What this means for your family

While long-term families have historically praised the staff, the facility has received very concerning reports recently regarding basic safety and medical coverage. If you are considering this facility, you must conduct an unannounced visit and specifically ask for written documentation regarding their 24-hour nursing staffing levels and emergency power protocols.

Questions for Your Tour

  • 1Given that your staff is frequently praised for their long-term dedication, how do you ensure that same level of consistent, personalized attention for new residents?
  • 2Since I’ve noticed there isn't 24-hour nursing coverage on-site, could you walk me through your protocol for handling medical needs or emergencies that arise during the overnight hours?
  • 3I understand that balancing nutritional needs and variety can be a challenge; what steps is the culinary team currently taking to improve the dining experience and menu options for residents?
  • 4Could you share how you involve families in the care planning process to ensure communication remains as proactive and transparent as it was during the pandemic?
  • 5What specific daily activities or engagement programs do you have in place to support residents, and how do you tailor these to different levels of cognitive or physical ability?
  • 6With your current capacity of 94 residents, how do you maintain a close-knit community feel while ensuring every individual receives the specific care they require?

Key Review Excerpts

Mom has been a resident, for 2+ years and has been looked after expertly and kindly, all thru Covid I have had no qualms. The staff is caring and kind.

Long-term resident's family · 2022★★★★★

This is one of the worst places I have seen and what they do NOT do for their clients. Were without electricity including heat for almost 24 hours. There is no nurse on duty 24 hours. It is hard to reach a doctor!
