My mom was a resident from February 2022 till June 2023 when she passed due to complications from…read moresurgery. She was 93. We had looked at many places and my mom picked Colonial Manor. The building and surroundings are absolutely stunning. Not at all like the cold hospital atmosphere of most other assisted living facilities we visited. It is more like a grand, ornate mansion for the wealth. My mom like being there so much that she said she should have moved there a long time ago. It was like always being on vacation. She absolutely loved the place. The staff made extra effort to make sure she was well cared for. She loved all of them and you could tell they loved her too. When she first moved in she had to be hospitalized for pneumonia and Nicole became her advocate using her contacts to make sure she was getting proper care. My mom thought the food was terrific. I know it's very subjective but she did gain about 25 pounds while she was there. If she didn't like what was on the menu they would make here something she liked. She was especially fond of the deserts. There was always something going on. She loved bingo, exercise with Norma , chair yoga, art, and dancing at cocktail hour. I told Nicol to save a room for me when its my time.

From the first time I entered the facility, we were greeted by lovely staff and residents. The…read moresetting was beautiful and felt like home. They have continued to impress me with the care they give to the residents and immediately embraced us as part of their family. The owners are always available and go above and beyond to advocate for whatever is in the best interest of the residents. They are accommodating and unlike any other facility I've ever been to. Food is delicious and we are always welcome to pop in and join dad for dinner. He's made friends and after nearly 50 years in the same home, has made this his new home- a huge relief to his family and friends! The only way that happened is because of what the team at Colonial does everyday!

The nurse aides at the House of Good Shepard abuse the patients by dragging them into bed and…read morebanging their shins against the bed frames. They do not use hoyer lifts because they are too lazy. They have bandages on their shins with various dates when the bruises occurred. The nurse aides do not help the new aides out because they feel their jobs are threatened. A patient fell out of bed and the aides, who were sitting in the dining room chatting, refused to help get that patient off floor. Do NOT believe the reviews on Care.com because they cover-up the abuse in nursing homes!

He enjoys the bingo games and wishes there were more activities, however the participation is low from the residents who prefer to spend time in their nice rooms. The location and setting are superb.
