Not a good fit

We ended up not placing our family member there. Administrative staff were not friendly or caring. I'm so happy we found out before it was too late. We found another bright, happy and loving facility for our loved one.

Lack of professionalism, Accountability

If you’re looking for a facility that genuinely provides assisted living, I would strongly advise looking elsewhere. My grandmother lived here for a period of time, and I had a security camera installed in her room due to a traumatic experience at a previous facility. What I observed was extremely disheartening and deeply concerning—not based on hearsay or memory, but on actual recorded evidence. Approximately half of the staff showed a clear lack of compassion and professionalism. Even more disappointing was that this attitude extended to some administrators as well. My grandmother was often treated like a burden for asking for help—whether it was requesting her prescribed inhaler or reporting burning pain during urination. Instead of receiving care, she was made to feel guilty or “needy” for expressing serious health concerns. On more than one occasion, she was threatened by staff that if she continued calling for help, she’d be left out in the dining room so they wouldn't have to

Life Choices

What we like the most about the Hearth Brook community is that they have positive and effective ways of dealing with non conformist and agitated behavior. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend this community to other families who are looking for a place for their loved ones.

Top notch facility and staff

Everything gets 5 stars. It is really a top notch facility and the staff are great people and very caring. It is a very clean facility, the staff are always friendly, caring and welcoming. I can't say enough about how well my father was taken care of during his time there. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone who needs care for a loved one.

A Place for My Loved One

The staff are very caring and attentive to my loved one and family. The staff communication with the family is very good and they are responsive to our questions and concerns. There are three meals a day served to the residents, and there are choices for the residents to choose from. The community has been good to accommodate the residents dietary needs as well.

Feels safe and well taken care of

We interviewed at a couple different community and we really like how Hearth Brook is smaller and not so overwhelming, it is easier for our loved one to get around. We have not had a meal there ourselves but from what our loved one says she seems pretty happy. From what we have seen they have daily activities going on for the residents. We were able to make our loved ones apartment look like her old condo so it has a homey feel to it. We would recommend this community to other families based on our experience

Things are good so far

I tried the food and it is was not bad. Mom seems to like it. They do offer daily activities and the staff are encouraging her to participate in some of them. The staff are friendly, helpful, quick to respond to our questions and always readily available. This is a smaller clean community and I would recommend it.

I think it's good.

I think it's good. One of the only problems is that there have been some charges that we weren't expecting. They have also been a little less understanding about certain dementia behaviors than I thought they would. The apartment is beautiful. The staff has been wonderful and have really communicated well with us. They were one of the most reasonably priced places.

Nice looking place

I toured this community while looking into senior living options for a loved one. The facility was well kept and clean, and all of the staff I met seemed friendly and professional. However, I don't think this place was the best match for what my loved one was needing at the time. Overall it seems like a nice place, and is definitely worth a look!

Very caring staff

They do an excellent job here, I'd give them 5s across the board! The staff are very friendly and caring, and they do a great job of dealing with my loved one. She can be very demanding when it comes to attention and time, but they always deal with her with patience and compassion. It's a nice looking place, and it is always very clean.

Best place ever for my mom.

The warmth and caring of staff allowed me to leave her without worry she would be well cared for. Not only is she receiving superior care, but the staff provides love and support for me as I must get acquainted with a new person developing Alzheimers. I can not say enough good about the facility, the staff and the variety of activities availble for mom every day.

Affordable assisted living

We do not consider the Sterling House a nursing home - it is an assisted living community. They have nice rooms for residents, no hospital beds or anything like that. I marked them down in cleanliness just because the carpet throughout looks dingy, it is in need of a steam clean or being replaced. But other than that the facility is very clean and my mom's place is cleaned by the staff. She has acclimated pretty well. This is the first place we looked at and my mom was overwhelmed that she could afford to stay at such a beautiful place with a selection of amenities. We didn't need to look anywhere else. The Sterling house gives you the most for your money. So far everything has been good, I have not heard any negatives from mom yet.
