This is a beautiful space where people go to recover, rehabilitate, and restore their dignity and their lives. My 69 year old mother was a patient here and when she arrived doctors could arguably confirm she should be going into hospice, but we believed in God for her recovery - thankfully the owner Jim believed she could recover also. When she arrived she could not speak, feed herself well, and was physically weak all over. I was SO anxious to leave her in this state, but was immediately assured by staff that she was in good hands, and that she was safe. They nurtured her as if she were their family and I knew then even more that we chose the correct location. Within weeks she saw an eye doctor, physical therapist, speech therapist and occupational therapist. She participated in multiple types of activities (finger painting, gardening, celebrating birthdays, and her favorite - bingo!). After a month my mom graduated from puréed foods to a better diet, could feed herself, had less confusion, and was improving every single day. I am now happy to report she is even stronger, mind is sharper, speech is amazing, and can tackle occupational tasks that this facility assisted her to accomplish. It is the little things that we do every single day that we don't realize we miss until we don't have them. When we find ourselves in this place we need somewhere to go to recover - this is your place! The owner (Jim) will acknowledge you, spend time to speak with you, and the way he looks after his employees and is always upgrading the space shows deeply how much he cares. In my moms time there, they completed a beautiful remodel. Not once did this facility wreak of any smell. Jim - as I write this tears fill my eyes. I am SO thankful to God for your work! I am thankful for your spirit, and for showing up as your true authentic self! To ALL of the staff of Richmond Post Acute - you are all SO valued! You are all SO amazing! I pray you know just how much of an impact you are to the lives you touch! I pray that favor falls upon you. From the peace within my spirit - vibrant love and gratitude to you all!

I toured this facility when deciding where to transition my mom after a hospital stay for rehab…read more In short, I met the owner who would do himself a favor by staying out of the marketing aspects of his business. He was pompous and full of himself and put a bad taste in my mouth. It didn't take me long to decide this wasn't a good fit for mom. The place looked cleaned and the workers seemed nice. Most rooms appeared very small though with three beds to a room; not okay in my mind even for a short stay. Do your homework and hopefully, you'll have a different experience considering this place appealed to me as it was close to home and had good reviews. Tours are everything!

Our Mom stayed here for 6 weeks from mid November til the end of the year, 2014. This review is…read moreintended to inform folks considering this place, which is actually a few different homes in same area under same management. Meina Wu, the RN who runs these homes, has a domineering stubborn streak which makes communication difficult, and readily admitted that they "do not give medication" - which in her own unique way says that they cannot handle elders who have a very detailed medication list or have significant care needs. Yet she DOES care about her residents and can handle those with simple needs such as feeding, cleaning, peace of mind, and simple medication. Unfortunately I cannot recommend RN3LovingCareHomes. 921 Elm was the location that our Mom stayed in, among 3 board and care houses in a row where workers shifted from one to the next. The good: the CNA's , caregivers, and helpers are all well intended, caring, sincere, and very hard working people, so again: if your Mom or Grandpa does not need much medication or medical help of any importance, this could be a great place to take them. The bad: if your loved one is in need of important, detailed medicine or has care needs that might include bandaging wounds, physical therapy, intensive care, or simply night care that involves changing a diaper, taking to the bathroom often, or has falling issues, etc, then this is NOT the place to take them. We had to constantly monitor these people: it took numerous visits by Kaiser Home Health Care nurses and PT's just to scratch the surface. They had to train the workers in many basic medical practices such as dressing and bandaging wounds and giving medication properly. In fact I personally had to instruct each caregiver how to dispense my Mom's meds and I do not work in the medical field in any way. The understanding of the English language is so poor here, most of them could not even understand the medication list even when it was clearly revised twice by the HHC nurses ! On so many occasions, I caught them about the give the wrong dose because they could not simply understand adding a 10 mg pill to a 2.5 mg pill to make a total dose of 12.5 ! Again there were major road blocks because of language comprehension. Also of concern is they give medicine by hand, often not washing hands between activities (!) On the first night that we hired night care, Meina told this person to stand outside the room, and we reported this to the agency. Meina told us that her caregivers could sleep on the couch and "hear" if my Mom was having any problems and then take care of it. Beyond the idiocy of this idea, there is the simple fact that on most nights the in house caregiver sleeps way down the hall. If a resident needs help they are out of luck and up a creek without a paddle. The one caregiver provided needs to sleep at night to function the next day and only gets up a couple times to check in on residents. In fact we ended up hiring a night sitter from a 24 hour care company to stay with my Mom. There is no way that an elderly resident with anything like Alzheimer's or recovering from a stroke with a fall-risk or maybe just has to use the bathroom or get changed often, can be safe and comfortable. This extra help costs were about $1000 per week, so that brought our bill for the month to about $10,000 when added to the board and care rent. The upshot is that it is incredibly difficult to find ANY board and care facility that has the medical knowledge and staff to handle ANYONE with significant needs, and Meina's RN3 LovingCareHomes are not exception. Unless your loved on has very simply care needs such as being fed and cleaned, this place will not be safe. I give two stars for the things they do well for simple needs elders, and again they all were really wonderful people, but as described here-in, for our Mom that was by far not nearly enough.

I am going to live forever, barring accidental death of course. My maternal grandmother passed away…read morein her early 90's as did my paternal grandfather. What does this have to do with the Eskaton Hazel Shirley Manor (EHSM) you ask? Well in the mid 80's my paternal grandparents applied to live at EHSM. Since their application was approved prior to the completion of the building, they were given the opportunity to choose their own apartment. They decided on a lovely apartment looking out to the front entrance way of the complex, this unit was also the last unit you pass before the side door (that opened up to the parking lot/street/bus stop, etc). The small but comfortable unit was one of the most conveniently located in the whole building. The location was so desirable, that when my grandfather passed away, leaving the apartment to my grandmother in the early 90's, they started a waiting list for her unit. I know it sounds morbid, but this is an Independent Senior Living facility and they are very practical when it comes to living and dying. Back to my point about me living forever, my grandmother stayed in that apartment till she hit the ripe old age of 103. Yes, outliving most of the people on that wait list for her apartment. The EHSM and its staff served her well.

Unfortunately, like with some other reviewers here, my experiences were disappointing and unhelpful. Here are some highlights of my experiences: - Being hooked up to the TENS machine and subsequently, left alone/ignored for most of the rest of the visit, even when I had questions/concerns about the machine. (I'm talking, 20-30 minutes/this took up the bulk of each appointment time, with the shortest appointment between 40 minutes). Also, every single visit, I was given a different set; seemed like Susan misplaced the one I had from a previous appointment each time. - Having ultrasound gel spread over my hand..maybe 5-10 minutes - At 2 appointments: a 2-3 minute hand massage My hand saw little improvement by even this clinic's own objective assessments/using their measurement tools. Despite the lack of improvement even after coming several times, I was never given any additional exercises/recommendations for at-home. (I thought I might have been misinformed/ignorant to expect more or different services, but even my referring doctor and her assistants expressed shock that I was never taught/encouraged to do much home exercises. I did think that this practice wanted me to become dependent upon them/as a source of reliable revenue) This place is sadly another example of our greedy health-reactive system (not health"care")

The intake appt was about 10 or 15 mins & $150 out of pocket. Avoid. This is a slop shop that will overcharge & give only the very minimum. My intake appt was between 10 & 15 mins & rushed, with a very distracted staff. I do not feel that this was nearly enough time to learn about my injury, or show me how to do any exercises, or do any lifestyle PT coaching of any kind. The PT told me to do 2 exercises I was already doing. This was inadequate medical care. All of the staff were polite, friendly & professional. But rushed & distracted. My guess is that the issue was not the staff, but with the apparently intense schedule & metrics required by the business owner. The owner is promoting his 21+ adult content graphic novel(!!) & singing career in the waiting area. The bathroom was filthy with mystery fluid on the toilet seat, on the floor around the toilet, & on the sink & on the floor around the sink. Trampled used tissue paper on the floor & other trash scattered around. The trash can itself was very wet & the lid stuck shut so people were just throwing things on the floor. Because tissues were trampled down flat & fluids were on the floor, clearly it had not been cleaned or checked in substantial time. Like a truck stop restroom. I should have taken photos of it in this condition, but I REALLY had to use the facilities so I grabbed a can of Lysol that was laying on the ground & I sprayed the toilet down with Lysol & I threw away some of the trash on the floor. The entire facility had extremely hot & stuffy & muggy air. No ventilation in sight. The humidity of a nightclub, like lots of people breathing into an enclosed space. Unclean air & total lack of ventilation is how airborne disease spreads, & how airborne pathogens like covid spread. Stuffy to the point that almost everyone including staff had wet hair & wet shirts sticking to them from sweat. I tested myself for covid after the appt every other day for a week, & thankfully I didn't catch covid there, but I would not have been surprised if I had. Very crowded & very noisy group exercise room. No masks on anyone. After the appt I talked to 3 people in the neighborhood & they'd been there, & both said their appts were never over 15 mins & neither of them were satisfied with the medical treatment they had received. One of them only went to 2 appts then changed to a new PT because of bad service. Both of these people paid cash out of pocket because this place didn't take their insurance. One of them saw that they billed her insurance $500 for the 10 min appt, & the insurance would not pay it. She was under the impression that her insurance would pay it eventually, but she was stuck with the bill. This place didn't take my insurance either. Apparently many people in the neighborhood know this place is no good, & I wish I had asked around before scheduling there & giving them $150 cash. Avoid this place! Highly distracted & rushed staff do 10 to 15 min appts & charge $500 for it, they don't take insurance, seriously stuffy air & bad ventilation, very unsanitary bathroom. I'd like to save other people from having negative experiences at this place - every other PT I have ever been has been so much better than this place. RUN! 4/26 UPDATE: I stand by everything in my review. All staff were polite, friendly, professional, efficient & knowledgeable. My appt was less than 15 mins. I checked the time. The 4 other people I spoke to also said that appts were never more than 15 mins. This is not enough time. I will ask my neighbors to add their reviews so there are similar comments from more people. Again, all appts were consistently less than 15 mins for all 4 of us. My neighbor confirmed that her insurance was billed $500 for 1 appt.
