There is one immediate drawback to this place: It's located in a high crime and drug use area; there's a liquor store at the bottom of the hill to one side"”and housing projects to the other.
But when you get closer to the facility, it looks like a cute brick house with rockers on the porch and flowering trees outside. Inside on the left are offices; on the right is a sitting room with a big screen TV and good furniture.
There are centralized nurses' stations for the 69 beds here"”with only one or two private rooms. There is very little choice about what to eat. And residents don't seem to be taken outside the building for activities much.
But on the plus side, it is very clean"”there are rarely odors. There is low staff turnover; the administrator, who is an RN, has been there at least 10 years. And the activities director, who has also been there a long time, is awesome"”always thinking about fun and engaging things to do.
The quality of care is great"”there are RNs and LPNs, and even a nurse specifically dedicated to wound care; because there are few beds, they put more time in with residents than at many other facilities. And the administrator takes the time and effort to come out of her office often and monitor the patients.
