"My late wife spent her last 22 months there, and I was there for 2 weeks of orthopedic post-operative rehabilitation after surgery. Overall care was compassionate, concerned, and outstanding by all from the executive director, nurses, aides, rehabilitation and recreational staff, and the medical director. Even the food was excellent. I recommend this place with no reservations. "

"I was very happy with the care and compassion shown to my mother while she was a resident there. "

"I have been a resident at this facility for 4 years and found the care excellent . I hope all the nursing homes are able to keep their standards in lieu of this current governor's wanting to utterly destroy the nursing home industry. "

"My mom's a resident of Briarfield Place. It's a new facility, I think it's only been open for one year. It's very clean. I was there maybe two full days and a half. People were coming in to do some cleaning, her eye drops, and medication, and she needed assistance toileting and showering. The people were very nice. She had a bed and two chairs in her room, a walk-in shower, and the toilet was set up with rails and grab bars on the side and everything. It was very nice. For the most part, I would say the staff were good. Unfortunately, two times, she had to have a boot on because she had fractured her fibula, and they put it on the wrong foot. We did bring it to their attention, and it has not happened since. I eat off her plate a little bit and the food was very tasty. They had a pretty good variety of food. She was asked if there is anything that she doesn't like. She doesn't eat red meat and she doesn't eat mushrooms, so they always had that little note on her tray to ensure that she did not get what she was not going to eat."

"Wonderful experience! No one WANTS to go to a nursing home but if you NEED to go to one, this is the best. Everyone was so nice and COMPETENT! The direct care staff and the management were genuine and really care. Rooms are big. Food is good. Smells clean. I felt safe keeping my mom there for rehab. She actually loved it there!! Highly recommend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "

"Shepherd of the Valley - Poland was very nice. They had about 50 to 60 independent units behind their big building, which were like one-story duplexes that range from 805 square feet to 900 square feet. They're all two bedrooms and looked pretty nice. It's a nice little community. Every unit has a washer-dryer, refrigerator, stove, and one car garage. You can go into the main building and eat if you want to, but it's not included in your plan. If you can't go get your meal, because you're either not healthy or can't go, they'll charge you $1 to come and deliver it to you. The staff was very nice and very good. They had excellent landscaping and it was kept up well."

"The rooms are undergoing transition to better. The food was good but my mother in law refused to eat...the staff was always busy, but attentive. Our experience with Caprice was wonderful. When we needed them, they were there. They listened, they responded, they helped us and my mother in law any time we needed help. To the office staff, the aids, the nurses, (especially Kelly), the activities directors, the kitchen crew, physical therapy, the cleaning staff, and anyone working in the facility...thank you. You made difficult times better."

"My grandfather is currently in Continuing Healthcare at the Ridge in Mineral Ridge. He's in the nursing home side of it. The initial appearance and the public spaces of the facility are fair in maintenance but the rooms themselves that we have been in have not been maintained to the level of my expectation. There are cleanings and care that could be done to the rooms to improve them. The staff is wonderful and they're doing what they can with the number of staff that they have. Unfortunately, I feel like they're overwhelmed with patients. Maybe the caseload is a little much to be getting the care that the patients truly deserve. He's only been able to get his food in his room since he hasn't been able to get out and socialize. All of the food he's had has been satisfactory. I think improving on cleanliness needs to be their top priority. I know staffing is a huge issue with everybody so more adequate staffing for patient care could be improved too."

"We toured Marian Living Center. It was our second choice. It was nice where they were located in the building. They had enough for the assisted living plus. They also had nursing across time limits. A lot of the places only had nursing with the morning and the afternoon shift, and then they would have an aide watching on the night shift. They had a nurse 24/7 on the premises. It was very nicely laid out. There was a lot of community space there. I don't think there's anything to improve on. I believe they have a salon that they could go to, I know that they go on activities, and one of the things that they went on recently was they went on an outdoor concert. There were a lot of different things that they were doing."

"Hampton Woods was recommended by the doctor. He said "I had some patients there and the experience has been nothing but positive with the administration. Your mom would fit in well there." Unfortunately, when we got there, it was a Friday afternoon, about 3:30 or 4:30, and a lot of their weekly staff had already left for the weekend, but the business manager was in and she was so nice and so accommodating. She said "It's OK. It's not 5:00. Of course, we'll show you through." She was just so nice about it and she took us around. She took time out of her schedule, which meant she was probably going home half an hour later and all that because she would have still had to finish up her paperwork. She showed us everything and explained everything. This facility had a New Orleans theme to it. The dining room was as if you were on a riverboat with the chandelier and the tablecloths. That's where people normally took their meals down there. So naturally, those people would love it because you were being treated like royalty. Kind of like if we took a trip today on one of those ocean cruises. The cafeteria food was on the bottom floor and things were arranged for convenience there. Their bottom floor had the exercise room, the little courtyard if you wanted to go out and sit in on the flowers, the laundry facilities, the nurse's station, and just things that would be, in our household, we would need to run into. The second floor and third floor were all rooms for people. The second floor seemed to be more for single rooms. The third floor seemed to be more like suites. The rooms were exquisitely furnished. The furniture was dark cherry wood. It was very nice. Sometimes you would walk in there and they would be like "I hope I don't do anything to ruin your furniture." It was really nice. They have a little kitchenette there for everybody and that was nice. You could have your breakfast there and they would bring the breakfast to you if you didn't want to go down to the cafeteria. We were on the floor with the suites and they were arranged like little semicircles. So, it would be a little cul-de-sac on your floor. The other people from the other cul-de-sacs came out to say hi. Then they had a big general family room in the middle of all those rooms so everybody could share the family room or if you didn't like that, you could be in your own little room where you had your own little living room. You would have 3 or 4 definite friends from the other rooms. When I was there, some people were going out on a trip with them. They were going to the mall (because they don't get out that often to go to the mall). These people were excited and they were running downstairs to catch the bus and all that. They had a mixture of people there. They have old and young people, as young as 50 there and as old as 90. It was a wide variety of age groups. There was no discrimination. It was beautiful. The food was lovely."
