Community Reviews
I would recommend
reviewed on: 05/24/2021 by anonymousAll of the staff members have been great and the care they provide is great as well. We did have have to recently call hospice in so there is some confusion between what hospice should be doing and what the aids should be doing. So there could just be a little more clarification for the aids. The menu looks great, but our loved one is on a pureed diet. The barriers have been lifted so the activities are coming back, and the volunteers are coming back. There is arts and crafts in the memory care, and our loved one especially likes it when they bake cupcakes because they get to decorate and eat them.
A very good place for a family member.
reviewed on: 06/03/2018 by The Hand FamilyMy 90 year old widowed mother wanted to stay in her own house until the very last minute despite the efforts of the family. And then chaos happened, all the medical problems became active at the same time. Being at home was no longer an option. The family visited four or five facilities. We choose Independence Court for a number of reasons: 1. It was the only facility that had 24X7 RN on duty. 2. Their staff tenure is many times longer than the other places we visited. The day I visited, a cake was in the break room for a 20 year employee. The staff seems happy. 3. The variety of planned activities was good. 4. They encourage the residents to get out of their rooms. The residents seem to be happy despite a bad situation. 5. The call button displays in the halls were not always on. They seem to have enough staff. My mother is now deceased but her quality of life was good considering circumstance. Before you commit to a facility, I encourage you to take a tour. Plus, sit in various locations within the building a just observe for a few minutes: the dining hall, activity rooms, outside the nursing station, common areas and especially the hallways.
Independence Court of Monroeville is a recommendable community!!!
reviewed on: 07/05/2016 by AnonymousMom is fitting in nicely at this community. She is taking advantage of the amenities offered. The building is a little dated but they keep it clean and may be getting ready to do some updates. The staff are friendly, professional and cleanly dressed. I have not tried it but mom said the food is pretty good.
They are wonderful.
reviewed on: 01/07/2014 by FamilyThey are wonderful. I would say, make very clear the level of need, because if there is an issue with not enough staffing or anything, then you have no recourse. I hear complaints and I know people have problems nothing is perfect so make sure it is the right fit for you. She can vocalize her needs so it's great for her. I like this facility, She loved the food at first but now she says it's bad but when I addressed it is getting bettter. There is some care that exceeds some of my expectations, the activities people are wonderful!! People should see what they are doing and do the same, the head of activities and her assistant, Sharon and Micki, they get 20 stars, they are just awesome!! They go to the casino and the grocery store, and the dollar store, and they are wonderful. The cleanliness was one of the most important parts to me and they are right on it! The nursing staff is good but they are understaffed. Once I got her up there and decided this is where she was going to stay I felt like a big weight was lifted off my shoulders, because the responsibility of her care was now shared, if I get a call in the middle of the night I don't have to worry because someone is right on it. I think people don't listen to the residents very much. They have some good administrative people there that have to work through a lot of red tape, but there is no administrative staff on duty on the weekends, the headnurse and the front desk girl is it. All in all I would reccommend this place. I like them very much, everyone needs improvement but I like them. I think they do a wonderful service fot these people.
lack of communication
reviewed on: 01/07/2016 by AnonymousMy mom did not do many activities there. My mom passed away after being there for a week. We paid a deposit of $1500 and I wrote them and asked about refunding me and they have failed to respond.
