The nurses were exceptional, and mom loved them. The rest of the employees including janitors, aides, therapists and all the others earned my thanks for their concern for my mother. Thanks to you all.

I will preface the review by saying I do not have a grandparent or parent who lives at this…read moreresidence. I am a freelance videographer who was hired to do some filming of the property, but I was so impressed by the wonderful staff and look of the place that I had to write a review on here. I was greeted with tons of beaming smiles and saw nothing but laughter from the residents while I was there. I was even invited to work on a puzzle- something I probably haven't done in years. I arrived a little after breakfast, but whatever they had been cooking smelled delicious! I got a tour of the property and the look as well as feel of the place was like something out of a fancy hotel. The best part? The movie theater room...but I'm 100% biased given I'm a film/movie guy :) But everything from the backyard garden, sunrooms and library had me wishing I was ready to retire lol. The one thing I wasn't really impressed with, was their use of their basement. IT'S HUGE! But I didn't really see a lot going on down there, but who knows maybe something will change. I was told there'd be some new members added to the management team as well which is even more exciting to hear that they're a place that is always changing and improving the way things are done. I'm not quite at that fearful age where I will have to be researching these kinds of places for my parents, but when I do, I will be coming back to Residence 600. It's that nice and it's the exact kind of community that keep my parents cared for active, and social. This place left that big of an impact on me.

Residents shamed when requesting explanations to the point they stop asking for repairs. Then shamed again for not asking to have things fixed.

None more so than Kylie - the resident 'tech help'. My father's phone began acting up shortly after he moved in. A true nightmare when your loved one lives 1,500 miles away. A month of research and even a trip to the Verizon Store accomplished nothing. But one visit from Kylie and she spotted the problem and had it fixed in no time. That saved us the money and headache of buying a new phone and setting it up. She's now my hero.

Salina Presbyterian Manor has been such a blessing to my mom. There is no other community I wanted…read moremy mom to be in as she was showing signs of dementia and I knew she would decline over the years and would have to eventually have to move for more care. Mom has been in the Manor for 2.5 years and has always been treated with the upmost respect and dignity. She started her journey in the Assisted Living unit where the staff were excellent and would always show their love for her. She was always involved in many activities and loved exercise class. One of her favorites was the buggy rides around the pond. When it was time for her to move to the healthcare side, it was so incredibly easy as the staff moved all of her furniture and all I had to do was just be with her to help with the transition. She has flourished! She was welcomed with lots of love and very attentive staff, they have been nothing short of amazing!! She recently celebrated her 80th birthday and I was overwhelmed by the love and hugs she received. Sadie James asked the staff and Salina Technical school students to line up in the hallway and they sang Happy Birthday to her while she walked back to her room after lunch. I have witnessed many times while being with my mom in the dining room, the opportunity for residents to choose what they would like to eat and/or if they want something different, the staff is quick and prompt to have something made for them. I have been so overwhelmed by the kindness and love they show to everyone. When I take mom out for church, upon return she sees her home and repeats, oh I just LOVE my home!! I can not explain the peace it brings to my family and I that she is so happy and well cared for. THANK YOU, TEAM! I am SO GRATEFUL for you!

I am writing this to urge other families to be cautious when considering Avita for their loved…read moreones. Our experience with the leadership team has been deeply concerning. Absentee Administration: The Administrator is consistently unavailable, remaining behind closed doors and making zero effort to engage with residents or build relationships with families. Dishonest Nursing Leadership: The two Directors of Nursing (DONs) have proven to be unreliable. We found them to be misleading and dishonest regarding care and protocols on multiple occasions. Retaliatory Environment: There is a "shut up or leave" culture here. When residents or family members advocate for better care by asking questions or filing complaints, the facility responds by discharging the resident rather than addressing the concerns. If you are looking for a facility that values open communication and treats residents with respect, I would suggest looking elsewhere.

To be honest, this is somewhere I would totally want to live myself! I am impressed by how they handle the individual details of each case, how they respect our family's wishes, and how they update us all with photos and videos of our family member regularly so we are in the loop with how they are doing. They are also incredibly transparent which helps to build amazing trust. We are very satisfied with everything there and looking forward to further results from the center as well.
