Questions for Your Tour

  • 1Given your strong reputation for compassionate end-of-life care, how do you ensure that same level of personalized attention and responsiveness for residents in long-term care?
  • 2I noticed some feedback regarding communication and medical documentation; could you walk me through the process for how a family is notified when a change in a resident's health status or an incident occurs?
  • 3With medication management being a critical part of daily health, what specific protocols do you have in place to ensure accuracy and timely administration for residents?
  • 4Could you describe the daily activity schedule and how you tailor these programs to keep residents engaged and connected to the community?
  • 5When a resident requires urgent medical attention, what is the standard procedure for coordinating with local hospitals and keeping the family informed throughout the process?
  • 6Since your staffing rating is quite high, how do you manage shift handoffs to ensure that residents receive consistent care and timely assistance throughout the day and night?

Key Review Excerpts

Matulaitis is in another galaxy in contrast: run by nuns who clearly view long-term care as their calling and staff who treat residents with dignity and compassion.

Long-term resident's family · 2021★★★★★

When she needed hospice care, they provided it and we will always be thankful for the extremely kind and compassionate way they treated her….and us.

Long-term resident's family · 2023★★★★★

On several occasions incidents were not documented which lead to multiple hospitalizations for my dad. If you cannot watch what they are doing with your loved one, do not bring them here.
