"My father, Virgil D., was a resident at this facility. It was a very emotional and scary ordeal for me to turn my Father over into someone else's care. From day one I felt at ease. The facility is very clean and nicely decorated. My father has passed away, but the relationships I built with the caregivers has lasted beyond his stay at the facility. As difficult as it was to have my father admitted to a facility, I know it was the right thing for his safety, and I know he couldnt have been in better hands. "

"This facility is like most others of its ilk. High cost for low quality. The nursing staff of this and all nursing/post hospital care facilities are very much under-educated. The "nursing staff" are really just LPNs-9 month trained individuals with limited education. An LPN is a person who has gone to a technical school to learn HOW to do something but not why or what. LPNs have been entrusted to jobs that other healthcare staff are forced to have degrees for. The respiratory therapy services are practically non-exhistent, the therapist shows up in high heels, mini skirts, covered in cologne while she spends here time at the nurses desk socializing and telling tales of her "drinking" escapades. She is quite baldy in her speech. IF she shows up in your room it is to do nothing or to share infection. The doctors rarely show, patients are at the mercy of limited educated PAs. The staff have no quelms about telling you how wrong you are or just basically treating you like you do not exist. A call light is an indication for staff to run the other way. One of 20 people on the floor may have sympathy enough to answer a call light. LPNs have been turned loose to give medications, work with artificial airways, suction people, etc. I would never put a family member in any of these horrid facilities. I was there to visit a friend, his family is trying desperately to get him out. Many in the facilities are practically held hostage by the healthcare system and insurances. "

"My father got really sick, and I just didn't have the time to care for him because of working full time. I reserched several nursing homes around my area, so that my dad would be close to my house and be treated good. With all the research I did I finally decided on Golden Living Center. I think it's safe to say that my dad and I are very pleased with are decison. The Golden Living Center has very friendly staff that help my dad feel happy everyday. On my visits there dad always has a smile on his face, and the nurses always greet me as soon as they see me. My dad tells me that it's nice clean place to stay and he feels at home there. I love that they have private phone lines in the room, so if they do turn out to be mean my dad can call me. They also have televison in the rooms, so dad doesn't have to miss Green Acres show. They also have hair dressers at the Golden Living Center,so dad can get his hair cut whenever he needs it. Dad's made a lot of friends since living at the Living Center, and it helps me out a lot not having to worry about him while I'm at work. "

"Sweetbriar was nice, pretty, and clean. The staff was more than helpful, answered questions, and made follow up phone calls. The dining area was nice."

"Dunbar Center is good, but the price is too high for me to stay there. It is a nursing home, and my husband had therapy there every day. The people were very friendly and very nice. The room he had was a semi-private although the room he has now has more room in it than here. They have activities like bingo and church services. They have all kinds of things every day. He never complained about the food, and he thought it was really good. I checked the menu a lot of times, and they had a very good menu. The main thing is tht it is close to home, and he was in there under Medicare, but when Medicare quit helping, I had to move him somewhere I could afford. "

"The staff are very nice and seem to take really good care of the residents. The residents really seem to love the facility and the staff.There were residents that were bed ridden and I did not see any bedsores. The residents said they played games and that the food was good. While I was there the staff was ready to help the residents in anyway possible one gentleman wanted a drink every few minutes and there was always a staff member ready to give him some more to drink. One lady seemed to possibly have dementia and she was also bed ridden I talked with her for a long time and several times staff members came in to check on her and talked to her when she insisted that she was 18, asked if her dress was pretty and that her pillow was a piano they smiled and told her that she played beautiful and she looked beautiful. If I had to put a family member in a nursing home this would be the one I choose and I would rest assured they were well taken care of and that the staff was qualified and attentive. "

"My mother was moved to Stonerise Charleston for rehab. The facility is extremely nice. It's understaffed, but everywhere is understaffed at this point. There's just not enough staff to go around. She was in another skilled facility in Charleston previously, in comparison, this is more like an upscale hotel. She has her own private room, private TV, private bathroom, and it's all updated. It's a very nice facility. My mom had eaten the food and she's very picky. Right now because they're on lockdown, they're keeping them all in their rooms. The insurance is paying for the 20 days. Right now, no visitors are allowed and they're not doing any activities, they only let them eat in the dining room. As far as the communication, it's pretty poor. I have heard that they have a great outcome as far as their therapy and getting people back where they were. That was one of the main reasons why we chose to put her there."

"My sister-in-law has moved into Angel's Touch Care Home. We chose this place because of recommendations. Overall, it's excellent. I like the care given to her, the food, and all the personal attention she gets. The staff was excellent. The facility is very nice. It's clean and decorated nicely as if you're living at home. They will take them out and do different trips, like a field trip, but the patients that are there right now are bedfast, so they don't go anywhere. They have a family room that has a large screen TV with lift chairs that they can go into and mingle with if they want to. But it's a maximum of three patients in this personal care home."

"My mother was taken to Oak Ridge Center, and it's a good facility. It has lots of room and it's very clean. The staff is friendly. They can request a private room if they want, but my mom is in a shared room. They have group activities inside, but I know nothing about it. There's an activities area but nothing else. They are allowing visitations at the moment. Her stay is being covered by Medicaid, and she is staying for long-term care."

"My experience with Edgewood Summit was good. It's very clean, except that they allow people to smoke. The food is fair, and the staff is excellent. There's a salon, exercise room, and activities, like bingo, corn hole, golf putting, dances, and so on."

"I was at the facility and was greeted nicely... The place was clean and the residents were ingaged in exercise activity... They seemed to be clean and there was no smell of incontinense.. which is a good thing.. I seen two workers interacting with the people that lived there.. I thought the place was nice , clean and friendly..GREAT VISIT "

"My husband is in Braley Care Homes right now. The staff is very helpful. They are friendly, and they take very good care of him. The rooms are just like two regular bedrooms, but very comfortable. The food is great. It is home cooked. The dining room is fine and big. They have activities like balloon toss, and they have group activities Mondays through Fridays for the residents. They have an activities director. I like that it is a dementia-Alzheimer's unit, and it is like a home. The residents are free to go into their bedroom, or they can just walk around out in the living area. They are not expected to stay in their rooms all the time. "

"My mother spent the last 5 months of her life here and becsuse of her nurses and director Robin, I knew she was loved and cared for.When I dropped in a day early, my mothers room was neat as a pin, her family photo was by her befside, and she had matching clothes on It mattered little to her, but it does to me.Glasgow let us borrow her wheelchair for Mom's last outing, and they gave me supplies in case she needed them. I got updates frequently, and the nurses tried all they could to make her time there enjoyable.It did not feel like a hospital, but like a school.Familiar and not too big. I am so glad Mom was cared for by Glasgow Rehab."

"Dream home cares about their resident, it is small place, they have RN/LPN in their shift every day, very cheap, owned locally, welling to work with the family especially about money,, food is very good, the place is very cleaned I recommend it for any body looking for a good home. "
