Nursing Home Communities in Lakewood, OH

"This isn't a nursing home, it's a short-term rehab care facility and everybody who enters is expected to be fully well within a few weeks. My relative was put in here after her doctors (two physicians who have practiced a long time at Lakewood Hospital and won awards, etc.) recommended she be put there for recovery from a post-surgical complication. The head of the Skilled Nursing disagreed with the doctors causing a big argument over whether my relative would be admitted there or not, and when she finally was I thought the people in charge did not provide her with very good care. For example, they did not follow dietary guidelines communicated through her doctors and left her alone in a situation that led to a fall (fortunately she wasn't injured). They were basically looking for an excuse to transfer her out and I was relieved when she did go to another facility as I was really afraid something would happen to her in there. I understand Lakewood Hospital may be closing soon anyway. "

"excellent facility, great staff, residents and guest get 1st class care "

"The home was dirty, the staff was unprofessional and rude and the atmosphere was awful. I felt that the staff did not care about their patients. They used curse words with each other, made fun of residents and seemed unwilling to help visitors. I would never leave a family member at this place. They should be ashamed of the way they treat residents. The residents I spoke with seemed unhappy about being at Crestmont, disliked the way they were treated and expressed feeling that they were a burden. No one should ever feel like that at a nursing home. The floors and walls were dirty. Resident rooms were not kept up, I saw stains on furniture and tears in the drapes. What an awful place!! "

"Algart Health Care is an assisted living facility which offers independent options to seniors, that need increasingly skilled care. It is really a beautiful place, it is very tastefully decorated. The residents have access to a library, store and salon. They provide a shuttle for everyone. My aunt was a resident there for many years. The apartments are VERY nice. Expensive, but nice. All have flat showers, cable, internet and phone. The meals are quite enjoyable. The kitchen staff is wonderful, even though it must be hard to please everyone. My aunt was very pleased with the selections. You can also watch t.v. or listen to music during your meal. One nice feature is that they have a private kitchen and dining room so families can reserve the place to have a family dinner or movie. We have found their nursing services very consistent. They have several nurses on staff, that make sure every resident gets the care they need. My Aunt Carol always got her meds on time, and raved about the medical staff. They all seemed caring and dedicated.Most of the staff were nice people who were happy to work there. I was always greeted with a smile and friendly tones. My Aunt passed away last year, but I KNOW she lived out her final days happy. I would highly recommend Algart Health Care to everyone. "

"My mom is in St. Augustine Health Campus right now for therapy. She is doing great. She is having her physical therapy. She has her rehab and she has to recover. "

"During the time that my grand father and great uncle were being cared for at Manor Care, I visited multiple times and observed many aspects of the care provided. The staff were pleasant for the most part and some of the nurses really took a liking to and provided a type of friendship to my grand father. There was some issues with the physical therapy department keeping tabs on my great uncle. He often was not taken to his appointments for physical therapy after breaking his leg. He ended up staying an extra two weeks because of this. "

"We moved my sister to O'Neill Healthcare Fairview Park. It's family-owned. I have tasted their food, and it's good. They have a chef, which is good. The only complaint is they have steak and chicken in lots of ways, and for me, that's not necessarily good. They don't have trouble keeping employees. Everybody seems very happy. It's one-story, so everything is on one floor. They have a front porch where they can go out and enjoy the fresh air. It's really nice. The facility is very well maintained. I rated it the highest number. The staff is very attentive. Every time I go in there with additional questions, they're very attentive and are always available. Regarding activities, I don't think they have very many, because these people are in the final stages. They have parties, get-togethers, and movies and stuff, but they don't have many physical activities. They have rehab services in the basement, and they take them down by elevator. They accept Medicare waivers, so that's a plus."

"My mother was at this facility and I loved the staff there. A nurse named Tiara deserves a gold star!! She was amazing with my mom. Everytime I called in she answered all of my questions, when I would visit my mother she had nothing but nice things to say. All of the staff were great I had no complaints about any of them. The building is beautiful inside, I love all the work they are putting into it. I would recommend this facility to anyone that needs rehab. The nurses and the therapy department are great!! "

"This review is for the nursing home portion of the complex (it also has various levels of independent and assisted living). It is in a lovely location with gardens, a park and the lake right across the street. The meal menus are decent and there seem to be a lot of activities. However, this place is better for people who do not need a lot of nursing care but rather just need a little help with dressing or bathing, or someone to keep an eye on them during the day. My impression is that the facility is understaffed and is not able to respond that efficiently to people who are bedridden or have needs throughout the day. I am not sure if they have a lot of Alzheimers or dementia patients but there was also definitely a tendency among some staff to treat older people like little children and be patronizing towards them, which does not work well with everybody especially people who are still in their right minds. I also had significantly more trouble here getting calls through to residents and other persons at the facility than I did elsewhere; often the phone would just ring and ring till it hung up without ever going to VM, and once a staff member answered and handed the phone off to a resident who I did not know at all and was not the person I was trying to reach.

"I happened to stumble upon this site when looking at information on The Welsh Home and felt the need to write a review in response to a prior review that had been submitted. My Grandmother and my Aunt were both residents at The Welsh Home. They both started as skilled rehabilitation residents that transitioned into long term care and then eventually passed away. Both of them changed rooms multiple time, but each time was because of a need the facility and our family identified and would be the best fit for both my family members - closer to a nursing station, to a larger room for more privacy and family to visit near the end, etc.... I can not say enough about the care they were given. The facility treated them, and us, like we were their own family members. They have a Chaplain that was there at the end and was able to offer support through the whole end of life process and afterward. There is a reason I have had two separate experiences with this facility, because after my Grandma was here, we couldn't even imagine a better place for my Aunt to go. I would urge anyone needing long term care or skilled rehabilitation to go visit this facility, we highly recommend it. "

"They took such good care of my father. rehabilitation OT was amazing. Nurses were OK aids OK.."

"I went to the facility to a tour because I was looking at different places for my mother. I met with the woman who is over there admissions and she showed me around the building. The facility seems clean and the staff seemed very friendly I was told they take the residents on outings at least once a month to places like walmart, red lobster,& olive garden. They provide church services in house, and they have a bank there too. There is 5 different units that cater to the different needs of the residents.It seems like a nice and clean a place I'd concider putting my mother. It's also on the same campus as the biggest trauma hospital in ohio, that's also a plus. "

"My mother was diagnosed with alzheimer's disease in early 2007. At that time, it was manageable. She moved into our home & we went about our daily lives as best we could. About a year later in 2008, mom started showing significant signs of dementia as well & the heartwrenching decision to place her in a care facility was made. We visited numerous facilities & the one that really stood out to us was Manor Care in North Olmsted, Ohio. The staff there really cares about the patients as if they're family members of their own. The facility is extremely organized, efficient, & provide excellent alzheimers care. They've really been a blessing to us. As my mom slips further into the disease, not only are they taking excellent care of her, the staff there has been a godsend to our family. We visit almost daily & it never ceases to amaze me how much they really do care. I'd recommend this facility to anyone in a similar position. "
