What this means for your family

Reformed Church Home is highly regarded for its compassionate staff and clean environment, making it a strong choice for many families. However, given the recurring reports of slow response times in the rehab unit, we recommend asking specifically about their call-bell policy and staffing ratios during weekends and evenings.

Key Review Excerpts

I spent a couple of months in RCH's skilled care before transferring to an RCH assisted living apartment, where I currently reside. I can tell you firsthand that this facility is 100% better, on every level, and blows the others off the map!

Long-term resident · 2024★★★★★

The nursing home staff has always been great during the almost five years that my mom has lived there, but they have went above and beyond since March. Not only are they very responsive to calls and emails, but they also arranged daily FaceTime calls with my mother.

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

My 85-year-old mother was recently admitted to the Skilled Nursing facility following emergency abdominal surgery. She has Parkinson's, so we knew level of care she needed would be intense and complicated. We could not be happier.
