My mother is getting such good care at Tremont Ridge. It's even better than a nursing home because the staff is so attentive, and they help her with her shower, getting up in the morning, and anything that she needs assistance with; they're right there. She's very safe there. They make blankets, and she has always enjoyed sewing. They will take out to lunch those who are able. They had St. Patrick's Day, Mother's Day, and birthday parties. All of the meals are served or they will bring them to her room. The food is very good, tasty, not bland, and very balanced, and because mother can't eat much, she gets half portions. It's expensive, though.

Tremont Ridge is a very clean facility with many activities for the residents to participate in. The employees are great workers and good-hearted people. It is in a smaller town and is very quiet, which is great for the residents. It is a second-to-none facility.

I thought the people at this facility were all very nice and considerate to their patients, however not so much to other employees. Since I was observing one of the workers, I got to see some of the behind the scenes action and wasn't completely impressed with how some of the other workers treated each other. For Example: I was observing the physical therapist. The CNAs at the time neglected to do their job and therefore the physical therapist had to spend their time doing the CNA's job and ran out of time to actually complete the tasks they needed to do. In full, the physical therapist (instead of doing stretches, strength-training and ambulatory exercises) had to get the patient up, take them to the rest room, change the patients clothing and by the time this was all said and done the patient was exhausted and the therapist was out of time. I also experienced where another employee tried to make me do a task with a patient that I was not qualified to do at the time simply so they didn't have to do the job that was rightfully theirs. It is important for the employees to not only treat the patients with consideration, but each other also.
