Home Nursing

Staff are doing an excellent job of programming for both the social and physical needs of seniors. I particularly enjoy the FELDENKRAIS program. FELDENKRAIS is a very gentle series of movements which cause no stress, injury or fatigue to the body. The result of these gentle movements is a decrease in joint pain, increased fluidity of movement and an overall improvement in balance, strength and body awareness. FELDENKRAIS has helped many participants regain mobility after surgery, accident or stress that has resulted in restricted movement.

Friendly. Understaffed

The staff is very friendly and takes the time and effort to care for everyone in the residents

For the extremely high prices they charge, the people who live there get adequate care as far as food, bathing and medication in a beautiful homelike setting. But there doesn't seem to be any activities provided on the weekends to mention. The food is fair but nothing special. Everyone is just propped to watch TV in between meals. Every time you come there to visit there is someone who has fallen with stitches or bruises. Caregivers always have to be sought out. I saw a caregiver yell at a man in a wheelchair to get the "____" out of her way! There is somebody different working there every time. The employees all start out very nice and after being there a while they all say they care about the people but the company's work ethics are so demeaning to the point of insulting and the most caring and best of the lot end up leaving. If you express concerns about people receiving proper care the manager with the Napoleon complex has the attitude if you don't like it take your business elsewhere. (your parent is business to him) The honeymoon from when they first opened is over and the prices have gone up. There is new construction of senior living going up along the only driveway into the place it is just a mess trying to get to the building. Nice try. It looks good but it's just not as good as the regular Senior living provided by American House.

Relevar Home Care is a professional, compassionate business with the highest standards in home health care. Relevar is a great employer with excellent benefits.

My husband has been at this facility for the past 6 months, and I have nothing but praise for the Staff and Administrators. It is more like a family than an institution. Everyone is there for the residents. I just wish the government would give more money to help our seniors in need, in the way of help for the overworked staff. I have had out of town family come and they said the same thing, it doesn’t feel like a nursing home and they were impressed by the staff. I thank my lucky stars that my husband is in such a wonderful place. No one wants their better half to be there, but if it has to be I am glad it is the Carleton Lodge.
