When I was looking for an assisted living facility for my father, I knew that I wanted a community that would encompass assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing with therapy rehabilitation if it was needed. The Gables on Pelham has all of these resources on site and seemed to be the perfect solution. Right from the start, the people we were dealing with were friendly and caring.
My 95 year old father has been at The Gables for about a year and a half and has really flourished. He has made some great friends and has been getting physical therapy regularly. He has been able to walk on his own without any assistance, not even with a walker, and is receiving therapy twice a week. It has made a significant difference in his mobility.
A few weeks ago, my father suffered a fall in his room. As soon as they realized something was wrong, the staff was quick to respond. Cynethia Allison, the Health and Wellness Director, contacted me immediately. She explained what happened and had EMS take him to the emergency room. He was hospitalized for a couple of days. During his entire stay at the hospital, Cynethia reached out to me several times to check on his status. She is a professional, caring person who exhibits an unbelievable amount of compassion and empathy. The Gables welcomed him back into skilled nursing to begin his rehabilitation and was there just a few days. Unlike some rehab facilities, there was no question about admitting him into skilled nursing from the hospital since he was a resident at The Gables. The staff there made the entire process a smooth transition.
Cynethia again stayed in constant touch with me on his progress. He was moved back to his own apartment where she set up on-site physical therapy. She arranged for his meals to be delivered to his apartment daily until he had the confidence to walk on his own back to the dining room.
The entire staff at The Gables on Pelham really showed their concern by not only speaking with me while on my regular visits to see my father, but stopping in to see him and his progress, too. Cynethia's team members are super nice to him and always go above and beyond in his care. Her leadership is evident in their training.
After this incident I am confident that our choice, The Gable on Pelham, was the best choice for my father. Their associates are, in my opinion, among the best, from nursing, administration, and marketing, to maintenance. Each associate displays an enormous amount of pride and care. I am forever indebted to them and at total peace knowing that every moment of every day my father is safe and in excellent hands. read more
