Providence Benedictine Nursing Center

Patricia

My husband is a resident of Providence Benedictine Nursing Center. They're doing physical therapy and speech therapy. The staff is very busy and attentive. They seem to be very careful about how they treat him and everything. They just moved him to a two-person room, so he seems okay there. The facility seems pretty good. I didn't feel like it smelled bad or anything when I walked in, and it seemed clean.

I stayed at Providence Benedictine Nursing Center. Other than the therapy people, the whole place stinks. The physical therapy and occupational therapy were terrific, outstanding, excellent, but the rest of the place, I wouldn't send a dog there, nothing to wait for half an hour's response from a nurse. A nurse will come in and say, "I don't do that," or "I need somebody else to help me," and you wait another half an hour, and an hour to two hours to wait for help is unacceptable.

Providence Benedictine Nursing Center is big. It's wonderful. It's a very good nursing home. When my husband got here, they gave him a shower, and he hadn't had one for a year. They didn't have the manpower to do it at the place we were at, so when they gave him a shower here, I was so excited. He's got a real shower and the people are just extra special about everything they do. I go home at night and know he's being cared for, not scared. So many things happened to him up at that other place. All in all, I'm just very happy to have him here. It's a Catholic area and we are Catholic. He loves it. They have a chapel, so he will be able to attend the masses once a week. There are buildings and huge parking lots all around it. You can tell Catholic nuns took care of it because it's in immaculate shape, but it's old. It's nice. They've got dining areas all over and people can come out to it and eat, if they want to watch TV or if they just want to come out of their rooms in their wheelchairs. It's just a beautiful place. Everybody is very kind and loving.

My mom has been in Providence Benedictine Nursing Center. It's just a little, small community, and everybody knows everybody there. So she knows some people that are already there. So she was helped a lot. This is one level, which helps a lot, and makes it easier for her. Her room is very nice. She likes the food. The staff seems to be very nice and pleasant. It's very clean.
