Seamless move in

Mom and Dad were hesitant to move from Florida- until the walked into Salem Residence. Mom immediately lit up and declared she could see herself living here. They moved in within the month. Everybody has been wonderfully welcoming and the location is near everything for them. Many doctors,shopping,and a senior center across the street for even more activities than the full Residence schedule. It is a relief to know they are now closer and have the support nearby when they need it. Thank you for making the experience so seamless .

Great choice

They have a consistent staff, more then other venues. They staff well most days to accommodate needs. Staff are friendly and warm to residents. I would recommend them, it is expensive, but I have been very happy with his care so far.

We moved mom here seven years ago and she couldn't be happier. The care, activities, food and social events are wonderful. It's one big happy family, residents and associates and families included.

Amazing Safe Environment

We moved Mom into Salem Woods six and a half years ago and couldn't be happier. Her apartment, the care, the food, the associates and activities are all wonderful! The restaurant style dinning is amazing and changes seasonally, the activities, exercise classes and trips are in abundance there's so much to do. It's been a wonderful decision and we're thankful Mom's living at Salem Woods:)

Super friendly staff

Everyone is super nice. They do have a new chef. it has been great interaction with the staff. My loved one is not invloved with too many activities. It's a lot of money for what my loved one is getting. It has been a very great experience. I wish I had my loved one there five years ago, so they could really enjoy the activities. Overall, my loved one is very happy. We are super happy.

Definitely a place for your loved one

The staff goes out of their way and they treat you like family. Whatever my mom needs - they take care of right away. There are so many activities going on, I don't know how people keep up! Tomorrow they are taking them out to a play house, residents can sign up for lunch and cruise, they constantly have speakers coming in to give lectures. The facility is unbelievable. It is a little expensive, but you get what you pay for. We would highly recommend them 100%, we could not be happier.

Highly recommend

Things are working out very well for my loved one at The Residence at Salem Woods. We visited 3 or 4 other places and this facility was head and shoulders above the rest. The staff are super friendly, helpful and attentive. There are many activities provided. It is expensive, but you get a lot for what you pay for. I would definitely recommend them if you can afford it.

This is a place you should definitely look at and speak to them about the services they offer. This is something to truly think about for your loved one. The activities and the community being a smaller community stands out to me. I feel the staff listen to any questions or concerns I have and passed to the appropriate team member. The Residences is able to assist with physical and occupational therapy, housekeeping, walking my loved one to and from dinner and laundry service..

Community Tour

All the places that we toured were very similar, including The Residence at Salem Woods. Their prices were comparable. The staff was super nice. There was nothing that I didn't like, and I thought all of them would have been a good place for my dad. It was just a matter of his personal preferences. And he just liked the layout of the rooms better at another place.

This community had a check and the menu was so diverse and had so many options to pick from. The community was good and had its good and bad points but when I narrowed it down it was just another community that worked out for my loved one better.

Our Tour Experience

It was a beautiful facility. But our loved one is a peritoneal dialysis patient, which became an issue. In the process of determining if he was a candidate to move in and over a span of many weeks, we did our best to allay their fears regarding his PD treatment and provided them with solid medical refutes to their concerns. In the end, I feel like they came up with all sorts of other problems instead of being honest with us that they didn't feel comfortable with him as a PD patient. They simply didn’t want him there.

I would recommend

We chose The Residence at Salem Woods because we needed a facility with skilled nursing as well as assisted living, there are only a few facilities that do that. I also had to get him out of rehab fast and they were able to take him quickly. We did a virtual tour and an in person tour and it was a beautiful, smaller facility that is quiet. It is also brand new and I really loved the sales woman I talked to, [name removed]. She was transparent and answered all of my questions thoroughly. The director of the facility, [name removed] is wonderful too and very responsive. I would definitely recommend them to others who are looking.

Heartbreaking care of vulnerable seniors

One of my relatives moved into Salem Woods but had to move out after only three weeks due to very dangerous and chronic mismanagement of medication by their staff. What’s worse is their blatant attempts to cover this up and blame others for it. We’re now filing complaints with numerous state regulatory and oversight agencies to ensure that The Residence at Salem Woods fixes their many problems. We urge anyone who might need assistance with medications to avoid living at Salem Woods until this is resolved. My relative ended up in respiratory failure after Salem Woods personnel failed to give her critical daily medication for over 3 weeks. First they blamed the patient’s primary care doctor for this, then they blamed the patient instead of taking responsibility. Separately, they admitted their staff failed 10 times in just a 3 week period to log the administration of narcotic pain medication, seriously putting her at risk of receiving a lethal overdose. After we audited their logs, we further discovered that a third medication had not been given for at least 5 days in a row. But when we caught this weeks later and brought it to the attention of the director of nursing, [name removed], she claimed that she spoke to the on duty staff at the time. The staff was then allowed to retroactively log the medication weeks later, claiming that they simply had “forgotten” to log it but “remembered” giving it. Subsequent checking of the medication showed that in fact there remained too much medication in the vial for it to have been administered that many times. My relative complained to the nurse on duty that she was having shortness of breath and wanted to go to the emergency room. Instead of staying with the patient, the nurse ([name removed]) went downstairs and called me to ask what to do. This wasted precious minutes as we found out later. I asked what medications had been given that day. She responded that the medication log from the other nurses was too hard to read so she couldn’t tell. I then had to tell her to call 911 and get back to the room to be with the patient. By then the patient had lost consciousness and needed CPR. She spent the next 2 weeks in and out of hospitals, including ICU where she was intubated. I met with the management of the facility about these issues. They admitted they had issues but offered no actions to remediate them and to date have not addressed the issue with staff. I left the meeting totally dumbfounded and told them they had serious legal and safety liabilities. My relative moved out in [date removed]. When we requested the return of her security deposit, the executive director [name removed] sent my relative a release of liability agreement and stated we would only get the money back if we agreed not to pursue legal action against them. This is extortion on top of what was already terrible injustice to a vulnerable senior citizen who almost died while in their care! There is much more to this incredibly heartbreaking story. I feel terribly for the existing residents of Salem Woods, especially given the Covid related restrictions make it difficult for loved ones to see what’s really going on there. I also feel badly for the many staff who truly seem to care but are managed by people who are incapable taking responsibility for making a safe environment. I feel obligated to speak for the people who can’t and make sure Salem Woods is held responsible.
