Room was great, there are various sizes. Staff was helpful and efficient. My friend appreciated regular activities and Mass on campus. I know a lot of places are struggling, but I really feel my friend is safe, loved and well cared for.

The staff was NOT helpful! Dad was in this facility for less than 24 hours and I had to remove him. He went in for Rehabilitation for an amputation. He fell and laid in the floor for 3 hours; no one checked on him and he couldn't reach his call light. They did not give him his medication. He hit his call light and it took almost 3 hours and me showing up for it was answered! The wound care nurse, the nurse practioner nor the house doctor seen him upon his arrival. The room had a hole in the wall, no TV remote and no internet.

Nazareth Living Center was very nice. It was clean and the people were all very friendly. We saw a lot of the buildings and this was the one where there's a washer and dryer in your apartment. You get a certain number of points a month that would give you 30 dinners a month or you could choose to use them for lunch, then they have a complimentary breakfast. They have a buy-in system, but it's reasonable, and I was very happy with that place. They have snack areas around where you could pick up drinks, bagels, or muffins. It's available throughout the day and you just help yourself kind of thing. They had a very large number of opportunities for you to be active. They have a big sit-down room where they do exercises and an area where there were exercise machines if you wanted to do that. They had plenty of extra things, which is important to me, like community areas, not just the lunchroom, and at the end of each hall, there was some area where you could get together with people with several tables and chairs, and they had a screened-in area that was kind of like a deck type. The outside was beautiful and it was just really a pleasant atmosphere.

Nazareth Living Center is wonderful. They're so caring and they do terrific rehab exercises. The food is tremendous and the workers are great. They have mass every day and the nuns are so kind to you. It's great.

My mother is in Nazareth Living Center. This place has been absolutely wonderful to my mother. They are very caring. Their therapy group talks to the assisted living place and finds out what it is my mother needs to do. They are working very hard with her to make sure she is able to do the things she needs to be able to do. The food is fabulous. Most of the people are wonderful. When she went in there, she was very sick from breaking a hip and getting pneumonia and couldn't do much of everything. They worked with her, and she has done such a turnaround. That is absolutely amazing for a 91-year old woman. It has a homey atmosphere.

Nazareth Living Center had residents in wheelchairs and sweat clothes sitting in the halls, slumped over and asleep. The place didn’t smell very good. The rooms were like hospital rooms, not individual rooms. It had a very nice entryway and everything looked nice, but once you go in, the place was not updated. It had a nursing home feel to it and had a very Catholic environment with a lot of nuns.

Nazareth Living Center was one of the finest that we found. For what my sister and brother-in-law need, it is probably the best. It is certainly an excellent program because it has the whole continuum of care, but my sister and brother-in-law won’t need continuum care on-site because they are very close to the dialysis center, which is separate from it. The place was very comfortable and very safe. It is all on one level and there was a second level for those who do not have any problems with steps. It was wheelchair accessible, including the bathrooms, and they had other services, like breakfast and dinner every day. They had a theater, a chapel, and everything else. It certainly fit all the needs of people who have a variety of requirements.

My mother had a small stay(2 weeks) in Nazareth in December 2016 for a rehabilitation for a broken rib.. I can not express enough that she will never go there again, other then a couple of nice aids and PT, the staff was awful, and the care for my mother was awful. I only missed one day out of 14 to go see my mom and when I came in the next day her room smelled like urin, it was in disarray and she was a mess, she said when ever she would hit her call button no one would come and if they did come she would tell them what she would need and they would never come back, I personally heard other patient's hitting their drinking glasses with their silverware to get the attention of the staff. My first complaint was to the CEO and he passed my info on to a manager who came up with every excuse to let me know why things were happening, short staff mainly, but a 82 year old women with a broken rib doesn't care if your facility is short staff, she was in pain and she needed help and nurses acted like she was a nuisance. My next attempt, after a couple of days and things not changing, I talked with a social worker (recommend by her PCP) who was less then helpful.. I would express what was going on and she some how would turn it around on my mother, and raised her voice to me. By this time I have given up on the staff taking care of my mother the way she should've been and when I came in I would make sure she had her dinner, fresh water, I would help her use the restroom and empty her bedside commode, put her into bed and made sure she had everything she needed because I knew when I left no one was going to come in to see if shes was ok for awhile. 20,23,25,30 minute call button waits, which they told us was way to long but it never stopped, they put my mother in Depends so they didn't have to come in as often, she has never were Depends up until this point. After her 14 day stay she was discharged and I took her home where she then went through a 5 day detox from the medication they were giving her in their facility. My mother is 82 and weighs 125 lbs. They had her on 2 different pain killers twice a day, a pain patch and 2 muscle relaxers a day. She couldn't function in their facility(fell twice) and then they sent her home to deal with their aftermath. Thank goodness she had family to get her through those awful 5 days, I strongly suggest if you do put a family member in this facility you watch them like a hawk and make sure you know what is going on with them at all times. I will NEVER place another member of my family in the care of this terrible facility, Trust me when I say looks are deceiving when it comes to Nazareth living center.

I’m going into the Nazareth Living Center. They have one part that has already been finished, and that’s what I toured. The part I’m going to move into is under construction right now. It was pleasant and well-lit, and the halls were wide with lots of good lighting. The personnel just could not have been more helpful, and there are a number of nuns that live there that I ran into the hallways, and they just could not have been more delightful. The facilities are first class. They have an exercise room, a library, a computer room, daily masses, a nice dining facility, and a garage. You have an indoor place to park. It has everything that I think I would want. One of things I particularly like is the full-service kitchen, and it also has a washer and dryer in the unit.

Nazareth Living Center was a bit older, but they were building a new one. They have transportation services.

I thought the staff was top notch at Nazareth. They have done a lot of great improvements over the years, as this is an old retirement home for Catholic sisters that later incorporated the general public. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. I thought that there were a lot of activities as well. Parking was not very good and parts of the buildings are still very old.

My grandmother was admitted to Nazareth Living Center about four years ago. She could not function because of her Alzheimer disease. She never knew where she was, but this facility treated her like a human being. Not like some nursing homes that tend to treat their residents like animals. They loved on her, treated her like she was their grandmother. Also the staff is very friendly to the family of the resident. They know that is hard to see your loved one get old and not be able to function. Being kind a warm to my family is what has set this facility apart from the others. No one wants to put their loved one in a nursing home unless they must. Being able to come to this facility and just sit with my grandmother and spend time with her, for about two years while she slowly died meant the world to me. I would recommend this facility to anyone and everyone who has a loved one who needs extra care.

"My husband's grandmother lives in this facility, and we've been very impressed with the care she's been receiving. The staff is friendly, her daily needs are met in a timely and high-quality manner.It was a very difficult decision for the family to move her into a nursing home. Nazareth made that transition easier. We feel confident that we've chosen the right home for her and would recommend this facility to other families."

I recently toured this facility because I was visiting my friend who works there. I had visited previously while I was in elementary school because I participated in various contests for children that were held by the facility. The staff are extremely friendly and courteous to their visitors as well as to members of the facility. I enjoy speaking with older people, for I find their life stories to be very intriguing. If I had to choose an assisted living facility for myself or a family member, I would Nazareth. The building is fairly new, and I was impressed by the layout and style of it. The dining area is very clean and hosted a variety of meal choices. Each week, the center holds a variety of activities, including children from local grade schools coming to play bingo, aerobic and yoga classes, or even ice cream socials. I would highly recommend this establishment for anyone who is looking for an assisted living facility.
