Both Mom and Dad have been residents at Ware for several years in the Skilled Nursing unit and assisted living side (Dad)! The love and care provided by the staff is amazing! I’m so happy they are cared for and treated with dignity and respect!

Mom was at Ware Presbyterian Village for rehab and we were not pleased with the care staff. There was really nothing about it that was a good experience. I thought they were very understaffed. She had fallen twice in their care. The meals were cold. It's a beautiful facility, but I don't think they cleaned it enough (I think that was because of staffing issues, too).

My mother died from exposure to Covid fr staff as family was not to visit. I wasn’t told she tested positive despite ring on phone with nurses and director of nursing day she was sent to red zone. Her belongings were strewn in trash bags across floor of another resident’s room . Many of her prized belongings were never given to me. I was on campus couple months ago and was blown away by the expansion of the property- apartments, carriage houses etc… all beautiful buildings. Then I saw the dilapidated Health Center. Felt like residents there don’t warrant nice surroundings and dining room looks spartan. An outside area has a tent that has holes on it and is falling apart. There are big trash commercial containers for residents to see as well as flammable tank. Food used to be fantastic back in ‘08 years. During unending quarantine, was fun and vibrant in the great room. Since renovations were done, great room is not used. Residents needs were not taken into consideration. But it looked fresh and impracticable. Staffing is a constant concern and around 2018-2020 so much turnover in upper management. No consistent leadership as there was 10 years ago. It’s very disconcerting how a wonderful place caring for seniors has deteriorated this much over the years.

What I like best about Ware Presbyterian Village is that they had a lot of activities for the seniors. They put the effort in on that. My mother does not participate in them though and I can't do anything about that. What I liked least about the tour was that I didn't see any residents. The residents seem to be all closed off from everybody. Compared to the other places where they were milling around the facility. I don't know what the story was there, whether the people were allowed to have more freedom or not. I don't know about the amount of freedom they're allowed. I toured their assisted living and the person I toured with was fine but I didn't see any other staff there. There were no other people and I didn't know where they were. I didn't meet anyone else, they weren't available. They have a lot more people that are independent living and they have a pool, a fitness gym, exercise classes, and they have someone that comes in to do exercise classes. For someone interested in that, this place would be great for them. It's near restaurants but they also have their own food facilities. It's right on the outskirts of town. You can drive there in a quarter a mile.

I wish I could post a photo of my mother's carpet. She's been at Ware for ~ 20 years and the carpet has never been replaced. She received a letter, some time ago, stating that if she wanted any new carpeting she would have to (at her own expense) pack up her house, move all her belongings to storage, and stay at a motel while the carpet was replaced! Outrageous! Equally outrageous is when my 90 something mother has to take care of her own mowing and/or snow shoveling, because it gets left undone by Ware. Occasionally there will be a meeting scheduled, to discuss residents' issues. Meeting guidelines (for those I heard about) stated that they would be hearing "compliments only". Problems or complaints couldn't even be voiced. Initially Ware was wonderful, but ALL services have declined over time (well before Covid). And yet, the monthly maintenance fees continue to rise each year. Presbyterian Senior Living seems indifferent to honoring their responsibilities to their residents.

Ware Presbyterian Village is really good because my church is right down the street from it. Location wise, it is perfect. There's food shopping. There's a Wal-Mart, and my church is there. There's a lot going on in town during the summer. The independent living is more in my line because I'm only 60 years old. The apartment that I'm looking at and the building itself is 55 or older. If it so happens that my health starts deteriorating, I can move from that apartment into assisted living right across the street from this apartment building. The staff was very good. They have one-bedroom apartments. The best part about it was the bathrooms. They had a walk-in shower, instead of having a bathtub that you had to lift your legs up and then go in. For the gentlemen, they have like a woodworking shop if you were into that kind of stuff. They have like community rooms that you can actually walk to or have somebody wheelchair you over to.

The care was good but do not expect to get all belongings returned to you when the resident passes. We were not allowed to get my Mother's belongs at her time of death. Due to Covid19 we were not allowed in her room. A month later boxes were given to us. My mother's name was on her belongings. A crocheted afghan I made for my mother many years ago which can never be replaced was kept along with her electric lift chair, regular walker and a walker with wheels. When questioned the answer was they did not know what happened to them so we would not be able to get them back. My advise is to remove any thing you want returned before your loved one passes away.

Ware Presbyterian Village's individual cottages were very well laid out and the maintenance was very nice. The landscaping outside was very nice and the people we met were very friendly. It seemed like they have a lot of activities, but the one thing they lack is a swimming pool.

We chose Ware Presbyterian Village for my father because it was closer. It's certainly something I would recommend to somebody. It just felt like such a warm and welcoming place. They took their time with us, showed us everything, and answered any questions we had. We just felt like my father would like it there and it felt like home. It's just been a wonderful experience so far and everyone could not be nicer. My dad is in a good place. They've got a pool, a workout room, a putting green, and several little garden areas. It's wonderful and they have a lot of activities for my dad to participate in.

My mother, who turned 100 last month, has been in rehab at Ware. To say that she had poor care is an understatement. The family had to repeatedly ask for a conference (5 phone messages and 20 phone calls), she didn't receive 4 of her medications (including her heart medicine), they forgot to feed her breakfast and didn't serve the food from the menu that she and the dietitian worked on, lost some of her clothes and one of the staff grabbed her arm as she was going towards the bathroom and said "you're not moving fast enough." There seems to be no management and no one seems to know what's going on.

Ware Presbyterian Village was a beautiful community. It’s very clean and accessible. A lot of attention was given to making sure that the residents are comfortable and get what they need; they have ease of access. They have brand new apartments as well so that is very beautiful. Overall, it’s very nice. Their food is good. The staff was OK. With regard to their activities I know they have a pool and exercise classes.

Ware Presbyterian Village is kind of homey. It’s cottage-type and surrounded by some rural areas. The staff is very friendly, very helpful, and try to do whatever they can to please you. I saw the menu and talked to some people who have eaten there and were pleased. They have a fitness center, a swimming pool, and a library. I thought everything just kind of fell into place, so I was very pleased with it.

We are very satisfied with Ware Presbyterian Village. We were satisfied with what we ate at their cafeteria; though it is not the food that they serve to their patients. The staff were very good, and caring. They have activities like bingo, and a lot of other different things.

My daughter has been at Ware Presbyterian Village for almost 3 years, and I’ve been there plenty. It’s close, and the administration is very friendly. Most of the staff are good people. It’s an older place; they’ve been upgrading and building other parts to it. My daughter is in an older part. I don’t mind the oldness of it; it has more of a homey feeling. The food doesn’t look bad. I made a friend there, and she’s my adopted mother; she really likes the bingo. I know they have a bell-ringing thing, and my daughter likes to get out and listen to that. They could play music in the halls for the people so it’s more friendly.

We’ve eaten at Ware Presbyterian and we talked to the residents there. We liked the facility a lot. The staff is very friendly and very knowledgeable. The grounds are very nice and well kept.
