"I visited with my Ward (I've been his guardian for 6 years at this same facility) approximately a week or two ago. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the nursing home and even mentioned it to one of the caregivers. I'm in a lot of facilities and always take note of such things. It appears Cardinal Nursing Home has updated their building with fresh paint, new floors and it was again, very clean. I was so pleased. Thanks for ensuring a clean and pleasant place for our precious elderly."

"The staff have been very welcoming from the very beginning. Now even after my parents have moved in they greet me when I come to visit. The staff is wonderful in communicating updates on my parents. Mom and dad are so happy to not have to cook any more. There are many other activities (daily mass, monthly lunch bunch, weekly happy hour, daily exercise classes) to help the residents become a real community. The rooms have a small footprint (500-550 sq ft) but they are very well maintained. They have a maintenance person who helps the residents get settled after move in (hanging art/photos, TV wall mounting) and fix anything with a work order."

"My dad is in Holy Cross Long-Term Nursing Care for rehab. I like the cleanliness of it and the staff. They are genuine and caring. I see that they care about the residents there. The food is good, too. A lot of times when I walk into some of the facilities, I know that it doesn't necessarily mean they're dirty, it has the urine smell. I haven't smelled that at the rehab part or over at the nursing home part of this facility. I know that they have good people and I've seen the cleaning staff quite a bit. Even at my dad's room in the rehab, they're over there cleaning in his room. It always smells good and he smells good because they keep him clean. I didn't catch any when I was there but I know they have activities. I think they have some entertainment that might come in and sing some songs. The dining area is open so it just seems light and airy. The residents can sit together and talk, and have conversations."

"My dad was a resident of Wellbrooke of South Bend. They did their best with him, but he wasn't happy there. Other patients came into his room, used his bathroom, and slept in his bed. He's about six feet one inch, and the bed barely fits him. It was just like a dorm room. And where he's at now, we had his bed from home, and he could have his furniture. So, that was a drawback. He was just in a unit. It's separate from the other areas. It was just like an open concept, and they had activities. It was mostly women, and my dad isn't into doing arts and crafts and activities like that. The facility was clean and very nice, and they had a happy hour on Friday. The workers were good, but they were understaffed. They had one guy there who worked so hard, and my husband sometimes would have to shower my dad because he wouldn't get a shower for a week. Once a month, they had a Sunday brunch, which was nice."

"My uncle went to Healthwin. They were wonderful. The best thing I liked about them, is they were very patient with him. My uncle is not a social person, but they were very patient. They assessed everything and let us know. They kept in great communication with us. They were amazing. The facility was very nice, very clean, and very well-kept. They had activities going on all the time. But I think for my uncle with the rehab, they tried to keep him moving and try to keep him doing what he needed to do. They were very welcoming, too. They cared about him, what was going on with him, and what the path was that we were going to be taking. They were very kind people. The rooms were beautiful. I know they have different sections, but the section that my uncle was in was very nice."

"My wife stayed at Majestic Care of South Bend for four days, for respite. The experience was good. My wife's room was clean. They took care of my wife. The staff was about average. There were some good foods, and some were not so good. The atmosphere was OK. The people were all nice. They give you what you're asking for. They didn't keep my wife in her room all the time because she likes to talk to other people, so that can be good or bad. Even though they have an activity room that they showed me, my wife just wandered around or watched TV in her room. I didn't see any activity. This place was a lot closer and easier to get to. The facility was really clean and looked new. It has nice grounds. The people seemed to be OK and nice."

"The facility we looked at was Ironwood Health Rehab, and we were very pleased. It’s very clean, caring, and efficient. The workers were very nice, friendly, and helpful, and they took very good care of my dad. They had a rehab room, outdoor courtyards, and recreational activities. However, it’s an older facility and needs modern updating. "

"Even with the challenges of staffing and COVID in healthcare, West Bend's staff have gone above and beyond to accommodate my family member. The managers are very informative and kept our family updated throughout the process while my dad was in rehab. Building is outdated but it isn't always about the bells and whistles!"

"My mother is at Saint Paul's. The staff is very caring. I have had lots of good conversations with the nurses and the aides there. She ended up moving from there into the hospital for a while and then rehab again and we weren't sure if she was going to be able to move in. They all loved Mom. They wanted her to come back and they said, "Whatever it takes, she can come back." They're very sweet and she's got a good friend there, too. We had Thanksgiving dinner there and it was pretty good. She has a studio, so there's a bathroom and a living room, bedroom combination. They've got lots to do there. She also has PT there, and she likes having mass every day. They come right to the floor, so I think that's good because a lot of them can't get off the floor. They try to have something every couple of days for them to do. I've only participated in making Christmas decorations. Compared to other places, value for money is very good."

I'd like to give a shout out to all the staff, the nurses, the aids, the housekeeping, the transportation and the cooks. I'm very glad we choose Creekside for my husband's care."

"They take very good care of my mom at West Woods of Niles. She is in a semi-private room, so she has a roommate, but it is very nice, and it is fine. They have crafts, music, Bingo, and all kinds of things going on. Like for the Father's Day this weekend, they are having ice-cream cones, and they are getting ready for the baseball season. The food is good. There are three dining areas, and all of them are surrounded by windows, so you can see outside, which I think is a very helpful thing. It is very well-lit with natural light so they can see outside -- see the flowers and the bushes. They have bird feeders and different things, so it makes it nice for the person to be there. It is not dark, and it is very open. The servers and everyone are very attentive. Part of why we chose it is because it is a local community where we were raised, so some of the people that may or may not be in the nursing home might be former friends; it is more local. They also do rehab, and that is how she started there -- with rehab. I would recommend them. They are very attentive and very considerate. "

"Southfield Village was very clean and roomy. They were doing an activity when we were there and they had an activities director that was doing it. It was very organized, except they only had a room on the second floor, and that was a no-no for my mom, but it was very nice and the people were friendly."

"I'm here at Sprenger Health Care for rehab. I think it's really nice. The staff are fantastic. The food is very good. If you need transportation, there is a woman here that arranges the transportation. It's very good. It's very clean. I don't see anything wrong with it at all. The cost is like any other one."

If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
