4 Star User Review
I do not agree with the previous persons review (sounds like an angry fired employee). When I have visited the nursing home and watch the staff caring for residents, I see the staff and the residents laughing and smiling. Of course, there are always staff in any nursing home that don't care like others do.
I tried finding where it is against regulations to have animals or children in a nursing home, and cannot find. In fact, when researching on the internet, this is encouraged as many nursing homes are trying to make their homes more homelike. When I have visited there are two dogs there frequently (lately I have not seen the one as much, but think that employee has moved away). There are residents who ask where this other dog is when not it is not at the nursing home and often I see this dog in their laps and getting a ride in their wheelchairs. The dog does not stay at the home as far as I can tell--not always there when I have gone to see my friends.
One of my friends has had a lot of health problems which put her into the home for a short time. She just recently returned home and told me that there was not a staff member who did not treat her well and the therapy staff was great. Before anyone makes a decision about a nursing home I would suggest visiting as personal reviews are biased negatively and positively. I do like this home and will most likely go there when I can no longer care for myself.
