A happy, safe place for mom
5 across the board. We're very happy with Poet's Walk...All of the staff, from the front office people to those involved in day-to-day care, know the residents, interact with them and help doing whatever needs to be done. It feels very much like a family.

The staff was very friendly and engaging. Every time we visited Mom she was either in an activity or a meal. If she was in her room, she was always checked on and encouraged to participate in activities. The management was working hand in hand with the caregivers on the weekends.

Good staff, caring, kind. Rooms are spacious. Salon on site by appointment, activities are great. From time to time some residents get a bit aggressive with others where injuries sometimes occur. They seem to be getting a handle on it since they have recently increased staffing. I think as long as they connected by visiting regularly and bring any issues found to the staff, mom or dad will be fine.

The only thing I can say negative. It said I felt like it took too long to get her special chair ordered and she probably could have been put into hospice a little earlier. The length of time had more to do with there rules as far as things getting signed off by somebody before it moved on to the next person. Other than that it was absolutely fabulous.

My experience with Poet’s Walk Leesburg has been very positive. This started many months ago before the facility was actually needed. Staff was very helpful in identifying things to consider and reassured me that they were there to help in any way they could. I can say that I am visiting there almost daily and they have residents at different levels of cognitive abilities and they meet them right where they are. I’ve witnessed staff treat the residents like family. All of the staff interact with the residents and know them by name. They encourage and engage residents to participate in activities. The staff is always looking for ways to entertain everyone. I would recommend this facility for memory care.

I'd have to say the overall experience was not a good one. My husband was only at Poet's Walk for a two-week respite. During that time I didn't really get any break. When I visited him he was always alone in a corner of his room which only had a bed and nightstand. The mattress was stained so I brought a mattress pad from home. My dad had been in respite care at another facility several years ago and it was nicely furnished with a TV, mini fridge and lovely decor. My husband's room looked as though someone had just moved out (or died). No one bothered to learn his name, probably because he was short term. If I hadn't had another obligation out of state I would never have left him there. Since that time, I've learned that many of the staff have left and I know several families who moved their loved ones out of Poet's Walk. Perhaps things are better there now.

In my opinion, the best thing about the community is the individual caregivers. They are all wonderful, warm and kind. My husband is in late stage all timers and he can be difficult to deal with that times. They are always patient with him and happy to see him and manage to get him to do things that the rest of us can't. And the med tech are absolutely terrific. Custodial staff and the kitchen help also pitch in whenever necessary to help out with my husband. They are very kind to him and I always get the feeling that they like him very much in spite of the fact that he can be difficult at times as far as I'm concerned, he's in the best place. He can be considering his needs at the present time.

I was hoping more care would be given to brain health and nutrition. Communication between family and staff is poor unless you really make an exceptional effort. We would maybe recommend this community to other families based in the experience we have had. Mom is given better care (by far) than what I could give as an untrained working woman. The other residents are very pleasant.

Helpful and friendly staff. Greeted at the door and questions and concerns answered. Sales and nurses spent quality time with my questions. The tour was beautiful and residents were busy with activities.

Our family had an in person tour with Poet's Walk Leesburg and we liked it very much, and the price was better. However the location was just to far away from our home.

Poet's Walk Leesburg is a lovely place. My friend is happy here. She really likes all of the people that work here. Initially she had a hard time getting acclimated, but now she is adjusted well. I have found everybody to be very helpful, especially the maintenence man. he hung some pictures on the wall that I brought to her. The activities lady has also been very helpful. Every 3rd Wednesday they have someone who comes in to sing. The aids are all so attentive to the residents and dance with them. I am very impressed and have no complaints. I would recommend Poet's Walk to anyone.

My loved one was mostly on hospice care so we didn't interact much with the staff. The community collaborated nicely with hospice

I think if you have someone who has memory loss, Poet's Walk Leesburg is the perfect place for them. I do think they need more people and more staff. The girls are definitely overworked, but I'm satisfied. They've been meeting my needs and my fathers needs.

We have had a number of negative experiences since we first signed on. We were told that there was no staff turnover since it was built. From our first day there the staff turnover began. Our ambassador was asked to leave and we consequently never even had our initial introduction. Never found out when laundry day was. There were caretaker meetings we didn't even know about. We had trouble finding someone to help with initial set up type questions. We were promised frequent communication and that has consistently been an issue. My loved one has even been put on medicine without our knowledge. They promised all sorts of ways they monitor the residents. My loved ones bed sensor was never installed, no one could ever answer my question about how much fluid she was passing, and one night she was up most of the night vomiting and diarrhea and no one checked on her, nope did they tell us she was sick. Another time she slept in another residents room all night and no one even noticed.

The facility is clean, well-appointed, airy and secure, with several activity areas in the main room, a big community TV and a cage of live birds. Room furnishings are the resident's, and any room TV or telephone must be purchased, contracted and maintained individually, with no technical assistance in the building. (I got both for my 81 yr old wife, but she can't operate TV or answer the phone without help.) Focus on memory care is evident and staff and programs are good. However, assistance in dressing, bathing, eating, grooming is spare. My wife has been sent to join the main area with her slacks or shirt on backwards, inside out or unbuttoned...in her stocking feet. Her clothes are all over. The food is passable, occasionally good, but short on fresh vegetables, fruit. Milk is never offered. Staff is friendly, helpful but too few. I visited on a Saturday abd there were no ...ZERO... staff of any kind visible in any hall or space. Management promises improvements in these areas.
