Community Reviews
Responsive, attentive staff!
reviewed on: 03/03/2016 by AnonymousI moved my mother to The Hermitage from a different community. Things are going great here, she is doing really well. I like it very much. The staff is very attentive and responsive, my mother falls often and they are quick to assist her. Everyone is nice. The head nurse on her floor is delightful. The food is great, she had lost weight before coming to The Hermitage and she has been eating better there. There are a lot of activities. She is in the skilled nursing area, but we are able to take her to other areas so she is able to participate in all sorts of activities the different areas have. There are good musicians who come in and play guitar. There is a hair salon. She usually eats in her area of the community but we sometimes take her to the main dining room that is more formal and it is a little treat for her.
Absolutely wonderful!
reviewed on: 06/05/2013 by No Name GivenThe Hermitage is the best thing that could have happened. The people on staff are so compassionate, our loved one passed away peacefully in hospice shortly after arriving. It's unfortunate because we think she would have really enjoyed the Hermitage and their assisted living facility. The residents there seem to be very happy. The nurses were so lovely, they knew how to handle everything.
Good Value and Location
reviewed on: 09/16/2013 by SonI think the value is great. I guess an improvement would be communicating with the families a little bit better. Sometimes you have to drag the information out rather than it being offered. My dad is doing alright there. He says the food is good. I've eaten there and I wouldn't say it's good - it's average or what's to be expected. They have a whole range of activities - drives, bingo, music, church. We chose The Hermitage pretty quickly in our search because of the value and the location.
They do a fantastic job with the care...
reviewed on: 02/13/2014 by Loved oneThey do a fantastic job with the care here, and watching out for Mom's overall health. She's in a safe environment with caregivers who are really on top of things. When I was looking into care options for her I looked through 5 years of the state health inspection records and this facility was one of the best in the state. They've really proven themselves. My Mom fell ill a few weeks ago, and an employee immediately realized it was more than just a cold or a flu and rushed her to the hospital, and the doctor told us if she had come in any more than an hour later she would likely have died of pneumonia. Another really great aspect of this community is that their maintenance department is outstanding. Any problems or simple installations you have (shelves, bathroom fixtures) they'll take care of quickly and professionally. They do have a few area I'd really like to see them improve on, however. Number one is the food. It is absolutely terrible. My Mom complains constantly, and I eat there myself once or twice a month and meals served for dinner have been uniformly awful. They are either tepid or outright cold. The activities also are not good. They are poorly organized and not advertised to the residents well. Those issues aside this really is a safe place, and the care they provide is amazing. I would recommend looking into this place during your search.
