Peroni Personal Care Home

the aides are constantly on their phones and not paying attention to the residents. Some are just plain lazy and have no compassion for the residents. My uncle started going down hill due to lack of care so we moved him to another home where he is doing much better. You cant find help when it is needed cause the aides are on their cell phones. Very disappointed and do not recommend this place at all.

Please reconsider before putting a family member in this home. My family member was not treated respectfully and always had items missing. The arrest records of some of the staff is shocking.

Very concerned about the care being provided at this facility. There is animal feces on the floor, found a banana peel under the bed of the roommate of our loved one, it had to have been there for sometime. Smells of urine throughout the hall, rooms are very small, all the residents were packed in one of the larger rooms and there was not an employee within eye sight. Had to search for a caregiver for over 15 minutes only to find 2 which appeared to be taking a break at the same time. In just a little over 3 months our loved one has quickly deteroriated we ar currently looking for an alternative, plan on switching facilities as soon as possible, I suggest you just avoid. Very disappointed.

We walked through Peroni Personal Care Home. They had better value for the money, but you had to give on a few things. There you had roommates for most of the rooms and shared bathrooms, which was different than the individual apartments where my mother lived previously. They didn't have the point system for payment which made it a lot easier for folks. And whatever care you needed was included in the one price. I just find the layout to be a little confusing for me. We didn't have a staff tour us, we just walked around. It was lunchtime and the staff were busy, so we just walked around. They have very limited outdoor spaces. I know they had a schedule of activities just like every other place seems to. There were several areas within the facility where tables were set up and everyone seemed to know their area to go to for the meal. And that's one of the things I didn't like. It is an old building and has several hallways and rooms, and so part of the larger rooms was used for dining as well. It didn't feel spic and span clean, but it wasn't dirty. And it wasn't modern. If you're looking at cost-effectiveness, and it's within their price range, it's probably good. I think it's adequate for the area and what they're trying to accomplish. It's not my cup of tea, but my mother was fine with it. It was clean and nothing appeared to be broken.

Peroni Personal Care Home has a happy and homey atmosphere, and it is only four miles from home, so we visit my husband every day. He moved there a couple of weeks ago. It's assisted living, but he has hospice nurses who come in as well. The owner has a golden retriever that she brings in, and they go around and visit with the patients. My mother was in one ten years ago, and it wasn't this personal. They have small tables in the dining room. It's not a very big dining room. The care is one on one and I like that. He gets help with his bathing, shaving, and everything. The facility is nice, there's no smell of urine or anything, and I like it because it's a homey place. I like that they have a porch where they can go out and sit on the swing. Our daughter took him out for a ride, so you can take the residents out. We also visit him every day. He uses a little push thing that has a seat on it because he can't stand by himself, and there's always somebody to help him. They all seem to accept him, know him, and call him by name. He gets a little bit cranky sometimes, but they're very nice and he likes it. If he's too hot, they try to accommodate. If he says his bed is too warm, they are always there to do it over and make it comfortable. I like their staff because when I go in, they always say hi. They seem to make it their business to know who's coming and going, and the personal touch is always there. I go up and sit with him at lunchtime because he's very difficult. He's lost his appetite and he's on medication trying to stimulate it, but nothing tastes good to him. He's pretty critical but they try very hard to make him eat. I see that the food is pretty good too. Every Wednesday they have a guy who comes in to sing, play the guitar, and entertain them. I don't know if he will get much out of that, though, because he's so hard of hearing.

Sad, frustrated, and concerned

My beloved relative is living here and her family is out of state. We call the facility often and they have never answered us. They do not answer their phone. We have zero contact with our family member because of this. Zero. She was placed here with the help of non-family who have POA over her. This is a heart-wrenching situation for us.
