This facility was overall very clean and efficient. There was a community computer in the lobby internet access for the residents. I thought that was nice. The staff was friendly and helpful for the most part. It seemed a bit understaffed which may explain why some staff weren't as friendly. There didn't appear to be much to do but I did notice there was a hair stylist on site on certain days. The food wasn't too bad from what I saw but I never had an opportunity to taste it. The only real complaint I had was that my Aunt was a smoker and smoking wasn't permitted anywhere on the property. I felt that residents should be able to smoke if they wanted to. The outside grounds weren't as nice as they could be. There was weeds growing in places and the lawn needed to be mowed. Housekeeping did a pretty good job of keeping rooms clean, sanitized and neat. Privacy was what was to be expected for a nursing home but it was nice to see that staff would knock before entering a closed door to a private room. There did seem to be a lack of communication between the doctors and nurses and I didn't once see an actual doctor any time I visited. I got the impression that all caretaking by doctors was done via the phone or internet. The cafeteria was cheerful and pleasant. There was no security alarms on any of the doors that I was aware of. I thought this was slightly dangerous as there were residents with dimentia that could have wandered outside without staff being aware. I would suggest this would be changed. The CNA's seemed to be the shining stars of this facility. They always had a smile on their faces making everyone feel welcome and at home which is awesome considering how depressing living in a facility can be. Overall I was pleased with this nursing home.
