Nurses and helpers are nice. Food is good. Friendly community. Everyone has dementia so it is a gooplace for people to find friends that are similar to them. My initial impression where everyone were gathered together, it smelled like feces. However, the second day, I did not smell that. Perhaps the first day someone hD an accident? The patients with dementia are very friendly. They offer a lifelike doll to some people. They have a beauty shop where you can get a haircut. Their front door locks at 7 pm, but they are happy to let you in as a visitor if you call the number posted on the dooors. Everyone seemed happy to be there except my Momwho wants to age in place. Although we told her it was a short term rehabilitation for her to get stronger and an opportunity for us to make her house safer. She forgot what we said and three minutes later, she thought she was an old folks home and she thought no one wanted her. She begged and begged to be taken out of that place and to be taken to her house or my house It was tragic. They let you stay there for as long as you want if you are young. But if you are a spouse and old And they feel like they need to take care of both the spouse Use and the patient then they won’t let you stay the night. If you are young, they allow you to spend the night or stay as long as you want. I felt super stressed out, Because my beautiful mom begged to come home with me, and I had no choice, but to leave her there as I was not the medical power of attorney and her house was not safe to go to yet because it had stairs and she couldn’t get up and down then. We checked craigslist and found a used electric stair chair. We are furiously trying to modify her house to make it safe as soon as possible so that she can go home. But this is not a reflection upon the Institute. The rehab place got five stars. Next time, instead of picking up by the stars, I would actually visit the place before I placed my mother in it. That being said, I think it is a great place to be temporarily in For Physical and occupational therapy For the short term.

It's good to see my loved one groomed and looking well. The staff has been so cooperative in assisting with my questions about his need and care. It has made the transition for him and myself a lot easier.

The people or staff. Were very kind and friendly. The person I went to we worked together some 50 years ago as lifeguards on the Atlantic ocean of the coast of New Jersey. We worked about 10 years together When I showing pictures to my friend a few of the staff came over and enjoyed them just he didn’t remember, but I think they will probably talk to him about them. Your people made me feel good and relaxed. It just sad what my friend is going through and all of the other patience.
