A Place for Mom has scored Goddard House with 2 out of 10 using our proprietary review score based on 2 reviews in the last 2 years. Over all time, Goddard House has 3 reviews with an average "overall experience" of 1.5 out of 5.
Loved one lived at Goddard for many years. I agree with other reviewer, Goddard could be so much more for their residents, but their board structure and outside management company are out of date in business or non-profit practices. While there, we saw a gastrointestinal virus spread throughout the whole community from their kitchen to which leadership was slow to respond. Many bathrooms are outdated and have resulted in resident accidents. Agree, executive director changed 4 times, head of nursing 3 and head chef 4 times. This place is running on an old reputation and needs better oversight. The head of marketing is terrific if you are on the wait list but once you move in, expect nothing. Favoritism is ramped and starts with their board chair. Look elsewhere; save yourself heaps of problems.

My mother has been here now for several years and if I could afford to move her I would. The stars are for the wonderful caregivers- they get a 5, and it’s why my mom is happy there. The families on the other hand are incredibly frustrated. My mother moved in and we received no welcome packet- neither of us. There was not a single meeting with my mother or me after she moved in ever. reaching the head nurse to set up an appt was impossible. Why? Who knows. The turnover of the directors and the head nurses are annual- this director has lasted 2 years, but she is the 4th in 5? 6? Years. We can’t even keep up with their names! The AM receptionist is great, but none of the others know what’s going on day to day- not the support groups, hair stylist, et -how do you not know who is coming in the facility each day, or their schedules? the director doesn’t even know! NO Mediterranean diet. Pizza. Turkey tetrazzini. Wings. & tons of sugar from morn to eve. It used to be great 10 yrs ago

A Place for Mom has scored Goddard House 2 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.
We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.
Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
