My mom has been a resident here (Cardinal Way) for almost 9 years and was transferred here from the hospital with a low survival expectation of approximately 6 weeks.
If it weren’t for the amazing staff my mom wouldn’t still be with us.
We find this facility very clean, in fact one of the cleanest I have ever visited and I believe the reason for getting residents up to the dining room or to participate in activities is two fold. One, so the resident has a change of scenery and can be in a more social setting as opposed to being isolated in their room, and two, to make the resident feel like they are very much valued and may enjoy participating in whatever activity is offered.
With respect to staff, especially the PSW’s, I believe they are under appreciated and these positions are under staffed. They can only do so much given their demanding workload.
I have personally witnessed the caring, compassion and respect the staff provide to all residents.
I will forever be grateful to this facility for the care my mom has and continues to receive.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this long term care facility to anyone.
