A nice community!

Overall I would rate Ruth's House house as a 5. It was very clean. The staff was friendly. The CNA's were very caring and kind to my mom. The meals were good overall. My mom dislikes fish and they tended to eat fish several times a week. The downfall was there were not very many options because of the facility being kosher. The activities were engaging for my mom and overall it was a positive experience for both mom and I. The director of the facility [name removed] is also very accommodating and supportive. I would recommend Ruth's House for respite or assisted living.

Caring

My mom has been at Ruths House for some time now and I must say they have not regretted my decision to move her into an Assisted Living Community. Everyone is friendly and caring from the receptionist to the housekeeper and everyone in-between. The staff really takes in and cares for the resident as their own family member. Highly recommend!

Tour Review

Our family had an in person tour with Ruth's House and it was our second choice. All the places we looked at except [community name removed] had assigned seats in the dining room which my parents didn't like. Plus my parents are Catholic and felt the culture at Ruth's didn't feel right to them.

Mom is happy

I feel like from the minute we walked in for the tour, everyone was so nice and so friendly. There were a few ladies sitting in the foyer and they greeted us and were very friendly. Everyone was welcoming and it felt comfortable. It is a beautiful and clean facility They have great activities offered every day. I would absolutely recommend Ruth's House, my mom has been here since mid-September and loves it.

Mother's great care

My mother has been a resident @ Ruth's House for 2 1/2 years. The care she receives is great. The attendants are very friendly and helpful. They treat my mother with respect and treat her like she was their own mother. I am very happy knowing she is in good hands. I cannot find any fault with anyone or anything. This has been a very positive experience. I would highly recommend them for a loved one.

I'm happy I found this place

Ruth's House is an overall good place. Communication between the community and myself could be better. There were times when my loved one left to go to the hospital, but they didn't contact me. There were times when they arrived back from the hospital, and I wasn't contacted either. I've also had payment issues where they've increased the prices without my permission. Aside from that, it's a secure community and I feel safe having my loved one there. I would recommend Ruth's House to others.

Hidden Gem

My mother-in-law was a resident of this community up until her recent death. I can not say enough about Ruth’s House. The staff is so friendly and caring. Mom would say that they treated her like a queen. The chef knew what to prepare her if she did not care for that night’s selection. Everyone knew her and us by name. I asked her once if she pressed her button after a fall. She told me she didn’t have to-four staff members heard her and rushed in. The community is always clean; and the residents are always happy and well cared for. We are so grateful to have found Ruth’s House.

Amazing Care! A gem!

My mother-in-law, [name removed], recently passed away. She was a resident at Ruth’s House until her passing. She felt that the staff treated her like a queen. Ruth’s House is an incredible place. The staff took their time to learn about [name removed] and her needs. The Chef went out of her way to prepare meals that she would like and be able to eat. She especially enjoyed the wide variety of activities. When my mother-in-law fell, four aides were in her room before she had a chance to push her button! [name removed] referred to the aides as her “friends”. She would always say that is my friend, she helps me. If you are looking for a caring, compassionate, family-oriented place that provides excellent care, look no further. [name removed]

Very Happy

Very happy with the facility. Very happy with the Activity Staff. They engaged my mother in activities and trips. This is the happiest I have seen her. I can never get a hold of her because she is always out of her room having fun.

Disappointing

It's been a big disappointment. I expected more. We went 3 weeks before my loved ones bedding has been changed. It is supposed to be weekly cleaning. That is not happening. Emailed the director with concerns. I sent an email for my loved ones doctor appointment and that was not replied too. I got a call from the visiting nurse saying "your not being responsible" when his medicine was not delivered. I had no idea he had medicine sent in to be picked up. I was exposed to covid in this place and no one called and told me of their outbreak of covid. My loved one informed me. They did not call to tell me at all. My loved one was quarantined for 3 weeks. They wouldn't take responsibility for bringing in covid to this facility. They said they couldn't communicate to me because he is his own person? I am his health care proxy and power of attorney and they still aren't notifying me of these things. He is supposed to be getting 2 showers a week and that is not happening.

my review of Ruth's House

The community really gets to know the residents quickly and adjust the care based on her personality. This is a great community for memory care. I would recommend this community to others based on my experience.

Don't send someone that you love there

Extremely understaffed, and the staff that is there are extremely unprofessional and have zero respect for their clients. The head person there know they were understaffed and she would make the workers work longer hours. They were not physically capable to do so and she still made them work extra long hours. It really just seemed like the residents sat like zombies in chairs, they would not even let them go outside.

We Found A Better Fit For The Family

This community was similar to another that we liked. It has activities, friendly staff, a good atmosphere. After exploring out options this was not the most closest place to the family.

Many living area upgrades, plenty of space for family and friends to visit. Several living choices, nice dining areas, many perks for residents. There is also a Day facility nearby. As a side note, this is an all Kosher Community. Pricing is reasonable for the services and amenities offered.

Nice layout of memory unit. Like the fact nursing home and rehab on same campus/different buildings. More complete care to be given on unit. Price slightly lower than Armbrook with more care offered.
