My father was a resident of this assisted living facility for over 3 years from June 2016 through November 12, 2019. He thoroughly enjoyed his time at the Courtyard of Lexington. It has always been associated with the caring legacy of the Hutton family. As a point of reference, we have also experienced numerous other nursing and rehab facility stays for our parents, ranging from weeks to years. We can fully attest to the fact that the caring management and core seasoned and loyal staff associated with the Courtyard give this facility a 5 star rating from us.
My father was of sound mind up until his last days. He loved his room, comrades, dining time and days spent at the Courtyard. Never more fully did he appreciate the care and compassion than in his last months when staff fully embraced a very difficult time with him. He cried and apologized to staff at their level of patience and caring they provided. And we know similar stories from so many other families there over the years.
It is very easy to nit pick these facilities. They are ALL understaffed and overworked at times. Help wanted signs are posted for all facilities in the area. The "institutional" food is always a favorite thing to criticize. This is the nature of a most tedious, difficult "calling" known as caregiving. And it's not for the faint of heart. Hats off to these unsung heroes!
The Courtyard supplied special foods as necessary, treats and programs that brought smiles, supervision and care with meds administered from secure blister packets. Many times, observant staff phone calls helped secure a necessary doctor's appointment to avoid bigger issues. The rooms were cleaned and repaired as needed, the residents were groomed and loved, and the families we knew that entrusted their loved ones to the Courtyard were most pleased. This facility was an answer to our prayers, even at our greatest time of need. We are a local family who visited weekly, if not daily. We are forever grateful to The Courtyard at Lexington. read more
