My wife suffered from early onset Alzheimer’s disease and lived at the Iroquois nursing home for 8 months in 2022. The facility provided an excellent experience for both my wife and me. I visited numerous other nursing homes with serious staff issues ranging from malcontent to inattentiveness. Many smelled of feces and urine in the hallways and the residents were left in the corridors by themselves in their pjs all day to marinate in their own excrement. The Iroquois staff, on the other hand, excel at their jobs and the facility is top-notch!! Here are a small number of my observations: (1) The facility was always nice and clean. (2) The patients were well cared for with more intensive attention to those who needed it (eg - the aids often spoon-fed the sickest) (3) The staff was cheerful & really payed attention to patients, even braiding women’s hair and putting on earrings. (3) Those in diapers were checked regularly. (4) The dinning/community area is great for the patients
My loved one is a resident at Brookdale East Side. I would recommend this facility to others. The food is just okay. The housekeeping is good. I love the staff, they are very on top of things.
I was reluctant to move to assisted living. I have always lived on my own. My family and doctor we're very persistent that I needed the extra help. I have to say, as much as I hate to admit it, they were right. The staff here have been so sweet and helpful. It's like have 5 grandchildren around at any given time. I have a bad knee that I have always struggled through. With all the help I have to strain so much less and my knee feels better than it has in years. Don't be stubborn like I was, accept the help and you'll see a big change in your life.
