My mother stayed at Norwood Crossing for 3 months while she recovered from a spinal fusion. All of…read morethe doctors, nurses, therapists, and staff were very nice. The facilities were clean and easy to find parking at. There is a ton of extracurricular activities for the guests and residents too, such as gardening, painting, and movie nights. The food was standard, but there are also separate restaurants that offer food that's a little more high end. The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars were because the rehabilitation bedrooms are a little dark and drab. And we also ran into one transport issue trying to bring my mom to Presence for a doctors appointment. She was late getting to the hospital and the nursing home claimed she was stuck in traffic. However, because I track my mother, I knew she had yet to leave the nursing home. I was disappointed that they lied instead of just saying that they forgot about her. Other than that, I would recommend touring the facility yourself to see if it's the right fit for your elder. In comparison to other nearby facilities, we were pleased and would send our parents back there for a stay if need be without hesitation.

When I lived back in A-605 I said I'd never live "over there." But if you get shaky and lose your balance It's good to be living with helpful people who care. Here they wait on us hand and foot. Sheets are changed. Laundry is done. We are fed well three times a day. A wheelchair ride to the beauty parlor is fun. If I get lonely for my old pals Or need some more library books, I can go over to my old haunts And see how the art display looks. Life is different, but everyone is kind. This is a safe haven for our declining years. So never say never, you might have to eat your words And find no reason for your silly fears. Virginia W. Happy Resident :)

Several months ago I'd grown increasingly worried about my mom's safety at home. The day we were to…read morediscuss assisted living with her doctor, I found myself calling 911 and sending her to the hospital for what would be 51 days, sepsis, 2 surgeries & 2 rehab stints. Having her return home was no longer an option; which led me to quickly get to up to speed on senior living options,mostly on my own. I found her a place & moved her in all before her release. While I ensured her safety, I second guessed my decisions as she vocally struggled to adjust; it was a lot of change particularly for someone who rarely left her home. Almost 6 months in, a different set of doubts & worries took over. Did I make the right call, could she live somewhere more affordable, would she outlive her money, etc. I don't even recall what search term led me to Senior Living Experts, but I'm grateful. Rebecca listened to my story and made me feel less alone. She thought where my mom was at was the best option in terms of cost, desired location and care needs addressed, but would do the research and circle back. We also discussed the care she received currently and provided a few suggestions. As promised, Rebecca followed up and confirmed her initial assessment. Yes, I'll still worry about her finances, but I now have a better understanding of the landscape and what comes should her care needs increase. If I had a do over, I would have started with Senior Living Experts, they are amazing!

She was recently sent to hospital and denied re-admission to CBV. This caused us to scramble last minute trying to find another facility. When we called to question this decision we were referred to someone in marketing, Megan. Megan was beyond rude and unhelpful. She couldn't tell me why my LO was denied re-admission and also wouldn't give me access to the clinical team. I reached out to Jazmine (always amazing and helpful) in social work and she gave me the number to contact one of the nursing directors. I've yet to hear back. I have filed complaints with the state and the ombudsman program. There are proper protocols to follow in cases like this and they cannot refuse to give a clinical reason for denial. Hopefully this helps other families. I would avoid this facility as patient care is not the priority as much as their reimbursement is. That is the only possibility for reason of denial as they could not or would not give us a clinical reason.
