My mom is currently staying at St. Joseph Villa. We have been pleased with them. I wish they would have small refrigerators, but the room is small. It’s nice and clean.
She’s enjoyed bingo, live music, and chair exercising. Those are the only activities that she’s really been involved with. I have not seen them personally, but Mom seems happy with them.
Many of the staff do not talk to her enough, and that would be the one change that I would suggest: more communication directly with her.
She does not like the food at all. It’s a disaster as far as she’s concerned, so we bring her hamburgers.
It’s an older facility, and that makes it less desirable than a newer one, but it’s certainly adequate.
There are some good things there and some disappointing things. There have been individual caregivers who have been very nice, open, and friendly, but in general the communication is disappointing.

I was very satisfied to see how the place was. My sister was the one that actually selected Rocky Mountain Care since she is in Utah. It is new, clean, and well designed. The staff was very accepting and very kind. They are knowledgeable. They have an on-site physician who assesses all the patients once they get in. They do a thorough assessment after they are there in the first week and set up the care plan. My mom has been here about a month now in the skilled nursing facility.

My father was on hospice when he moved into the VA Nursing Home. Just a few short months later, he was off hospice and going fishing, to movies, plays, dinners, even horse back riding. The facility is clean and bright and open. The staff never seems to be stressed from having too many patients. The feeling is homey and comfortable. The food is well seasoned and plentiful. Dad gets bacon every day! The attitude seems to be ‘let them enjoy what time they have left’. And Dad is.

This is a fantastic facility. It accepts medicare but none of the stigmas that seem to come with it. It also has a fantastic hospital close by. I know a gentleman who is a resident here and he loves it. He’s a veteran of the second world war and he likes nothing better than to tell stories about his time in Germany fighting the good fight and saving the world from evil"”according to him. The staff are more than happy to sit with him and listen to his stories. Sometimes he meanders and forgets what he’s talking about, or waxes philosophical about the war, but the staff is infinitely patient with him. I’ve certainly never witnessed anything from them but the highest respect. Moreover, he met a buddy in this facility he used to serve with and they spend large amounts of their time reminiscing together. More often than not, their spirited banter draws quite a crowd among the staff, other residents, and even visitors. He certainly seems happy here.

Rooms are boring. TV did not work. Temp of the room was uncomfortably hot.
Day shift was great. They were polite, helpful, and responded quickly to the calls. They often just stopped by to check if we needed anything.
The evening shift left a lot to be desired. No response to the call button. Mom couldn’t get up to get to the bathroom, waited as long as she could, finally just wet the bed. Still no one responded. Mom got tired of waiting, got herself up, changed her wet clothes, stripped the bed, and managed to get back in bed. Still no one checked on her through the night.

I was working to help get a friend admitted to Willow Wood. Ultimately, said friend’s family changed their mind about where/how to care for their mother.
My interactions with both the administrator (Michelle) and admissions receptionist (also other staff as well) were so positive, I wanted to leave a review. Michelle, thank you for promptly returning my phone calls and for being flexible and willing to do what you could for our situation. I appreciate it! =D
Also, Daryl (medicaid case coordinator) was wonderful about responding to my questions via email. She was very helpful.
Thank you!!

My dad stayed in this facility for over 2 months. I would not recommend letting anyone you know stay here. The facility if filthy. The rooms are very small and not taken care of. All the patients look dirty including my dad. The pictures on their website are very deceiving. They must have been taken when the center first open. It does not look like that anymore and it smells awful. I felt like I needed to bring my vacuum from home and clean their hallways. We decided to have my dad stay there because they said they had a wonderful physical therapy. My dad left that center weaker than when he started there. The food looks and smells awful.

This facility has many functions, along with rehabilitation and hospice, it also caters to residents with Alzheimer’s. I’m intimately acquainted with a family who has a grandfather with Alzheimer’s and who is a resident in this facility. I’ve even visited him a few times. It’s a sad, difficult situation that the family’s in, and leads inevitably to heartbreak. But I know that they feel comfort in knowing that he’s taken care of so well in this facility. The nursing staff are exceptionally kind to them. They know the names of this resident’s visitors and try to remind him of who they are when they come to visit. They are also very gentle to the family by helping them to come to terms and understand what’s happening with their loved one. They are also very careful to protect this resident’s dignity. He often doesn’t know what he’s doing but they are quick to put everything to rights with respect and love.

I chose The Life Care Center for grandpas rehab stay, following a total knee replacement. Within 5 minutes of walking in to the facility, I knew it was going to be difficult. Someone did help us get him to his room, but once in the room, they left with zero communication in the next steps, even though they are the ones that told us what time he needed to be there for his admission to the facility. We were left sitting in his room, waiting for someone to come talk to us for at least 30 minutes. I ended up pushing the call light and going up the nurses station to find someone after the call light being on for at least 15 minutes. The CNA that came in to do his check in vitals and weight was less than nice. She hardly spoke, was very rude and abrupt and when I told her than my grandpas briefs needed to be changed she argued with me in front of him about the fact that because she couldn’t smell it, he must not need a change. I insisted he did, so she got another CNA to help change him, and both of them complained the entire time, saying it was pointless because he wasn’t dirty, when in fact he was, and they both ended up rudely apologizing. One of the nurses in particular was lazy and had zero desire to help him. After multiple phone calls because he wasn’t getting his pain meds in time, and literal days trying to get them to give him his pain meds on time, did they finally do something.
When he was ready to be discharged back to home, they gave attempted to give me less than 24 hours notice to get things arranged for his discharge, they didn’t work with his case worker on getting any of tue supplies like a elevated toilet seat, wheelchair, disposable briefs, etc. set up before discharging him, so he ended up being discharge home without any of the daily living equipment he needed. They no-showed more than care plan meeting. They also called me multiple times to get my arrival time on when I would be coming to pick him up so they could discharge him, and when I arrived at the facility the day of his discharge, at the time I said I would be there, they had absolutely nothing done.
I had already set up his home health and physical therapy for when he got discharged, and the a representative from the company we worked with physically walked in to the facility to let them know they would be the ones doing the home health and physically therapy and the facility STILL sent the home health and PT orders to a different company and gave me zero communication on any of his discharge orders.
I absolutely would never go there again. The majority of the staff, with the exception of a couple people were beyond rude, lazy, and the complete lack of communication and organization is mind boggling.

Over an hour late with your next pill is not good.! Maintenance guy it was very good very helpful. The place has been redecorated and it looks good. Don’t let that fool you. The place is just Dreadful. Especially when you’re stuck there.

When my husband went from the hospital to Hillside Rehab, he was withdrawn, bedfast and hardly eating anything. Within two weeks, Hillside staff had him talking, sitting up, walking, bathing and eating almost normally. Every nurse, doctor, therapist, aide, food worker, housekeeper or administrator we have met has been friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, and the real genius of the place is the way the work together to help each patient get better at their own pace. I and my children were actually brought into the Interdisciplinary Team Meeting, where our questions were addressed and our point of view considered. The physical space is tasteful and cozy, while being arranged to meet the medical needs of patients and the comfort of visitors. Administrators explained the process of getting home health and the how the billing works. We chose Hillside, because it was close to home and was part of a larger non-profit agency with numerous quality awards. Hillside has definitely lived up to its reputation, and truly has saved my husband’s life. Thanks to all the great Hillside staff that are making it happen.

I have a friend who used to be at this facility who I could never seem to contact. She had recently sustained a fall and I’ve been worried about her. I’ve tried calling her and arranging a visit, but nothing seemed to work. So one day I just stopped by. obviously I surprised the staff, but not in a good way. When I got in to see my friend, she was not taken care of nearly as well I’d hoped. Her bed linens were dirty and she had soiled herself because nobody was there to assist her. She’s a proud woman and she was extremely upset. Obviously I apprised the family of the situation and they moved her at once. This facility, unfortunately, has disappointed me.

We were told that our father would be moved in 3 days to their new rooms. After 3 weeks he was still in the old room. He said the food was terrible. He lost 10 pounds in the 3 weeks he was there. We were told they also bring around snacks 3 times a day besides the meals. He never received a snack. We had family members visit him every day. On the days I went his food was very cold and I had to have them warm it up. We would call to ask them to have him ready to go on an outing, but when we arrived to pick him up there was no one at the desk to check him out. They had not given him any breakfast as asked. They promised a lot but never delivered. They were only concerned with getting the money. We were VERY unhappy with the center.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Salt Lake City, Utah
Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
- Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
- Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
- Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
