My father was at The Hearth for about 3 years, from 2013-2016. He was between 88 and 91 years old…read moreat the time. It is a great place, and I would recommend it. Small and friendly, everybody knows everybody. The apartments there are a good size, and everything is clean. It is quite comfy and homey. I used to eat with Dad in the dining room as a guest and found the food to be quite good. The nurses and aides are friendly and kind. The medical care he received there was attentive and of good quality. It is not super fancy, but warm and comfortable. It's location in beautiful downtown Madison is a plus for residents who are mobile (my father was not). My father loved living there.

I chose velocity because it was close to my home and family members had had good experiences there…read more Upon entering the receptionist was very nice. The wait was not long.. we were brought into the room and the young lady proceeded to take my blood pressure with an automatic blood pressure machine. I explained to her that I have a problem with those because they push up too high and it bulges the veins in my hand, and I have a tendency for bleeding under the skin in my hand because the veins pop so if it goes too high, we need to see another option. So she wasn't happy after a few times and my veins were swelling so I told her please stop and she said well then she'll have to take it manually and I said that's fine thank you. Next, I wait a couple minutes and a lady comes in. She doesn't take my blood pressure. She doesn't check my temperature. She doesn't check anything. And she says what what can I do for you. So I tell her that over the last couple weeks I've been very sick. I had a virus with a lot of coughing and everything and now I'm sick again and that I have very bad pains in the back of my right lung so she said so what can we do for you. So I tell her that I would like something maybe a medicine for my nebulizer and I'm spitting up green and yellow and I really feel like I don't know what's going on, but I really feel like the pain is so bad in my back, I need a chest x-ray to find out just what the pain is from. So she checks the back with the stethoscope and says I don't hear anything so your lungs are clear. So I tell her I'm having trouble breathing. I'm coughing a lot and I'm really concerned about that and also something is just not right because I can't seem to get well. She says well there's nothing wrong with your lungs. It's clear so I'm not giving you a xray. She walks out comes back with a prescription saying she's gonna give me a low-dose albuterol for nebulizer some prescription for cough syrup and a prescription for anabiotic azithromycin. So I asked her is that anabiotic OK to take with a heart problem because I've had other antibiotics that have upset my heart as I have a fib and a couple other issues. So she tells me that all antibiotics are safe with all heart problems and if I have a problem with that I can call my doctor and ask him. And she leaves the room when I pick up the prescriptions the two cough syrups that she prescribed were $60 and $80 respectively and my insurance doesn't cover them. My grandson was with me the whole time shaking his head. He said they have never seen her before. They have always seen a male doctor. A couple days later my grandson takes his wife to same place thinking their regular person will be there. She ended up with the same person as me with a very similar experience. She can do her own review but two days later she goes to UConn ER and was tested for Covid and the flue had chest X-rays and intravenous for dehydration. Also a different protocol. She tested positive for flu. Since we live in the same house I am assuming I would have tested the same if I were tested. I am 71 with comobilities and can say this is not the place to go if you really need help. I would also like to suggest that this person that saw both myself and my grand daughter go back to school and be retrained or maybe she is the wrong line of work or maybe she had a bad week. I don't know but neither of us will be returning.
