pills, some of which she openly admitted were for later in the day, and then made her take them all. Originally she didn't even bring water for my mother to take them with. The home even has a smoker's club where the smoking patients can go out as a group and smoke! Much of my mother's health issues are directly related to cigarette smoking and i feel like enabling people in this regard is against rehabilitation standards. My mother is now home and worse off than she was when she was in the hospital before she entered the assisted living home which promoted high quality rehabilitation services. I would say that this is certainly not the case. "
