You can spend days and weeks looking for the right place for an elderly friend or relative, but once you look at Tockwotton, the choice is obvious. Challenging perhaps on pricing depending on one's means, but it's worth it to me to place my mom in an environment that makes her WANT to live (and eat and engage) and not have her in a 'cost-effective' facility the makes her NOT want to live. And Michael and Monica have been outstanding. We are just starting the process and are hoping it all works out. But bottom line is, if she ends up somewhere else, Tockwotton was our first (and really only) choice. Anything else will be second and not what we hoped for. Tim

At first glance, this facility looks good both inside and out. However, if you wish to place your…read moreloved one there, be prepared for what comes next. When you submit your application, they proceed to do a deep dive into your entire financial history. You had better be rich (or close to it) because they want verification you have the means to cover the cost of caring for your loved one for a minimum of 3 years! If you don't, then don't bother applying to this place. The facility managing staff came across as caring more about money than people.

There are a lot of positive things to say about the experience my mother had at Brookdale over the…read more3 1/2 years she lived there. The folks who provide support and assistance were amazing, especially Filomena Lawless and Steve Murphy. Filomena offers such kindness to both residents and their families, and for that I am forever grateful. Steve was a text away, offering quick responses and helping us find who best to speak to in a few cases. The care staff in Assisted Living were incredibly helpful, especially Darlene and Mom's favorite caregiver, Bob, and kept a close eye on Mom's health, even picking up on health issues she hid from us. Mom made a wonderful friend and cribbage companion during her time there, a late in life relationship whose loss was particularly difficult for her. When she had problems with her room, both in independent and assisted living, the staff responded quickly and they were easy to interact with and very friendly. Joe, the man who provides transport, was always ready with a friendly joke and appropriate teasing and always brought a smile to Mom's face. He also brought her several cards after she was out of the buidling for a health issue. The front desk staff were helpful. So why only three stars? Mom was never very happy about the overall food quality on a day to day basis. Given the rental cost and the fact that that cost increased every year, we would have been happy to pay the increase if there were tangible improvements. During the time she lived there, whenever I would talk to local folks about Brookdale, especially people who had family there, the food quality seemed to be a common theme. The biggest complaint I have came at the end of her stay. At that point, you know that despite the friendliness and care of so many people, ultimately this is a business designed to make money and answer to a board of directors. Mom had to enter a hospital and then a rehab facility and we were hopeful for a time she would be able to return to her apartment. Once it was clear we needed to vacate her apartment, we began the process of recovering rent and assisted living care costs that had been automatically withdrawn from her checking account, per Brookdale's policy. At that point, she was in a rehab facility that was no longer covered by insurance, so she was in need of those funds, amounting to thousands of dollars. Each time we attempted to get an answer about the timeline, we received a different answer about how the process worked and when we would receive her refund. When we tried face to face meetings to that end, the director became testy. It took a full two months after she was completely moved out of Brookdale to finally have the funds in our hands. Bottom line: there are a lot of positive things about this facility, but beware it is a corporation - slow to change and respond.

They love the food, they've made some new friends and they've been well taken care of. Covid has meant some adjustments but things are mostly back to normal now that everyone has been vaccinated.

Of course, now things are different because of the Coronavirus. I'm not able to visit with my mom and I miss her very much. However, the therapeutic activities staff decided to facilitate virtual visits for the families and their loved ones living at Madonna Manor. I did get to visit with my mom through FaceTime and it truly meant a lot to me!

OR if you're looking…read morefor something similar for your loved one, Madonna Manor is NOT what you should put your thousands of dollars in to. I had a close family member live here for almost 10 years, and the respect, care, and attention given to her was never there. My loved one was in situations where she fell and was hurt, and after pushing or pulling her emergency button/string, she would have to wait for a minimum of 2 1/2 hours before someone would check on her. I know this to be true, because I have pushed it myself, and it took them that long to respond. I was told by her that they would forget her meals, which is a huge concern because she had health issues that made eating a priority for her to be okay. Also, they shouldn't be forgetting anyone's meals...but every time I would complain or say something to an employee, they would reassure me they would take care of it, and then I would find out they never did. Her safety was always a concern for me because she was never in good hands that actually cared. After she passed I found a list she made of the days they forgot to bring her meals, and she stopped keeping track after a year of starting it. She would ask for help with small things every so often too. The employees would often say they would help, leave, and not return. They made her feel like a burden while living there. Her experience living at Madonna Manor breaks my heart because I know she deserved better, considering how much she was paying per month. Madonna Manor has different levels of care. I was told per their contract; they do evaluations to see if they need to go up a level. Going up a level means they would get more help with their daily tasks and the employees and nurses would be more hands on with her. I know she needed to go up a level, if not levels. She could not take care of herself. She was barely able to walk or get up. She couldnt read because her vision was going, and that affected her medicine intake. She was not able to bathe herself either and needed that help. I could see her quality of life starting to fade because of all of this. Once again, when i brought this to their attention, i was told they would take a look when they do their next evaluation. They NEVER upgraded her care. Madonna Manor kept her at Level 1, and failed her. When she passed and I went to her room to collect her things, I could tell where she died because they did not clean up. It was horrific and upsetting. We had to call multiple times about it too. They have no respect for the people living here, or their families. Madonna Manor does not deserve a 1 star rating, or your money.
