My father was at Golden LivingCenter. I didn't like the CNA, but I thought the service was good in one way. Overall, they were pretty good.

I have been visiting this nursing home for over two months now because one of our family members had a stroke. All meals on the weekends come late...9:00, 1:30 and 6:30. The food listed on the ticket never matches what's on the plate (assume a cost-cutting measure). In many cases, there are two food items listed on the ticket and not included on the plate. One Saturday night in June because they were short staffed in the kitchen, they served beans and a piece of bread.

I visited this facility in April 2012 to see my aunt. She was on the South end of the facility. I found everyone there to be very friendly. The receptionist at the door greeted us and knew exactly what room my aunt was in. As we walked down the hall, the area smelled like what could have possibly been dirty diapers or human odor. I'm sure that that's common in facilities such as this, and I only smelled it on my way in and not my way out. My aunt was in good spirits and said everyone there had been real nice to her. She had just finished eating and said the food wasn't too bad considering where she was. We stayed about an hour or so until my cousin came in to visit and as I had my wife and four children with me which was a room full in a semi private room, I politely excused us and we made our way back to the front. All the nurses and aides seemed friendly and played with my children. The facility did appear clean throughout. All in all, if I had to go to a facility of this nature, I believe I would like it to be this one.
