Daughter of Current Resident

I am a daughter of a current resident - my mom. I think that her room is very nice and I feel like she's happy in assisted living. The staff is very caring and helpful and they are easy to interact with. They have plenty of things for the residents to do and a beautiful safe garden where they can sit and enjoy themselves. Every once in a while they are understaffed but that is expected at times as people call in sick, etc. Overall I feel comfortable with my mom being there and I feel she is being treated well. I would recommend the Assisted Living facilities.

Norwegian Christian Home & Health Center is very nice. It's like a home and had a very warm atmosphere. The people, the tour person was very nice and the staff was nice. It was a nice facility, they had a garden that people go out into. They also had activities somewhat limited due to Covid, but the people seemed happy. And in assisted living, they had the freedom to move around so we also liked it. The person who assisted me was helpful, friendly, answered my questions, was happy to show us around, and gave us good information. The facility wasn't as modernized as the other one we toured, but it was clean.

I went to Norwegian Christian Home, and my girlfriend tells me that they're very caring and attend to their residents. It was very immaculate and the staff was unbelievable. I saw the administration who was in charge, she took me through the tour, she was awesome, and explained everything to me. Once the application is all filled and I have all the paperwork, I'll go to her to set up the appointment. She's been very helpful.

Norwegian Christian Home and Health Center was very nice and very clean. We were very impressed by it. The staff and the rooms seemed to be very nice. We’ve heard from other people that had used them, and they were very satisfied with them. Location is a little far away from where my mother is now.

Norwegian Christian Home and Health Center felt more like an old-fashioned type of nursing home, and it wasn’t really accessible. They had a beautiful courtyard with a beautiful pond, but it didn’t seem to be very well utilized. The rooms were almost like hospital rooms. They were larger rooms but not very well appointed. They had a little café area that was nice and pleasant. There were people eating there; they could get snacks, too, which was really nice. I think the staff had a good deal of longevity there. Most of the staff had been working there for easily 20 to 30 years.

My family was extremely lucky to have been given a room at this facilty for my mother. We did not realize until she was in, how much her AD had progressed. At home, she was able to function better because she was familiar with her surroundings. The administration and staff of Norwegian were always there for us. The only thing I wish that was told to me personally was how the end of AD can be so brutal. Also, I believe there should be more facilities that cater to the middle stages of AD.

The staff are okay; they are not very attentive of the residents. They can be rough with them and withhold residents' possessions, like glasses or hearing aids. The living conditions are acceptable and clean.

Wonderful and clean facility. Very nice people. My mother-in-law started out at the Assisted Living Facility because she needed people around her all day and more care. Unfortunately, family worked and therefore, we had to put her in this Assisted Living Facility. She did well for a while and then she needed even more care because she said she couldn't do certain things, etc....we then eventually got her into the Nursing Home section of same facility. The only negative was that within the first week, the Aide either forgot or neglected to put the bars up on my mother-in-law's bed and she wound up falling out of bedand breaking her hip which required surgery. Additionally, she has not walked since and was afraid to do so following this incident. She is still in the Norwegian Christian Home and and we consider it a terrible accident and something that cannot be undone. She is getting good care and doing relatively well considering her age. Our family WOULD recommend this Facility.
