little big foot

I am a currant resident at this place, and I don't see what compkain about. I mean it. I've been here for 5 years, and in that time, this place has changedstaff is nicer. ALOT. Most of the old staff left[thank god] And the new staff is nicer.. Even the food is getting better. Pt really puts you through the ringer, but their good. Activities does pretty good with what they have to work with. And I love my room. There is no way I would ever give up my room. So thank you to silver stream. The grass is not always greener on the other side

my father in law is in this facility and Idon't think we could have made a better choice. He talks to almost everyone we walked by which was unusal for him. When he was home he pretty much stayed to himself. We had brought him some things from Burger King Which he ate, rhen turned around and ate everything off his tray. Ididn't know he could eat that much. The aid said he eats 2 trays sometimes. She said he'll do that if you don't rush him and let him finish. She said he gained 12 lbs since he's been there. The staff are really nice. When I asked the nurse how he was she filled me in on how he was.. Staff went with him to doctors appointments. His roommate plays cards with him. They watch the ball games together. They go sit on the patio[he's getting a better tan then me] He still loves to sit and read his books, but he gets out. And I think he's comfortable

I have an uncle that is in silver stream and I really believe he is happy there. He gets up at his usual time and gets washed and dressed. and what he can't do the nurses help him. He still shaves himself every day. He says he likes the food cause he can get hot dogs whenever he wants. [He loves hot dogs] He goes out on the patio when he wants. He just doesn't like it when people smoke. He can watch his ball games on his tv.. He says he can't really talk to his roommate cause he doesn't understand, but he claps when someone hits a home run. he says the lady next door to him is pretty funny. Like she's always playing jokes on the staff and it's really funny I have never seen him laugh so hard. He says he always wins at bingo and gets to buy his soda. And he gets to read his books. The important thing is that he's happy there and I think that says everything..............

my sister lives at this place and i don't think she would want to live anywhere else. she likes the rood she eats [and the fruit that she gets] the staff are really good with her. she has an offset sense of humor and the staff work with that. her room is nice and cozy since she has all her stuff hanging up that she made she has her own room , but you can hear the noises from other rooms and it sounds just like when we wee growing up. she pretty much washes herself and what she can't do the staff help her. she keeps herself busy with the stuff she like to do so she really is happy where she is.

don was really nice some of the staff were walking around in slippers one lady kept yelling in the hallway then threatened another resident she was going to beat him with a baseball bat and some lady went around screaming in Spanish. they really should be getting outside but there are people out there smoking and some people can"t handle the smoke. the food is pretty good they said someone suggested a bbq (good idea) and someone was going to bring their dog in for them which was good. The place looks kind of run down or someone doesn"t know how to decorate.

I have a relative in this facility and Silverstream is NOT the place you want rehab or nursing care. Not all, but most of the nurses, aides, administrators there are rude and unprofessional. I have been: given fake names when asked, hung up on by nurses, given incorrect information, and been yelled at by the nurses. Call bells are ignored for hours, resident allowed to sit in soiled bed and garments for hours. There is no one to answer the phone at the nursing station if they are all away from the desk. Especially when meals are being distributed. I was told that the distribution of meals takes priority over a resident's call bell because the meals are from an outside vendor and they have to get the trays distributed and collected within a certain amount of time. A resident could be having a medical issue and they would be ignored. My relative has also been told some pretty nasty things as well and treated "unkindly." They would not adhere to a Power of Attorney for my relative's healthcare. If I could give it lower than one star, I would.

My wife is in the Silver Stream Center. We just came back, it's the first time we were there today, and it's pretty nice. They did a good job with her. The staff was very nice; everybody there was so nice. We had to go outside to visit her on the patio. It's very nice and clean. It's an older place, but they do a lot of work; it's a stone building.

My mother was here and they helped her get back to the level that she needed to be at to go to an assisted living. The staff were honest and upfront about her level of care and didn't try to convince me to get my mom to stay there to get her money. She went here for rehab after a broken hip. Therapy was great. Food could have been better.

My grandfather was brought right from the hospital to Silver Stream Center, but no one had asked me about him and no one addressed me to say what was going on. Although, I did get a call from the social worker about his prognosis and they let me know how he was doing. When I first came to this facility, I didn't think the place was well-maintained. My first impression was I didn't like it. My grandfather liked the food, but I don't think he is completely satisfied with them, too.

A very old, and rather charming building draws you as you first arrive. Due to it's age, there seems to be constant work being done to either the outside structure or the inside. The staff is welcoming and friendly upon arrival. I was able to meet with one of the social workers, and it was obvious he was under stress doing double duty since there is was a critical situation with short staffing.The staff appeared to be be crunching to get everything done....but they seem to not allow this to effect their ooncern for the residents. The little interchange I was able to witness showed care and friendliness combined with professional skills. This facility is kept clean and the staff seems to be determined to make things work so the residents are kept happy.
