Loving and Caring Home

Homestead is a wonderful home for yourself or your family members. The environment is very loving and caring. I cannot say enough about the staff. They are all so kind, friendly, wanting to help you in any way that they possibly can. Every day is filled with activities. Because it is a small home, it's much easier to get to know others in the community. Residents are treated not only with great kindness, but also with respect and dignity. A true family community.

Disappointed, some things need improvement

My questions are ..... not being notified with changes ... the information is on letters left in residence room.... I live 7 hrs away ... I don't have this info... her bill is sent to me every month ... not sure why this info is not included for those of us not right there close. Mirror for my aunts dresser is still sitting on the floor by the wall waiting for maintenance to put it up as I was told they would almost a year ago . Trying to get her a haircut at facility .... still not done ... they say she needs to put her name in the list .... I've called couple times to get this done .... still waiting . I'm so very thankful that I got her to your facility.... she is safe .... good to eat ... staff that checks on her .... but ... some of this concerns me. I leave messages for some one to call me ... but ... no response. She's pays a lot for this facility.... not sure why every thing is a struggle to get answers .

Great place for the price.

Compared to other homes in the area they are most cost effective. In regards to my other numbers 3 is average. Could do a little more activity but being a smaller size I know they are limited with staff. Overall experience has been good so far.

They're very caring. The Nursing staff is very proactive with the resident's needs.

The staff and the management are very receptive. If there is an issue, they own it. They don't try to give you excuses for anything. They've been very helpful. I think the facility is very nice. It's much more intimate than the another facility our loved one lived at previously, which is good. The menu looks good, and my loved one says the food is fine. They give the residents a calendar of activities for the month, and they usually have several things scheduled every day. They also try to get the residents outside as much as they can.

The staff we met with was very helpful and understanding of my mother's situation. After the tour we selected her room and will be moving her into Homestead early next month.
