Kent Regency Center

My sister is at a nursing facility at Kent Regency Center. She's doing long-term there right now, and she seems to feel comfortable there. She needs some care to be able to take her medications regularly. She is not in the best physical shape, but she is capable of participating in activities and things like that, so she felt comfortable there because of the location, and it is easy access to visit. The care has been very good. The communication has been good, and as long as that continues, we're OK to stay then. The place is clean. The food is basically good. My sister doesn't complain too much, and when she does complain, they're very attentive to the complaints. I just think they're understaffed, and sometimes it can be a little bit trying because they can't maybe get showers as often as they would like to. But that happens everywhere in the medical field right now - the understaffing. All the people that work there have been very nice and very pleasant. No real issues with people. She seems to eat all her meals, but sometimes it's cold or something like that. They do have activities. They have games, bingo, and they have like somebody come around to paint their fingernails. They let them make beads and stuff like that, and she likes to participate. The upkeep is good. The rooms are small. I think the rooms could be bigger because they have roommates, so it is kind of small, but it is pretty much kept up very nice.

My mom is in Kent Regency for rehab. It's kind of challenging because you can't go in there, so I'm just communicating with them the best that I can. So far, so good, and they got her up now. It's just a challenging time. They get back to you, it's just taking a little time, but they seem very nice, and I think everybody's doing the best that they can. The only thing they have that's different from the other places is it's all one floor, so you can actually go up to the window where your person is, and you can see them in the window and talk to them, which is really nice.
