Feels like home

I attended an open house looking to place a family member. I was welcomed immediately by both staff and residents. The residents and staff were equally as excited to show me their home. As anyone can imagine, transitioning a parent is an extremely difficult process. After spending a great deal of time answering all of my questions, the staff and residents left me excited for my family members future instead of the aprehension that comes with placement. Bless you for your beautiful facility that feels like home.

There are a lot of activities. The staff is friendly. They're very easy to communicate with, and they're willing to talk to the family members about any situation. The care is good overall. They check on my loved one every couple of hours and throughout the night. It's a small facility, so it's very cozy and comfortable.

It's super old and has no shocks so the old folks are tossed around and could possibly get hurt. Dad won't ride it anymore because it hurts his back too much to bounce around like that.

After helping care for another loved one in a memory facility, I was pleasantly surprised by how cleaned and well maintained the facility is. The staff is awesome and very attentive so far, our mother has only been there a few weeks. The nurses are very educated and experienced in memory care, the physical therapist that works with our mom( [name removed]) is phenomenal! The nurses assistant that help her shower and dressed and ready for bed are also very good. As stated previously we hope this continues for the rest of her stay at Encore and this type of care is maintained throughout her stay.

Very good overall. Would recommend.

5/5 overall with the exception of staff, but the issues were much more a management problem than a staff problem. We've had difficulties due to staff turnover, trying to get ahold of people who no longer worked there and was never told about the change of personnel/had to investigate and gradually find out on my own the nurse and others had suddenly left. Staff has allowed people to take Mom out of the facility without notifying me , I've spoken to Management about it, hopefully it doesn't happen again. We like it. It is very good overall and otherwise, just minor difficulties.
