Im definitely a hard critic on Nursing Homes after going through several unpleasant experiences…read morewith several facilities... but I honestly believe weve found a facility that works with true patient concern, integrity, and immediate communication. Everso cautiously, because of PTSD from past experiences, I placed my husband in Countryside Meadows for 2 weeks in Respite Care for a much needed break. I based this decision firstly because of the immediate response from the Director, Kathy. She was sympathetic of my concerns, listened attentively and was quick to return my calls for questions. My husband is 2.5 years poststroke with rightside weakness and aphasia. Communication is difficult and always concerning. I can't say enough about the floor nurse, Katie who made over-the-top efforts to make me feel comfortable and who took so much time referencing all my concerns to the rest of the staff. Carley, my husband's Aid even took the time to facetime with me and my husband! The acts of kindness, concern and communication entitles this facility to a 5 star review!

While in Indianapolis this weekend, I went with my friend to visit her mother who recently became a…read moreresident of Independence Village in Avon. I was impressed from the minute I walked in the door. The receptionist was so welcoming, and she and my friend had a great conversation upon entering. The first thing I noticed was how clean the facility is (it was recently freshly painted) and how wide the hallways are, which allows easy access for walkers, etc. We went up to her mother's one bedroom apartment on the third floor and it was a good size for one person, complete with kitchen facilities and a big bathroom. (There are studios, and one- and two-bedroom apartments and I was able to see all of them on my visit.) While walking the hallways, I noticed the colorful artwork on the walls, the theater, the library, the activities center and several other amenities that indicated to me this was more a community than a "nursing home". It is quite a cheerful and friendly atmosphere. We then went down to lunch and sat with her and another resident. They both stated the food was quite good and they liked the selections provided for each meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner). The dining room is spacious, and the staff is amazing, friendly and interactive. While sitting in the dining room, the Director, Sue, came to the table to talk to her residents and we had a pleasant conversation also. I told her how impressed I was with this facility, and she thanked me, but also thanked me for allowing her to administer to "our loved ones that we put in her care". I was impressed! Sue definitely is dedicated and takes special pride in making sure the residents are well cared for and happy. If you are looking for a place to care for your loved ones when the time comes, I suggest you look no further than this facility. It really is top-notch! It also has a Memory Care facility. Although I did not visit that section, my friend said it is just as impressive.

After about a month, I realized my mom needed more one on one care so I asked the care giver for the name of her company.

From that point forward I was able to relax knowing that my mom was in good hands with competent care givers that could assist me with my mom's care. They went above and beyond, especially just prior to my mom's passing. They took care of all of us, not just my mom.

She asked if I would need mostly mornings because those are busiest times but they "would make it work". One date I gave I said could be very flexible with time just let me know what works.

Most aides care, but have not really been trained to do what is really required of them. Some RN nurses will be very vague in relaying info if there might be a "fall" injury. If you ask for more checks on your family resident, you will be told that most likely your family member will be unable to get those checks. They do them, but only every 3-4 hours during the night (when most residents need help in getting up to go to the bathroom, or might feel the need to just get up & walk around). My mom fell during the night & we discovered she probably had been on the floor for maybe an hour or more -- found completely by accident when an aide happened to pass her room. Incident report very vague. There are a select few who show much care, but like any other place some are there because they know how much help is lacking & they are there for an underpaid paycheck. Most aides work another job to supplement their income, so they are already tired & literally fail to be kind or caring to the residents. There was a huge turnover in administration within the 5 months our mom was there. And, we found out that the lead administer was just traded from another long term care facility. (Traded from one set of problems to another set of problems.) I've wondered if the problems at the former facility were ever actually solved. We also came to realize that there were several other falls on this same hall. This makes me wonder if residents were able to be up some, but not really watched because of this false sense of ability. Fall risk should always be a huge concern & not taken for granted -- which I believe is exactly what happened. Our mom had 4 falls in less than 3 weeks & each one was progressively worse. Our mom did not survive getting better after her 4th fall -- she passed in only 20 days. Each day less & less improvement & we watched her slowly pass in greater & greater discomfort. Mom had a good hospice team as well, but they could not be there all the time. Attempting to keep mom "comfortable" during those last 20 days got quite challenging. We were questioned several times by Med Cart staff. We knew what mom could have for her pain management, but still got questioned! There were a couple of times we had to go to a local pharmacy & get the needed med as they did not have on hand, otherwise our mom's pain would have gotten out of control. I'm being honest and forthright in my review. If you feel something could be a "red flag" concern to you for your family member or friend, say something. Report it. You are your family members or friends advocate! We have to be the voice for the voiceless.

Just horrible. There's spiders, beetles, fleas, etc. A serious pest problem back then. I moved in and turned on the a/c as is natural. What I didn't know at the time and found out later from another resident, is the apartment they put me in sat empty for a couple of years. Turning on that a/c blew in biting bird mites from nests sitting on the a/c's outside surface. Initially I didn't know what kept biting me and I thought it to be fleas from a previous tenants dog or cat and I even moved my livingroom furniture and tv into the kitchen that didn't have carpet to try to get away from whatever it is but that didn't work. I got so frustrated that I went online one day and put "something keeps biting me with a gazillion exclamation marks" I felt so frustrated and angry and what came up is information about biting bird mites, that they look like black pepper, and then I realized what I'd been dealing with for 2 weeks. I'd never heard of them before. This happened a few years ago, I've moved since then, and I'm still getting bitten by them. It's impossible to get rid of them and I've called major pest control companies for assistance and they tell me they don't treat for them. I don't know what it's like there anymore, I'm only addressing my personal experience. On a positive, staff at that time did act professional but be careful of your finances should you write checks or use money orders to pay your rent. Always get a signed receipt.
