From the employees to the residents, everyone was so warm and inviting. The breakfast was absolutely delicious! There was a band and several speakers uplifting all the veterans there, it was a very heartfelt, happy time for everyone. By the time I left it felt like I had gained a few new friends for sure! I applaud the Summit for their dedication to our Veterans and I can't thank them enough for a great event.

The next morning, I received a phone call from Pike Creek stating that my mother woke that morning and complained of pain IN HER SHOULDER then became unresponsive and they could not get a pulse. My mother should have been sent back to Christiana hospital when she was sick. Instead, they put her in bed and did NOTHING. My mother was scheduled to stay at Pike Creek 30 days for physical therapy. An investigation should be performed every time a patient dies unexpectedly in any nursing home. How much money do these nursing homes get paid to KILL patients? I am seeking legal counseling.

They don't have enough staff for the patients and the care is rough when someone may have a serious injury.

They made the reentry of one of their long term residents back, on hospice, smooth, and easy. She loves it there, and they are working to keep her there, til the end. Update: they DID keep her til the end, right where she wanted to be. After she passed several workers came in to say goodbye, and they even let the family give less notice to save some money. The renovation made the ace look new. Classy and updated, a very pretty place. There was always a cluster of residents hanging out by the door, greeting, and judging. Lol, as we walked by. A very nice place, all the way around.

He was in two other places before that and this place and this was far better in every respect. Care, cleanliness, food, and atmosphere.

A friend of mine who is living with ALS is currently housed in this facility and almost every day,…read morewithout fail, I see a facebook posting from his computer referring to the fact that the kitchen has again gotten his meal order wrong. Due to the ALS he has specific dietary needs. He cannot have bread or large chunks of meat, leafy vegetables, etc. You would think that the dietary staff, in conjunction with a therapist, would have developed a plan to create meals that are not only nutritious but also easy and safe to swallow. This has never happened any my friend continually gets meals that contain bread, meat that is not broken up properly or smothered in gravies that vary in thickness affecting his already weakened swallowing ability. One of the concerns with ALS patients is that as the disease progresses the patient's caloric intake decreases which compounds the weakening of their musculature, so by staying in this facility which exhibits so little care in what they are feeding my friend regardless of how many times he, his family, or even the nursing staff have told them--they are in fact hastening his illness due to their pure disregard for one of their patients. My purpose for this review is to make it clear to everyone reading that something we all take for granted--food is a basic need, which has a huge impact on our quality of life, and when we ignore that need we are in fact saying to those people--you do not matter to us. I believe that this is not true of the entire institution, but if they continue to stand by and don't remedy a change then I will know for sure that they do not.
