Matenance
reviewed on: 10/16/2021 by Ruth HMy mother has been in Kelso Pines for over 5 months and has had a faulty toilet and loose trim and bathroom since she moved in. I have repeatedly asked to have them repaired with no results.
during covid
reviewed on: 04/06/2021 by anonymousThe food could be better and so could the variety including fresh fruits and vegetables. The staff has a high turnover. Communication is good and they contact us if there is an issue. I would recommend this community to others.
Kelso Pines Review
reviewed on: 09/11/2015 by AnonymousStaff were friendly, quite a young staff including nurses which did concern us a little bit but had no problems. Rooms were a good size and bright with large bay windows. Food was just ok - not great not bad. Two concerns: common area hallways were not very clean. Hallways are carpeted, contained odours that seemed to be long standing and were tracked with dirt. Dirt is understandable given the amount of foot traffic but would be much easer to keep clean (and fresh smelling) if carpets were gone & replaced with laminate of some kind). Or maybe it was just time for the carpets to be replaced. Other concern was that the entrance doors were supposed to be locked after 8 but never seemed to be.
Do not consider this place
reviewed on: 11/02/2019 by SoniaThis place is filthy, garbage in the hallway on the floor, stained carpets, it is an old building and is in need of repair and a paint job. My relative’s room had shit on their bathroom floor, literally shit and their room stinks. We took pictures The food is inadequate There is no physiotherapy for them The staff are not friendly and seem to have their own agenda They were not interested in finding out who we are and did not encourage us to stay and engage with our relative. It was like they were controlling our relative. Do not consider this place for any one you love. There is no check in or out. The place is not family friendly. The administration did not answer our questions or concerns. It was very sad to see the poor condition of a person who had once been loved and admired by family and their community. Who ever put them in Kelso Pines should be ashamed! It is not a nice place.
I wasn't very impressed
reviewed on: 08/01/2017 by Family MemberThe meals were terrible. One day they served them a hot dog, and one day a slice of pizza. They have a very large Alzheimer's area in there. It's called a retirement home but with the smell it was more of a nursing home. We also didn't like that there wasn't a shower in his room. They didn't even paint the room, there were holes in the walls.
