Mt. Alverna Village

The assisted living facility that I found for my client is called Mount Alverna Village. It is run by the Franciscan Sisters from Chicago. My client is a former Franciscan priest. The place is very relaxed and comfortable. I think the staff is very helpful and very interested in trying to do whatever they can do to make my client’s stay there as pleasant as possible. He seems to be thriving there. The room is physically adequate. The dining area is not terribly large, but it doesn’t need to be. It is sufficient for those that would be in the room at any one time. They have various activities, too.

Mt. Alverna serves as both a temporary/permanent assisted living residence as well as a nursing home. They had beautiful spacious rooms with a bathroom in each. They had an outdoor garden where residents were able to enjoy in warmer weather. My grandmother was placed under the care of the employees of Mt. Alverna and I must commend them for the treatment of her during the duration of her stay there. My grandmother initially resided at Mt. Alverna for rehabilitation purposes. Their rehab center had all the necessary equipment to ensure her healing. The staff was phenomenal in terms of caring for their residents. The staff made sure the environment was clean/sanitary, welcoming and safe for all visitors and residents. They took time out of their day to sit with my grandmother and make sure she had all of the things she needed to feel comfortable. My grandmother ended up passing away peacefully while at Mt. Alverna. Upon her passing, you could tell that the connections between staff and residents was genuine. The staff were extremely emotional with the passing of my grandmother and all of them attended her service in Mt. Alverna's chapel. I have no complaints about Mt. Alverna. I am so thankful for the beautiful individuals who gave my grandmother everything she needed before passing on.
