Nursing Home Communities in Pomeroy, WA

"My wife moved into Avalon progressive Care LLc. I think they have good staff. In this area, they had a hard time keeping staff. The staff in her nursing home has been there quite a while, so that's saying something. My wife thinks the food is good. My wife chose this community."

"My grandfather lived in Clarkston Care Center, and me and my family saw that he had a good care. The nurses and workers are very kind and they are always looking for the needs of the people in the facility, and they were always asking if they need something. They told to my family, every week, about the condition of my grandfather. I think that this center has a good quality and is a good home, because even when the place is small my grandfather always said that he was very happy there, and that all the people looked for his happiness. "

"This is the only full-time skilled nursing facility in the area. It's a very small, crowded place, and not large enough to handle the demand. So it's not very good for a long stay. My wife's been there on three different occasions. I think they did well as they could. It's not a place that you want to settle down for several years. Maybe just for a couple of weeks or so for rehabilitation. They need to expand their facility. "

"My father has moved into Idaho State Veterans Home - Lewiston. I like them a lot. I think they do a good job. They take 24-hour care, and the nurses, from what I observed, are friendly and nice to the residents, especially to my dad. They've been doing a lot of fixing up, and I like it. It's not so clinical looking, and it doesn't look like a hospital or an actual nursing home that you walk into. Every time I've gone there, the rooms are clean. There's nothing on the floors, and there's no mess in the bathrooms or anything like that. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. They've never put me off when I've asked questions and stuff. They have given me straight answers. They have games and bingo of course. They always give me a calendar of activities for each day."

"I visited Life Care Center in Lewiston, Idaho in 2010. Both my grandmother and one of her close lifelong friends were patients there. While visiting this facility I saw a wide variety of both quality professional conduct and conduct boering upon abuse. My grandmother was admitted for a short-term stay for rehabilitation only, she reported to me that the nurses were condescending towards her and she felt very insulted. I personally witnessed her friend being mistreated by a certified nursing assistant, who wrongly claimed to be a nurse when she was not. Most staff, including the physical therapists were very professional in conduct and treated my grandmother with respect. Some nurses were also extremely professional, while others were unprofessional and rude. I would not like to see any of my family members to ever be patients in this facility again. My recommendation to anyone with family members in this facility is to visit often and keep an eye on how your relative is doing, ask them how they are being treated and listen to what they have to say. Watch for bruises and a change in behavior. "

"Whitman Health and Rehab is the closest one to our house even though I have to drive 15 miles away. It is actually owned by the employees themselves. The place is clean and they have quite a bit of space around. The service and the food is very good. They're very lucky to have a good cook. They give my wife a bath, they watch all of her medications, and she gets the care that she needs. So I feel quite secure in having her there. We're very happy with it. I think they're doing a pretty good job. "
