Love how we can get so much done on site like haircuts, doctor's appt, podiatrist/foot care, physical therapy, prescriptions, etc. I'm really happy my Dad is living there. He is being well cared for and is working on getting his strength back after some serious health issues. The staff has been very responsive, and Sarah has been great about sharing information/updates. Also, he tells me the food is EXCELLENT.

As a concerned family member of a resident at Springbrook Center, I am compelled to provide a…read morereview of Springbrook Nursing Home. I will begin by saying that the facility was unclean, Housekeeping staff were rarely visible. His room was not clean, floors are not washed, sinks are cleaned by me, the bathroom smells of urine. Linen supplies are scarce at times. The caregivers need to be reminded to provide bedside care, repositioning patients that needed to be repositioned while in bed to prevent pressure sores. Rodent dropping have been noted in some areas! The food is deplorable, my relative relies on family to provide nutritious meals. My reason for keeping my relative at Springbrook is because I am able to see my relative daily, which enables me to monitor his care, and ensure his safety. Anonymous

It has been a nightmare since day one. One of our family feels the need to be there almost daily to check on my mom.

My mother was a resident at the Inn at Village Square during the past two years, and we had a…read morewonderfully positive experience. The caring and professionalism extend throughout every aspect of the community. The staff readily identified health concerns and sought to remedy them by referencing patient history and reaching out to doctor. They offered a full calendar of activities each week, as well as 'pop-up' events like ice cream socials. Whenever I visited, there were always residents outside (weather permitting) enjoying the sunshine, getting some exercise, and being social with each other. During the last challenging six months of the coronavirus, my mother frequently voiced how safe and cared for she felt as everyone at the Inn scrupulously adhered to guidelines in order to protect residents. My family and I appreciate their commitment to building community, their collaboration with family, and their dedication to the health and welfare of the residents.

Our friend was put into The Wood at Canco Retirement Home Portland Me. 3 years ago. Things changed…read moreover the 3 years. What she were told when she went in to The Wood at Canco and what she received over the time she was there was a great big LIE. Lie number 1. She was told she would have a ride to doctor appointments in the company van. Shortly after she got there they lost they driver and never got another one. And from what we seen and heard there never tried to get another driver. Lie number 2. She needed her ears taken care of she couldn't hear, this never got done they told her they had an onsite nurse. Not much help if any from any nurse the whole time she was there. Lie number 3. After time goes by she would be checked on to see if she would have to move to another part of the building for when she would need full care. That meant her would go into hospice care when the time came and she would be allowed to pass there, that never happened. Lie number 4. When she was getting so she could not manage alone anymore they said she need to go some were else for hospice care. She was told she could live out the rest of her life there. That was one of the biggest lies, a very CRUEL thing to do to a person close to the end of there life. The big thing for going there was to live out her life there and not have to have to much change that late in life. Pretty crappy for $7000.00 a month. After some time there the cleaning was lacking, the food started to slip and a big lack of help. When they moved her out they told her they would send the things not needed anymore to Goodwill then they informed her she needed to pay more than $400.00 to have her things removed that was LIE number 5. and Now she is in the City Hospital costing her even more. No person at 100 years old should have to go threw things like these. These places suck your money dry then throw you out like a bag of trash. Lies on top of Lies I hope people read this and will pass the word and never to put your loved ones in this retirement home.

Short staffed. They do not fix or repair problems in the unit. They "send" someone who looks and…read morethen never fixes things like broken doors or the cable. They tell you they have a good medical alert system in place and will notify you in an emergency. (Primary reason we are there.) Not so. My father fell and no one was alerted or notified. He was alone and a caregiver aid I privately hired found him on the floor with injuries. I brought this to the attention of management. No response. Nothing. No follow up. Just a blank stare. So, don't expect anything in terms of emergency. Residents are in their own. Meals are rigid. No flexibility whatsoever. The meal system is difficult if you don't want to race to a meal 30 minutes early then wait for an hour and a half, then, you are out of luck. Unless, you want to fill their forms out 3 times per day for every meal. Just a ridiculous system. Yet, you pay for it. Billing is terrible. No statements. They don't explain charges and they don't correct charges. They overbill. They sell you on the monthly charges and claim it's month to month. They rush you through a lease with errors. Then you find out it's a 3 month minimum and an additional 30 day notice. They don't disclose this at the outset. They state it's month to month. Just terrible business practices. Very false advertising and misleading. If you object or complain, they just ignore you. I'd be careful staying here. I think, they are dishonest.

I only say good because the largest meal is at lunch time. The dinner meal only consists of sandwiches. When I was growing up , lunch was a sandwich and dinner was the main meal of the day. Also they are pricing the residents out of the facility. Most residents are living on their retirement income. Once the monthly payment reaches above $3 to 4 thousand dollars, residents have to make a decision on what to do.
