This nursing home had a great, caring staff who really showed that they appreciated my visit to the facility. All of the staff seemed very knowledgable and well-versed in how they handle every day affairs. One thing I was not impressed with was the lighting and overall look of the facility. I thought the facility seemed gloomy and unkept. Although having a facility in a neighborhood isn't a bad aspect by any means, looking onto the facility from outdoors was sad. It looked strange, to say the least. I think it could have been much better handled and cared for, both indoors and outdoors. Looking around the building, I noticed it seemed a bit understaffed. I believe that if I had moved my grandfather into this facility, they would have tried to give him the care he needs and deserves, but it would have been a struggle with the amount of residents living there and the small amount of available staff. It was such a shame, due to the caring staff that did work there.

Although it is an older facility, Milder Manor has maintained the building and living accommodations well. The staff is skilled and pleasant to work with. They made every effort to ensure my mother's comfort in her last years. They accommodated her "quirks" and went out the way to make her life as pleasant as possible. As she approached inevitable death, the staff provided good council as to "Comfort and Care," instead of feeding tubes and IV's to sustain life with no quality or "living." I did not want to be present when my mother passed, but the staff made sure someone was sitting with her when the time came. They dressed her as I requested and included her pocketbook when she was cremated. All in all, Milder Manor made a stressful time for me as pain free as could be. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Milder Manor to folks looking for a compassionate care facility for a loved one.
