She's young but her body is a prison because of multiple sclerosis. Even with 40 hours of at-home nursing care a week, we couldn't do it anymore. She has no strength at all, and we had to do everything for her, everything. It was time. She was distressed, in grief, heartbroken. And it was hard. But the people here made her feel pretty good. She saw that it wasn't a prison. She had the freedom to go where she wanted in her electric wheelchair. She spent her first night in the family room watching her favorite Red Sox on a big screen! Everyone was so nice here. Just stellar. They understood. It will take some time, but I think she'll be happy. This really is a great place. It's clean and large and there is so much to do! It's like a mini resort. Thanks, Rockingham, for making Ma feel welcomed. It meant a lot to us.

The staff is…read morevery responsive, answers any questions I have and if they don't have the answers they will get them for me. To see the interactions the staff has with the residents is very heart warming. They are very loving and attentive towards all the residents. They always have a kind word to say about my mother and will relay any funny antidotes they have concerning her. They are on top of her medical needs, aware of any changes she may exhibit, keeping me informed as to what is going on with her. I, as my mother's guardian, along with my mother have an excellent relationship with all the staff, from the receptionists at the front desk to the nurses, CNAs and social worker that take care of her. The bookkeeper that handles her account is also a peach! I can call her any time about any question and I will get an answer. She is very knowledgeable. These are just some of the people at Port who have made her stay there enjoyable. It is not an easy decision to have to place a loved one in a care facility but they have made this journey so much easier.

In four words, This Is The Place!…read more I am 66 and have been confined to a wheelchair for the last couple of years. When my wife needed surgery on her foot (no weight-bearing for ten weeks) she decided that she needed some sort of a break from having me home all the time. I have Home Health Aides who get me up and also back into bed. I was in a local rehab and a retirement community (for more rehab) after the surgery that put me in the wheelchair in 2007. I wasn't keen to go back to a retirement community, but it was necessary. I had bladder infections and odd colds that were going around the community. When I came home after over a year I had trouble with my bowels and I thought all of this was par for the course. This time I was determined to pick a better place to stay. I looked around on the web, and one of the places that caught my eye was Amesbury Village (AV) in the next town over. I wanted a place with Internet access and a generally higher standard. AV didn't have Internet (sort of) so I was resigned to having a crap shoot on the services. I was booked in for respite care for three weeks in May 2010. I never thought I'd recommend a retirement community, but AV is so good I can't let it go unnoticed. The negatives I mention later may need more words than the positives, but the place is great for rehab, respite care, and residential stays. If you or your elderly relatives need attention, in my view you'll have trouble doing better. The main reason for this is the staff. I've been in communities where half the staff is just there because you can get a job as an aide with little training, and in those sorts of places they just want to get through their shift with as little work as possible. One place I was at had an aide called "Lost Larry," who often vanished from the night shift for several hours. He always had a glib explanation for his absence, and the rest of the staff had given up trying to find him. In all my time at AV, no-one ever failed to do their job, and most of the time they would go above and beyond to satisfy your needs. My specific need was for extra cookies in the evening snack (not that I needed them, I was just greedy), and if one aide satisfied such a selfish need, then every aide from that night on would automatically give me the same every night. But it's not about spoiled brats like me. Retirement home residents are mainly made up of people with dementia and Alzheimer's, and when they're not being combative, they're staring at the walls. But people you might call no-hopers got plenty of staff attention. I couldn't do this with those people, but the staff is dedicated. And when you've looked around a bunch of retirement communities, they all look the same. You really have to see them between nine a.m. and six p.m. So let's give a big hand to the people who work there. Staff Nurse Andrea and her afternoon/evening crew, and Staff Nurse Jane and her morning people, including Ms. Boom-De-Ay (sorry, in-joke there). I can't think I've met a single person there who I thought should be replaced by someone with a better attitude. There's plenty to do, but of course most of the people there love the old folk's staples like bingo and old-fashioned music. But Jane, the Activities Director, along with her staff, have a whole host of things going on. While I was there we had a visit from a guy who brought along a whole bunch of exotic animals, including a sixteen-foot Burmese python, a smaller snake, a rat, and a whole gang of more cuddly creatures. Almost all the residents watched and stroked the beasts. To give you some idea of how the staff cares, I had an appointment at a hospital on the day when the lift broke for a couple of hours. Donna, the Unit Manager, not only apologized profusely, but called the hospital to say I wasn't coming and fixed up an alternative date and time - all without asking. Although AV keeps its residents on the floor that their rooms are in, many people can roam around. I'd often go down to the sun deck and work on my tan, while watching cardinals at the bird feeder and squirrels athletically swinging down to get to the seeds first. This used to be my favorite place to avoid Jimmy and Colleen of the Therapy Department, but they found me in the end. What's not to like? Not much. In order of annoyance, from least to most: The elevator is slow and unreliable, but it's better than some I've seen and a replacement would cost a million dollars. The food is good by residential home standards. If you like old folk's comfort foods, it won't be too bad. The lack of Internet: Not total, as you could pick up poor signals from someone's network a hundred yards away. And the worst point? The lack of reliable hot water. Quite often you couldn't shower because the water was barely above cold. They should do something about this as soon as possible. But in spite of these faults, I'd go back if I have to.

My Dad had Stage 4 Lung Cancer had been through 2 Rounds of Chemotherapy, it shrank the Lung a little, but then he became resistant to the platinum in the chemotherapy... :( In January the Lung Cancer had spread to the Brain and they immediately did Radiation of both the Lung and the Brain. Also around January he Fractured his Rib and had Pneumonia. He had a Month off after Radiation and had 2 Doses of Immunotherapy about maybe 4-6 weeks ago. He had alot of the Symptoms that typically come with Immunotherapy. He had on and off Neuropathy, had 2 Falls, had some kind of Infection/Fever, had low blood pressure, has AFIB, was in the ICU on March 22nd for about 10 days ago...Some Medications they gave him in the ICU gave him Diabetes, due to possibly the steroids... Unfortunately the Lung was Stable, but the Brain Cancer had come back. He seemed to be doing almost better in the Hospital. He had been in Rehab at Sunny Acres Nursing & Rehabilitation Center for about 2 weeks. He had a Private Room which was really nice The 2 weeks in Rehab He had been wicked Fatigued, Weak, Had Barely been Eating and Swallowing - I really wish they could have helped him eat, at Home and in the Hospital hed wake up late, order something. At the Hospital he said he loved the Pancakes. Hed eat a few bites, but in the Rehab he was on a soft food diet, had a little Ice Cream, would have water, was trying to eat. I did notice theyd serve a Full Plate and it just wouldn't appeal to him, wasnt what he liked at all or would necessarily eat. And they would come in and serve breakfast early in the morning. But he was the type that would sleep in late, he was never the type that would wake up at 7am to Eat Breakfast. My few Suggestions would be 1.) Try and Accomodate what People would want to Eat 2) And Accomodate at what time they like to Eat We were hoping hed get stronger, and that he could get help walking. But, they had to put him on a Medication to hopefully Increase Appetite, he definitely lost grip, and his voice was off, he had something called Thrush... He couldnt be in Treatment or get more Immunotherapy b/c he was wicked weak. We were going to try and get him Home on Monday April 11th. Then On April 7th he experienced Low Oxygen and he Needed Oxygen On April 8th They had him on Morphine and Oxygen and he died Friday Evening April 8th around 6:30pm/7pm with me and my Aunt Holding his Hand and my Mom Lovingly By His Side...
