Nursing Home Communities in Tell City, IN

"After making it nearly 70 years living independently my great-grandmother finally has had to move to a community that can better care for her. She moved into Oakwood about 3 years ago. The first time I went to visit her I didn't exactly expect to be wow'ed by her living conditions. Most similar places I've been in our area seem to be little more then places to house the sick and dying. The first thing I noticed in Oakwood was the feeling that I was in more of a community instead of a hospital type setting. The main lobby is nicely decorated, the grounds are well kept, and there seemed to be plenty of commons areas with people actually using them playing cards. I didn't find my grandmother bed-ridden in her room but had to use one of the helpful employees roaming the halls to direct me to an area where she and some of her new friends were playing cards. From numerous other wonderful visits I can say that Oakwood Health Campus is definitely leagues above pretty much every other assisted living community in this area. Everything from the staff to the amenities is top notch. "

"My husband is at Heartland Villa Center. Our experience has been fine. The food was the least thing I liked about it. It's just bland and not tasty. The people are great and the care is great. The rooms are very clean. They are cleaning the rooms every single day. It's pretty bright, not cheery, but better than some I've seen. The staff was great. They're very friendly and very knowledgeable. They have a large TV room for gathering, different activities for them to do like bingo and checkers and stuff like that, and physical therapy and occupational therapy. They have a nice park, too. You can take your loved ones out and sit in the shade or they take them outside and play music and everything."

"I'm at The Waters of Rockport. It's only temporary. I wanted it to be long-term, but I make too much for Medicaid and not enough for private pay. What I like least is the food and the best is the level of care. I like the nurses. The nurses keep an eye on you. The CNAs are always there to help. It's very clean. They're always cleaning. They have quite a few housekeepers. They play dominoes, they bring around cats, and they have exercise, gospel singing, music, and church. They have quite a few activities. I'm in a semi-private, and it's not very big for two people."

"My mom is in Owensboro Care Center. It is an old facility. The building itself is probably 60 years old. The rooms are small and cramped. The care overall is lacking. I think they're understaffed. If there was more staff there, my mom would be able to have a diaper change every two hours like they're supposed to do. "

"Carmel Home is a bigger, cleaner and newer facility than where my mom is in right now. Their environment was more home-like and it didn't have an antiseptic smell to it when I visited. It was also brighter and the furnishings were newer. Their rooms were bigger. There were also more private areas that you can go and actually visit instead of always having to visit at a nurses station or in a crowded hallway. There was also more individual care there. "

"Really love seeing the Heros Journeys! Home like environment, caring staff, excellent therapy, activities."
