While I did look at other places I kelp thinking back to the Arbor Inn. Ultimately they were the best choice for her. While all of the staff is warm and welcoming the caregivers are the best. They treat each patient with love and respect. Mom as adjusted well to her new home. It's comforting to know that she is so well cared for.

I was there for a tour of the community today on behalf of a family member who will be needing…read morecare. Before I even entered the building, I saw, first hand how a staff member responded to a resident in need. The resident was enjoying the fresh air outside and had taken a fall in rounding the corner. I didn't see the actual fall but as I got out of my car, I saw that he was on the ground and bleeding on his forearm, rushed over to him as he was on his hands and knees in the driveway. I told him I would stay with him until help arrived. Just then a staff member was pulling into the parking lot, likely to start her shift. She saw us, immediately pulled her car up behind the resident to block/protect him from anyone else that might be driving in, jumped out of her car, rushed over to assess his condition, called for help with a sense of urgency and thanked me for waiting there with him. I was so impressed by the sense of urgency, confidence, obvious great training, empathy, compassion and dignity shown to this resident by this staff member, I knew right away that this organization is special. I've toured many communities in my career in healthcare and now that my family member is involved, I know what to look for. More than a basic, staged "tour" of a community, I actually got to experience what this community does to care for its residents on a daily basis. That, for me, was priceless. A care community is far more than a pretty entrance, with balloons and a grand piano. It's the staff who care for the residents day-to-day that counts. I ended my tour today after having met with management, who were equally as impressive. Arbor Inn gets an A+ plus from me.

At first I was impressed at how the facility looked, how it was run and how it looked in general…read more But...... as time went on and the day to day routines were noticed first hand, I developed a different outlook. Don't get me wrong though, this facility does have a lot of positives. The front reception desk personnel are friendly and informative, most all of the staff from the aides, med techs, nursing, maintenance, housekeeping, activities etc. are friendly, helpful, attentive and knowledgeable. It's a clean facility with a nice home type feel for their residents. It's very nicely laid out and is very comfortable looking with lots of features like their Mainstreet area with plenty of tables and chairs and a calming waterfall to enjoy when visiting and eating with your loved ones. There's a library and an activities room, a fireplace with chairs to sit by the front entrance, a spacious dining area and multiple chairs and couches in the hallways and much more. The laundry services were spotty when it came to replenishing towels and washcloths. I asked twice for fresh sets for my family member when they were there for a short 3 week respite stay and both times I was told there weren't any. I was able to see inside the laundry room one day when the light were left on and they were definitely backed up on doing the laundry. So I finally brought in a washcloth and towel from home a couple of times. The food seemed so-so, but I can't attest to anything first hand. This was through the resident's own words as I asked day to day while making small talk with them as to how their meals were. The med techs that pass out medications aren't real knowledgeable as to what medications treat what conditions. This lack of knowledge could have been very serious for my family member if we hadn't noticed that they didn't receive some very important medications. We talked about it with the head of nursing and hopefully this type of thing won't happen with another patient. Fortunately it all worked out but still it could have been a very serious issue. I overheard some of the staff a couple of times talking in the elevator about their frustrations. I was surprised that they talked right in front of a family member. I found that to be unprofessional as it should have taken place in the break room or off the clock. The last thing that didn't sit well with me was when my family member said their goodbyes to the staff and got a snide 'see ya' as they walked on past without saying a nicer goodbye. This wasn't the way I wanted my family member to remember their brief stay. It comes down to just being more professional and polite. All in all, I know no place is perfect in every aspect and especially nowadays, keeping any place staffed is a big problem. With a few tweaks as far as the laundry linen shortage, teaching the staff to be more professional and not to discuss residents in front of family members and how to be nicer in general, and lastly teaching the med techs a bit more as far as giving them some quick lessons about what medications treat what conditions, this facility would earn a higher rating from me. Again, these are just my observations from only 3 weeks out of the year, but important ones all the same.

The physical facility is very nice. The atrium reminds me of a Ramada Inn. It's bright and very clean. Their room is on the small side but adequate for their needs. The opportunities for them to get involved are many and varied. Everything from documentary screenings to day trips to, of course, Bingo. The healthcare workers are polite, respectful, and responsive. There is a cruise director type person who gets to know the residents and tries to invite them involved in activities they might like. I was visiting for a week from L.A. and was so happy my family found this facility.

My father was a resident of this facility for over 5 years..3 1/2 years in independent living and 1 1/2 years in assisted living. The independent living "side" is fine, a pleasant community with very nice and reasonably priced senior living apartments. The assisted living "side" was a living nightmare for pretty much the entire time. Full disclosure..My Dad is a dementia patient and a difficult one, but as I have since learned not all that unusual. There were pockets of excellence in the staff, but Waltonwood was never able to provide suitable and consistent care for my Dad in the time that he was there. We needed to hire outside caregivers to assure that he got showered and dressed. In his final months there, as his condition deteriorated he would spend days in his own excrement. The overall management philosophy is rooted in a lack of knowledge and skills to deal with this type of patient. Instead of either stepping up to the issues or asking my Dad to leave, they continually blamed my Dad or me for the lack of care. My parting view of this facility as my brother and I packed up and emptied my Dad's apartment for the better part of the day was at least 4 "caregivers" who sat in a lounge area and did not even look up from their phones for hours...guess they are supposed to sit and wait for residents to ask for help???

This is not the place you want your elderly family member to be for rehab. My 94 year old mother…read morewas there after a hip fracture, surgery, and a 10 day hospital stay. Prior to her fall she was able to walk with a walker. After 10 days in a hospital bed, she was very weak and barely able to stand. The Bellbrook rehab staff was not very patient with her (despite saying it could take up to a year at her age to recover from her injuries) and after a week decided that she was fearful and unable to stand or walk. She is now totally wheelchair dependent. After being at Bellbrook for 3 weeks, she was told she had to be discharged - despite insurance authorizing her to stay for another week! Discharge planning was abysmal. The care is safe, but not family centered. They do not include the family at all, insisting that family members leave the room, "while they provide care". I suppose if you would like to drop your loved one off and not be involved with their care at all, this would be ok, but it was not ok with me.
