"My husband is at Nature Trail Health Care Center. I think it's a wonderful place. It's nice. It's clean. Everybody is extremely friendly. They're very helpful and very caring. I would recommend it to anyone. There are two persons in a room. And if you need anything, they're right there to help you. Like if my husband has to be taken out of his chair and put in his wheelchair, they'll use the lift that lifts him up and sits him in his chair, and then they put him right back in when he needs to be changed or if he needs a shower or anything. They're right on top of that. They take my husband into therapy, and they try to get him to do a thing with his feet, just like riding a bicycle but he is sitting in this wheelchair, and he is pedaling on this thing that's on the floor. They had a party at Christmas time. They had a party at Thanksgiving time. And at Christmas time, everybody got a great big bag with all kinds of Christmas presents. They're caring. If they have a question or anything, they call me on the phone. And they keep me posted on everything. The staff members are all so friendly. The food looks nutritious. My husband has a problem with eating because there are certain foods that he doesn't like, but I think what they feed him is very good. It's just his tastebud. Physically, the facility is very kept and very clean. You walk in the door, and you don't smell pee or anything else. They're always cleaning. However, I don't think my husband takes part in too many activities. He kind of stays to himself except when it comes to time to eat. He also has a couple of three people that sit at the same table with him that he likes. Regarding value for money, it's pretty much the same as it was at the other place."

"I have a family member who is at the nursing home of Mount Vernon Health Care Center. The facility is understaffed. The building smells most of the time. My family member can't get up on his own. He has trouble walking and they don't change him like they're supposed to. He has accidents and has to sit on his wet pants all day. His room is OK. He's supposed to be sharing with somebody, but so far, they haven't gotten anybody in there. They just sit and watch television or sit in the dining room, and then walk around and stand at the nurse's station talking to the nurses. So, they have no activities. I haven't been there too much when they are serving food, but I take a lot of his food over there to him because he can't eat what they serve. They could improve by getting more staff and helping their patients more. They could give them some activities to do, and try to get them to associate with other patients instead of just talking to the staff all the time."

"I was in Carrier Mills Nursing & Rehabilitation Center after I was in the hospital with pneumonia. I had a very good experience. The food was excellent. The care that the nurses gave was excellent. I would recommend it to anybody that needed to go to a nursing home. The rooms were a little small, but if there was just one to be in there, they were fine. I shared a room with a gentleman. They had singing and movies, and you could go to the main dining room to eat if you so desired. They have a very good physical therapy facility. If somebody needs physical therapy, they have excellent therapists. They’re quite attentive to your needs, and it isn’t far from our home. "
