"Our family member is receiving good care and likes living here. The staff is kind, helpful and respectful. Facility is clean and modern. Any issues are promptly resolved.

"My mom is a resident of Chalet of Niles and we liked the Chalet very much. We like the staff. My mom is 89 and we have been having problems as far as her healthcare is concerned. She has the propensity of bawling and her needs have increased. But the staff, the people there, are very caring. They did really well during the pandemic. The food is good. I like the administrator, and so does my mom. It is not bad; it is actually really good. Her room is nice. It is an older facility, but they keep up on it. They just now started back up with activities. They were doing activities during the pandemic, things like hall bingo, connecting with all the residents, and they did well for being in the middle of a pandemic. Now she is able to go to the dining room, she is able to join in the activities if she wishes. She loves bingo, and so they play a lot of that. She is also the resident council president. I can't say enough about the Chalet of Niles. I think they are very professional, caring, and loving human beings."

"This is the second time my mom has been a resident at West Wood of Niles & they continue to amaze me! The staff are awesome!! They truly go above and beyond taking care of my mom!! A great experience all around!! Thank you always!!"

"This facility is poorly run, and staff changes constantly. Our family member was served lunch at 3 in the afternoon many days. The insurance/billing department and the "social worker" was a joke. They spent all day doing nothing, and hanging out with social worker brother who was a resident too. Old, outdated rooms, peeling paint and dirty floors and carpet. This rest home looked gross. "

"They cared for my Mother and did the best they could. She was not an easy resident, but they treated her with professionalism and loving care. My brother and I appreciate everything that they did for her. Nursing, dietary, housekeeping, therapy and the management staff went above and beyond to help make her staff a good experience. "

"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 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."

"Very caring staff. More adequate staffing levels than another place where my aunt was previously. They are open to ideas from patients and families. "

"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 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."

"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!"
