January 26, 2024Thank you for taking the time to share your kind words. We're so glad to hear you had a great experience with our community. Improving the lives of seniors, their families, and our associates is central to everything we do, so we truly value your feedback.
They've been wonderful (despite my mother's inability to come to terms that she is where she needs to be. When it comes to the cleanliness I have no complaints. The staff members are angels. I probably should knock off one half point, but that would be unfair because they are understaffed. And that is more a symptom of the current economy and not the faults of CSL. The meals and dining receive a 3 because the feeling that I get from my mother is that the food is not the greatest.. Really not sure on the activities because my mother won't take advantage of the activities they do have. And that's on her, not CSL. The value for cost is not a 5 because it's quite expensive. I don't have any data for comparison, so I'm not sure about this rating.

The main problem is very substandard nursing care for the assisted living residents. Our family member who resided their noticed this as she is a retired RN. It was her main reason for leaving, should be become ambulatory in the future. She said that there is a lack of supervision of the nurses and some residents suffered unnecessarily, due to substandard medical care. The air conditioning and heating is obsolete and uncomfortable. If the above two items were corrected, the Hermitage would be a very good place.
