What this means for your family
St. Patrick's Residence is highly regarded for its compassionate, faith-based environment and is a strong choice for families seeking a supportive, long-term care setting. However, because a few reviewers have noted inconsistencies in nursing care and responsiveness, we recommend that you visit in person and ask specifically about staff-to-resident ratios and how the facility handles communication during concerns.

While the majority of reviews are highly positive, some families have reported concerns regarding inconsistent care quality, responsiveness, and the facility's older physical infrastructure. Prospective families should weigh the strong reputation for staff kindness against the specific negative experiences regarding communication and care standards.”

Key Review Excerpts
“The Carmelite Sisters and the staff took care of my Mom's bodily needs as well as her spiritual needs with loving care. They were also a tremendous support to my family and I.”
“The staff is open to suggestions and contacts me if there is a concern. As a nurse I’m always checking to see the facility and staff are doing the right thing for my mom and I’m happy to say yes!”
“My 88-year-old mother was at St. Patricks for rehab for a broken hip/surgery... I give St. Patricks, Sister Anthony, and the entire staff a 10-star review for the loving care they have given my mother and the support and transparency they have given me and my siblings.”
