My mom really liked Crest View Manor. It has a great staff and is very clean. I would definitely recommend Crest View Manor to anyone. They were great. Unfortunately my mom was there during Covid, so there wasn't too much activities taking place. But it was a great facility.
We moved my sister in in February. I received notice today that her both her rent and her Level of Care monthly charges are going up by almost [amount removed] on 7/1! I'm in shock! This is an older facility that needs improvements made to the building like new flooring, new paint and fixtures in the common areas. And they desperately need more parking and a NEW "drop off, pick up" area. The location is on a very busy street with a very unsafe and unfriendly "drop off, pick up" area. I would tell other people that the A PLACE FOR MOM option of selecting a facility for a loved one was a lifesaver for my family as we had a very short fuse to select a facility and get my sister moved in ASAP. It is a mind boggling experience that I do not wish on anybody. But the reality is that the majority of us will be faced with the need for some level of care either at home, in an assisted living facility or in a nursing home. They had the space available at a price that we could possibly afford with the services that my sister needed ASAP. Overall, being into this journey for 3 months, there have been more PROS than CONS with this facility. Honestly, I'm still learning as I go at this time and I'm just trying to keep our heads above water emotionally and financially. One key of many keys to success is for the loved ones of the patient to stay VERY INVOLVED with the care of your loved one to monitor the ongoing quality of the care provided and the cost of the care provided.
I have lived here for 7 years. i would never (if possible) move. The working staff is wonderful and everyone is caring and eager to help and certainly would recommend ones coming here to live!
