Let's be honest:…read more This is not the sort of place anyone loves to spend time in. Personally, I have a visceral reaction to all nursing homes because of childhood experiences with them. That said, if you have to put your loved ones in a place like this, and believe me, I understand that sometimes you do HAVE to...this is a good one. This place is clean. It doesn't have that old person's home smell that hits you in the face like some places. The vibes are good. The staff is actually friendly, and we saw a lot of smiles. And maybe that's because I bring in two smiley little kids with me every time I'm here, but the nurses and the patients all seem to be in pretty good spirits, which can be rare at rehab centers. It seems as though the staff enjoys their work (as much as anyone does), and they took the time to put up a lot of festive decor for the holiday season. There's a Santa in the dining room, snowflakes and more on all the walls, and that's in addition to the sweet fish tank in the lobby area. From what we know, they take good care of our grandma too, which is the most important thing. She is actually happier here than she was at home, and has the full time round the clock attention she needs. And of course, Matlock is on TV, seemingly at all times.

Your loved one will be sharing a room with someone else, that is a guarantee. The only place they can put photos of their family is a 8x10 cork board or taped to the wall. Residents are left out in hallways in chairs sleeping, they are not checked on, dressed if needed, or bathed. If your family member needs help, they are ignored, even if yelling at the top of their lungs. If you plan on putting your family member there, you might as well say your last goodbyes. This place will kill whatever spirit they have left. Outside place looks like a lodge transformed to a nursing home, there are large potholes in the parking lot, you could fall, injure yourself and stay there while you're already there. Gutters look like there about to fall off the building, it looks forgotten about, and so do the residents. When you leave, you leave feeling like you need a shower in sanitizer. Go somewhere else please! For the sake of your loved one. I beg you!!!

My young daughter loves visiting and has said she thinks it would be fun to live there. The difference between this "residential care home" and a nursing home is like night and day. At Bridges, residents get care that is genuinely guided by their needs, not the assembly-line style you find in a nursing home. As a nurse, I've worked in one nursing home and visited and toured many others. This place is head and shoulders above any other elder care facility I've visited, and I'm so grateful to have my grandmother cared for there.

When my mom and I toured The Maplewood the social worker explained that they didn't have outside Hospice agencies come in because they (The Maplewood) provided palliative care and handled end of life care for their residence "We have have a palliative team, doctors, nurses...they take care of everything. " Great we thought! Mom moved in. 4 months later my mom was hospitalized and diagnosed with inoperable cancer. She returned to The Maplewood and we clarified with the social worker and staff- would mom need a hospice nurse? NO. Would she have to move rooms when she got close to dying?NO. "We provide palliative care. That's what we do." They reassured my frightened mom that - "You have a palliative team caring for you. We will make sure you're comfortable." 4/6 I get a call from the day nurse, mom who is battling her second bout of pneumonia in 4 weeks is "having a down day. and by the way she is too weak to hold the phone, but she'd like to talk to you, by the way she is confused and she won't take her pills and her antibiotics aren't working and her pneumonia is worse..." My mom decided in January to be a DNR, and she didn't want to go back to the hospital. I told the nurse I was coming (a 7 hour drive) she said good. It's Friday, my mom is dying I think as I drive. When I arrive at midnight my mom is breathing 35times a minute sounding like a washing machine. Her eyes are rolling in their sockets as she involuntarily opens and closes them. I ask her how she is doing and she says "I ache all over". The night nurse enters the room, I tell her my mom's airway needs suctioned and mom needs pain meds. The nurse says to me (a 25 year ICU RN) "Your mom doesn't need to be suctioned and she can't have any pain meds." I said my mom is dying what do you mean she can't have pain meds? I'll stop right here. It only gets worse. The fact is the day nurse, the evening nurse and the social worker all knew my mom had taken a turn and not a one of them thought to tell the doctor or pa. A doctor or pa could have assessed the situation and recognized she was in multisystem organ failure and dying. They then could have modified her care plan and added medications that would maximize comfort. The nurses and social worker with their educational backgrounds should have done something to make sure her palliative needs would be met! It was Friday, they went home. The Maplewood promised my mom comfort care in the end. Her first appropriate end of life pain med was finally was obtained at 0540. She suffered until God finally took her at 0645. No end of life medications were ordered until 530am despite the day nurse and social worker knowing she was declining. How does this happen? They told her over and over that they would take care of her when she was dying! It was her biggest fear. We believed them. We were happy to pay $20,000 out of pocket a month for such inclusive services! Beware!!! They, the staff, smile a lot and sound so reassuring but YOU don't be fooled. If the end is near insist on seeing the care plan. Insist on seeing the med list. Please please educate yourself about end of life care (palliative and hospice). Pain meds, nausea meds, anxiety meds, meds for excessive secretions should all be ordered and a available as needed for a dying DNR patient. These are all meds that maximize comfort. I assumed they took care of this for mom. Friday night at midnight is no time to be begging for comfort care medications. Heaven help the residents who don't have a voice due to dementia, Alzheimer's etc.or don't have an advocate when they are dying. Update:12/14/2018 change is on the way. After extensive investigation, the New York State Department of Health CITED The Maplewood for NOT providing (my mom) adequate Palliative Care. The "last hours" can be as good as the first seven months!

I spoke with Cheryl in their office, begging her to send a nurse to look at it even though I saw one just two days ago. I have a hx of cellulitis in that leg, even from small wounds like that and I am a diabetic. She refused, saying "it's not a thing." Cheryl kept talking over me and refused to shut up so I hung up on her. I even swore at her, which I wish I didn't do but I am scared about what could happen to me. My next scheduled nursing visit is in 5 days. A lot can happen in 5 days. As a medical professional she should know this! The front of the folder they gave me says "Call us first. We may be able to help you avoid unplanned hospitalizations if we know you need our help." That's a big fat lie. I wouldn't recommend Centerwell Home Health to my worst enemy, even my ex-husband.

Also, it gave us great peace of mind to have a nurse on call 24/7. I cannot begin to express my gratitude to the health care providers at Kindred at Home and highly recommend the agency.

As a nurse myself this is abuse to any pt. The bladder scanner she was told was broken so they could not scan her anymore but yet if the doctors orders are to do so she should of been transferred out of the facility if they could not follow md orders. Every time I complained the some staff members were mean to here and rough when they did change her brief some times just removing the brief and rushed to wipe her down after sitting in urine.

We live out of state which makes it difficult to visit. The staff keeps in touch on a regular basis to keep us updated on our mom's health, doctor appointments, and general overall health. They offer daily activities which you can or not participate in, it is totally up to the individual. They even have a hair salon. If you are considering placing your loved one in assisted living, I would highly recommend Seneca Lake Terrace.
