Crestwood Manor is like an amazing cruise ship that landed in a lovely landscaped field! If you've…read moreconsidered a senior community for yourself or your parents but have haunting images of an "old age home," give them up and visit this beautiful, wonderful community! My parents moved to Crestwood Manor in 2005, and it was the best move they ever could have made...for themselves, and for our family. From our first tour, where we were greeted warmly by the staff and residents we met, and at every point through the 11+ years they lived there, the services, support, concern and care at Crestwood Manor only got more personal and welcoming. My father initially thought he and Mom couldn't afford living in what felt like such luxury, but a careful review of what was included in the fees, we saw that it was a virtual break-even with living in their house, without the work and worry of a single family home but many social benefits beyond single-home living, Their first apartment was a beautiful two BR/two bath independent living unit, custom decorated for them before their move. About 8 months after moving in, my mother became critically ill, and only survived to get to the hospital because of the quick work of the nurse and EMTs on premises. After mom's release from the hospital, the fabulous and friendly staff in the Nursing Center Rehab wing cared for Mom physically and emotionally. Every day, Dad was able to walk down the hall to share meals with her...then head off to his swim classes and exercise programs while she received outstanding PT and OT and medical care. The staff even helped us arrange a small graduation party for our son there so mom could participate, and years later during another stay, a special anniversary luncheon with a beautiful surprise cake for her and Dad! After returning to her apartment, my mother enjoyed 7 more years with a high quality of life because of the care, services, and wonderful friends surrounding her...this is a lively group of residents who enjoy games, shows, luaus, casino nights, happy-hours and more, and that social interaction motivated Mom and gave her many happy days! After her passing, the staff and community surrounded my father and supported him, engaging him in activities and never allowing him to feel alone. In fact, when my niece wanted a small wedding ceremony with my dad giving her away, the Crestwood Manor staff even transformed a lovely community room into a beautiful chapel for the ceremony, and residents lined the hallway to wish her well! The pictures and memories of that day are so special to all of us. After three years on his own in his large apartment, and after suffering a broken hip and developing light dementia, Dad spent time in the Rehab wing of the Nursing Center, recovering more quickly and fully than anyone anticipated. He decided to move into a beautiful, large Assisted Living studio apartment adjacent to the Clubhouse so he could still easily meet his friends for meals and activities. Through the process, the staff supported my sister and I as well as my dad, and they made the physical move easy, arranging (and re-arranging!) furniture and hanging pictures exactly as we wanted it all. Dad's aides became like family, caring for him with warmth, tailoring their schedule and activities to his needs, thoroughly communicating with my sister and me, and supporting him in every way possible. We were really all one big family working together to care for Dad, and making sure he was not only safe but happy. Dad passed away peacefully this spring in his apartment, surrounded by family and supported by Crestwood Manor staff and a hospice team they organized for us. We miss Dad AND the wonderful Crestwood Manor staff, but are so happy to know he and Mom both lived long, joyful final years because of the wonderful facilities and services, and most importantly, the professional and caring staff at Crestwood Manor. I couldn't recommend Crestwood Manor more highly. Visit! Move! Enjoy!

My mother was a patient at Community Memorial after suffering a stroke. She had excellent care at…read morethe hospital then the next step was finding rehab care which was at Crestwood Manor. Not knowing better, she was admitted into Hospice care which basically meant to Crestwood Manor that they did not have to care for her. When we were first told about her transfer My father was assured he could visit every day. Later, we were told it was 2 visitors once a week but the same person could not visit. The Hospice team consisted of a nurse & chaplain. Both were lovely people but I would never agree to Hospice again. I instructed Crestwood that she was not to have any medications I did not approve. They assured me but later found out she was kept on a certain drug so she didn't complain when they changed her---as the staff told me. I obtained all her medical records later & found she was given the drug I instructed them not to give her. This probably led to her death.Hospice did not give her any medications. Crestwood cut off our visits, they had a COVID issue from a staff member which they assured was controlled. They told us my Mom was safe, no worries. Two days later they called me around noon to say my mother stopped breathing. Suddenly she developed non-symptomatic COVID & died. Who was with her? No one- they just walked in & found her not breathing. The nurse that called was ice cold and spoke like she was giving me a weather report. I was in shock- this was supposed to be a highly-rated care facility. Several of the employees spoke to me about her care & basically said she was in a bed alone unless Hospice came by. Within two hours they called again to see when I would have "the body" removed. I was told they did not have room to keep her. I did not even have time to call family members, or console my Dad & when this arrogant nurse called. I filed a complaint against this facility not only for their lack of care but also for the way they treated me. I was told to pick up her belongings---I questioned about the risk of COVID for me. I was assured everything would be cleaned before releasing however, they tossed her things in the front seat of my car- nothing was cleaned, and picture frames broke. Please avoid sending your loved one to this facility for any rehab or aftercare.

It was always an issue getting someone to take her to the bathroom. She would ring the buzzer and wait most times 45 minutes. They put her in a diaper after we asked them not to and spoke to the nurse. The nurse said we needed to bring the necessary supplies so she wouldn't have to wear a diaper. I then informed her the supplies have been in her room for two days and you guys put them in there. She then promised it would not happen again but they still left her in a diaper which caused a huge sore on her backside. I found 2 different pills on the floor and one in a cup. One of the medication's round up being my mother's congestive heart failure pill. The nurse then told me and my sister that she could not give her another one because as far as she knows, she already gave it to her. Most of the nurses were rude. They broke her phone and tried to convince her not to go to the hospital when she was shaking like a leaf and white as a ghost and couldn't breath and after being at the hospital for only three hours she ended up needing 2 blood transfusions. The administrator was made aware of these problems and reached out only to ask me to take down the bad review I put up. I then asked for me and my sister to sit down with him and go over everything that happened which he did do. and then had probably about an hour and a half meeting, trying to explain every single situation that happened every single night, including a nurse, screaming at my mother, not allowing her to go to the bathroom and also screaming at me and my sister, when we called to the point where I was up knocking on the door from the facility at 5:30 in the morning trying to make sure my mother was OK .We asked him to look into who broke her phone and everything else that was done to my 80 year old mother. all he keeps saying is that he's looking into and can I please take down the review. And he said his staff needed "better hospitality" and he was working on that.
