Nursing Home Communities in Skowhegan, ME

"Cedar Ridge Center is very nice. Under the conditions of today, it's not adequate for the patients to be at. As of today, it is not adequate for anybody to be at because the patients can't leave the room, unless they have visitors, to go outdoors. It was very isolated because of the COVID. This is the third time that my mother is there, so they're very good. The place is very clean. On a regular basis, there's a lot of activities and it's very nice, but because of the COVID it's very limited. They have some outside music, dancing, and entertainment a few times, and that was a delight. They can't do much inside. It is overly expensive."

"My grandfather stayed in this nursing home during his last few months with us on earth. The staff were very friendly. My grandfather had Lewie-Body Dementia, and was very difficult to deal with at times. They always treated him well. He was even given permission to have his dog, and life-long companion, visit him regularly. That kept him in high spirits, and most places don't allow that. When it came time for my grandfather to pass they were very helpful to our family. We were given a large room, as my grandfather has around 15 children, and there are about 30 of us grandchildren. They allowed us to stay with him until he took his last breath. They were so kind to us all. They made his last few months very peaceful for him, and easier on the family. I truly thank them for what they did for my grandfather. He was kept as comfortable as possible at all times. They went above and beyond what a normal nurse would do, to ensure that he was always happy and well taken care of. The only downfall to him being in a home was not being able to see him at any time, but that is not their fault. "

"Mount Saint Joseph Residence & Rehabilitation at 7 Highwood St, Waterville, ME 04901 has friendly staff. The nursing staff are respectful and strive to treat their patients with dignity. Unfortunately, the are two areas that are lacking when dealing with their patients lifestyles. The first is the kitchen. Their food can be considered mediocre, at best. They do not have anything that sticks out as good. Nutritional information is hard to get from the kitchen. As a diabetic, I found this particularly troublesome. The other area of concern is in regards to personal property. A friend of mine brought over my flat panel TV and surround sound bar, one weekend. That Monday, I was informed that I could not use my TV because they provide a 20" TV for me to watch. Considering my bed is 10 Feet away from that TV, seeing the screen is problematic. Their justification was the following: 1) They did not want to be liable for any damage that occurs to my 32" Seiki. 2) According to one of the hospital's administrators, "YOu are on a short term Rehab unit, so I do not get the privilege have my own TV, even though many residents in their residential facility do have the right to have that. All in all, your relatives will be well cared for while they stay here. There is good staff to client ratio. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Your loved ones will be well cared for. "

"The rooms are nice and the nurses were kind and took real good care of you. I went there for rehab and it greatly helped me with improved walking and balance. The food could be better, but they have an alternate menu. There are activities such as ice cream socials, concerts, bingo to name a few. I would recommend this place and for the skilled and compassionate nurses."

"I found the staff at Lakewood to be very caring, loving, and very attentive. The facilities were very clean. There were four different gardens where you could go out and sit. If you are not able to, they will put you in a wheelchair and make sure you can get out there. It's clean and the rooms were a good size. They have some private rooms, but those were usually for the very ill. The food was great. I actually stayed there and didn't have a problem with it. There was a good variety and you had a choice. For breakfast, you could have oatmeal or cream of wheat or cold cereal, eggs, bacon, sausage, and toast. Each section has its own little kitchen to do snacks. If you didn't like something, they could try to find something that they could substitute with. There's always juice, soda, iced water, coffee, and tea available. They clean the floors and bathrooms every single day. They have daily activities, five days a week. Sometimes it's music, games, or speakers that will be interesting, especially to older people, like history. Sometimes they bring a group that puts on a little singing concert for them, especially at Christmas time and stuff. They try to keep them engaged. I think for what you're getting, the price is fair. They try to care for you. Medicine is always on time and they try to check my sugars."
