Silver Creek Manor

My grandfather went to the hospital for aspiration pneumonia, and he is simply recovering at Silver Creek Manor. I would give them a 7 out of a 10. It is not the greatest place, but I am very pleased with their speech therapist. They do have activities; they have a calendar. They need more staff. Some of them go really fast and don't give him too much time. I found a couple of problems where they put my grandfather maybe on the commode and then forgot to put his oxygen back on. It's little things like that; they are not completely on top of everything -- possibly because they are very short of staff and they feel like they have to rush their feet somewhere else.

I went to the Medicare website, and they rated some of the nursing homes in the area as average, above average, and beyond average based on the care and the facility itself, the cleanliness, and the amount of issues they have had, and Silver Creek Manor was rated very high. There were two in Bristol that were rated very high and -- unfortunately -- the other one did not have any openings, but this one did. I am very happy with where my mom is; they are very nice. The staff is great; they are like family. They are so nice, sweet, they take you under their wings as if you are all part of the family, and they are very accommodating. My mom is a very picky eater, but they are doing their best to try to help her and maintain her weight because she has lost a lot of weight. They are doing the best they can with asking her what she wants, making sure she is getting what she wants so that she will eat, they encourage her to eat more, and she has put on some weight lately within the last few weeks. So they are helping in that respect too because they pay attention to it. There are two people in the room, but they both have a bed and a chair and they share a closet, but the closet is a good size as well, and there hasn't been any issue with that. They do Bingo every day, and they have some kind of auctions; they do a lot of activities and stuff -- most of them I found in other places -- so they are very good with that too. They get her up every day to make sure in the afternoon that she does some type of activity. They even have rosaries prayers for the Catholic people who would like to go to that. They have entertainment that comes in and a sing-along or things like that, which is very nice. My mother has been in three different nursing homes just this year alone, and this one outweighs the other two by far. This is the reason why we made a decision to have it long term because they are doing such a great job with her. She has not been sick since she has been in this facility. For some reasons, these people have been able to keep her well, which is amazing. It is nice too because they have enough staff that if you have any need, they are there to help you.
