My father was brought here after an acute rehab setting, as he needed additional help. At first we thought this place was going to be great and it appeared as though everyone was organized and very on top of things. After a week, we pulled my dad out of there as he was mentally declining and he was not being cared for properly. They are extremely short staffed and you have one nurse for for 22 very sick people. He barely received the therapy services he so desperately needed and since his discharge has declined significantly and had to be re-admitted to the hospital due to a UTI infection. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

The care at Westminster is awesome. It has given me and my husband peace of mind to know that my mother is being cared for. I'm very happy with them. It is a beautiful facility, and it is great. The whole staff is very nice. They have bingo for the residents, and they have people come in to do mini concerts for them. They may play music, or someone may sing. Sometimes like on the holidays they have students come in, and they make Christmas cookies together. The students came in and sang for them. They went around, and all the residents got a little gift from the students that they made. They have a beauty shop which is great. They do manicures for the residents. My mom was kind of upset when she first went in because some of the residents need more intense care than she does. They need help to eat and stuff that was really bothering her. So they created a small group of women that are with it as far as the mind goes. They called it the Golden Girls, and they ate lunch and dinner together in a smaller dining area. It is wonderful. Every time I've been there no matter what time, there's always somebody there checking or cleaning. It is really nice.

This facility sometimes is inconsistent in how much the nurses and attendants are informed from the day to night shift. Some nurses are unaware of changes in medication and other affairs relating to my grandmother. Overall the staff is friendly and the building is easy to locate and inviting. I was impressed by how well managed and clean the facility was, but would have appreciated some more knowlegable staff.

I visited this facility
I have only ever visited this place one time but I had a positive experience. My great aunt was in a section where the people living there needed a lot of assistance as they had different handicaps such as dementia and Alzheimer's as well as a lot of different physical disabilities.I happened to be visiting during recreation time, so the people there that I met seemed to be in a cheerful mood from what I could tell. The staff there was very nice, and they were very attentive. They never strayed from those whom they were supposed to be taking care of for more than a minute.The facilities also seemed to be nice although I did not actually see my great aunt's room. I saw the kitchen and recreational areas. Everything was very clean and the atmosphere was about as positive and cheerful as you could expect from a retirement home/assisted living place. To be honest I am not even sure that my great aunt had a room there because she was dropped off there more as sort of an elderly day care and brought home in the afternoon. She didn't live there but needed assistance in living, period. Which is why she was there every day. Anyway, I believe Westminster Village to be a nice and trustworthy place to bring loved ones. They will receive proper care while they are there and enjoy some sociability with others in their age bracket as well as with their caretakers.
