St Antoine Residence

My husband is in St. Antoine Residence in the rehab area. They're giving him OT and PT because he got very, very sick. The staff members are wonderful. I can't say a bad word about a single person, whether it's a person giving out meds or the person delivering the meals, or getting them dressed or any of that. They're all wonderful. They truly come to work and they love what they're doing. All their rooms used to be doubles and now they are all singles, so it's easy to have company. That's a plus, and it's nice. It's not like going to a hotel or anything, but they've got a bed, a recliner, and a table that goes with the bed for eating. They have a TV. They've got a telephone, but my husband doesn't use telephones. They have everything. If they need anything, there's a little kitchen area where I can go get him an extra drink or something like that if he needs it. The food is pretty good. If ever there's something that you don't like, you can always get a salad, chicken, or something else. They have come in and encouragee him for activities, but he is still recovering from the pneumonia.

My parents have moved into St Antoine Residence. It's convenient for me and my family to go see them. It is one of the most reputable nursing homes in our area. And because it's Catholic, and my parents are Catholic, they can go to church every single day if they'd like. They have a full medical team on their staff, like doctors and nurses. They have physical therapy. Today I went there and there was bingo at 2:00, and they had music on some days. There are all kinds of entertainment. The food is really good there. They have an actual real chef, so the food is great. My father has dementia, and they take care of him. They place my parents in the same room, so one is dementia, and one doesn't. The staff is very friendly, very nice and very, very knowledgeable. I have not tried their meals, but I've seen the meals and they looked delicious and smelled great. They have bingo, they play with balloons, they have dancing, they have news, and they have a guy that comes and plays music.

My father was in St. Antoine Residence for rehab. I liked it there, he liked the atmosphere, the setting, and the people. The only complaint that he had was, just like everywhere else, there's not enough staff at nighttime. He had a nice, spacious single room, and he had plenty of room in there. The staff members were all very nice, very friendly, and they worked with him. So, he was very happy with the people. It was paid for by Medicare, so he didn't pay anything out of pocket.

My dad was at St. Antoine Residence. It was very nice. The staff was quite good. The only time I felt they were a little bit short-staffed was at lunch time when there were quite a few residents who needed help either being fed or coaxed into eating. They could use a little more help at that time. However, for the most part, they had enough staff. The staff members were very nice and the whole place was nice. They had plenty of nurses available, too. The rooms could be a little bigger. My dad ended up dying there, so it would have been nice if he was in a larger room at the time. There was a big living room right outside his room. When he wasn't very sick, we could visit and take him out into the living room, which was very nice. I like the fact that they had a chapel. There were a lot of religious components, which was very nice. It is also located beautifully with lovely grounds. They had lots of activities. They had bingo, movies, church and the rosary, singing groups, and happy hour. The music part was very good; my dad went to that a couple of times.

St Antoine was absolutely gorgeous. It's in the middle of the woods with beautiful grounds and wonderful staff. They were very caring and friendly, and more than willing to sit down and discuss any concerns you might have. They have multiple little cafeteria sections at the end of each hallways and they bring the food to the room if the resident wasn't able to come out on their own. They have church every Sundays, and the food is good as well. Most of the nursing home rooms were doubles, and the assisted living rooms were apartments. I couldn't say enough good things about them.

St. Antonine's is an over-priced, understaffed facility where there is not much care for the residents. If there is staff available, I have never seen them. Dinner mainly consists of a sandwich - tonight was Bologna - with one slice of meat. They do not seem to care about their residents as is evident when my mother tries to get help. For $12,000 a month, she should have her own caretaker and get decent meals. This facility is a joke.
