Great Place but needs more activities!
reviewed on: 04/22/2015 by AnonymousDad is 88 years old,and mom died here about 2 months ago and hes pretty bored. Matter of fact i have it on my list of things to talk about with the director,but its a great place i can not say one bad word beside dad needs to get out more. The staff is great they take care business at the drop of a dime,so to me that is what really matters.
Going downhill fast
reviewed on: 11/02/2017 by AnonymousMy mom was staying here before she had to go into rehab and after she left rehab to come back, they wouldn’t take her back. The nurse that had been working with my mom said that she was at the same level of care as she was before leaving, however the new director disagreed and said she was past a level of care that they could handle even though she had never actually met my mom or done an evaluation. They’ve had some significant management turnover it seems and they seem to be going downhill a great deal. I would not recommend them.
Good care
reviewed on: 01/01/2019 by Dan ThomasOur mother recently passed away. She had been at Chaucer Estates for almost 5 years. During that time we did not ever have any problems with the care that they provided her. They checked on her frequently and were good to her.
It was good, if we hadn't gotten in where we did this would have been a runner up.
reviewed on: 04/10/2014 by AnonymousIt was good, if we hadn't gotten in where we did this would have been a runner up. I was just more impressed by another option we were looking at. The staff was friendly, it was clean, everything was there.
A Family for Mom
reviewed on: 10/31/2016 by Janice KellyI have been very impressed by the family feeling that prevades Chaucer Estates. Every staff member shows such sincerity it makes me feel that Mother is going to be cared for as if I were there.
