Reformed Presbyterian Home

Kspiet

My mom was in this facility for rehab due to a fall. I was not satisfied with the care she received. Every time I or someone visited her, she was in bed. Never saw her out of bed. When her meal was brought, no one assisted her with eating or cutting her food. Staff was most times not readily available and when pressed call button, you wait for a response. Staff was curt, at times downright nasty with attitude. On one occasion a staff member walked into her room looking for something, she did not acknowledge my mom or us. One morning my family and I walked in and found my mom in a state of undress with her door open for all to see. I felt as if no one checked on her. My mom was sent out to the hospital and no one bothered to inform her family of this. Unacceptable. Also, her glasses, heating aides, and cell phone were left on her bed table. Found her call button wrapped in a towel and in a trash bag on the stand next to the bed where my mom could not reach it. Seems to me she was being silenced. Also noted she was always tired. My mom was moved to another facility that took awesome care of her, treated her with dignity, respect, and genuinely cared about her well being. I agree the place could use some brightening up.

Physically, Reformed Presbyterian Home is in an older part of North Hill or the north side. I haven't been there in 45 years, but it seems it's in a bit run-down area. The building was built in 1891, I believe parts of it, and then newer sections were built in the 1980s. So, it's an older facility and it's run by the Presbyterians. It's been around for a long time. It's an adequate place, but I'm just a little nervous just because of the area it's in. It's hard to get to because of the old roads, and the area is sort of rundown. But still, it's not too bad. The people have been pretty nice. It's on multi-tiered levels because it's sort of sitting on the side of a hill. The prices are pretty reasonable, as far as that kind of thing goes. The only problem for my brother would be access, and this is sort of a lot of ways back from where we were looking. Overall, I think they did a pretty good job of presenting it. Julie gave us the information. She did a really good job. We weren't there at lunchtime, so we didn’t see what was going on there for that. The facility was clean, just sort of worn, that's all. I think it'd be more like just upgrading things like painting the walls and maybe putting some more carpet and things like that. Their dining rooms pretty. Their like any other place, they like to give tours and stuff and help people.

The Upper Rooms is a newly built twenty-six unit complex that is located just behind the Reformed Presbertarian Home on Perrysville Ave on the North Side of town. All new appliances including a glasstop stove, refrigerator and central air & heat. There are handicap & assisted care living and nursing home facilities. Nursing care and housekeeping for those who are unable to do so for themselves. There is a cafe on the newest addition as well as a barber/beauty shoppe on the premises and a beautiful patio complete with tables chairs and benches. There is a full service laundry room and a community room with a computer and television. The bus takes the patrons out twice a week to the mall and supermarkets. It is conveniently located on the Perrysville bus line which is accessible to downtown Pittsburgh within minutes. I have been a resident since June, there may have been a few insignicant gliches but they have been addressed quickly. The smaller community makes it an ideal place to live. I would give it a ten rating it is one of the best.
