We resisted placing my aging mother anywhere as we believed caring for her ourselves was best. Following an inpatient hospital stay, mother required skilled care and rehabilitation that we were unable to provide at home. We feel as if we won the lottery in securing a room for her at the Eastern Star campus.
From her arrival we were given all information possible regarding her stay. The congeniality of the staff is to be commended. Everyone whether part of mother's care team or not, address us in passing. They check on her constantly, and we have visited at all times of day and night and found these to be the standard.
The staff appear to actually enjoy their work and make it a less clinical environment than other facilities we have been to. The rehabilitation staff have gone above and beyond in order to strengthen mother to return home. Mother has profound dementia and hearing loss,but is always spoken to with care and kindness. The medical staff is thorough and forthcoming with updates on mother's progress.
When the time comes for other to have end of life residential care,should circumstances dictate,we will not hesitate in returning her to the EasternStar. read more
