Most of the rooms are big enough for one person. Clean and well cared for. The staff is very caring and responsive. Aaron helped with the TV promptly and Gianna did the cleaning very , very nicely. Sean is a master of all things. He does it all. Haley the financial lady is so competent with all the residents she has to take care of. Activities are super. Thanks to ALL of you and the many others that take care of us. I do not know all their names as yet , I hope to in the future

Rooms are large and clean and the staff are very helpful. Highly recommend this place.

The place is not managed well. Residents often are left sitting in soiled linens. The “CEO” wants one thing, your money. He knows absolutely nothing about elderly care and is obviously pretending to.

My husband and I both loved Roberts. The staff we had were friendly and attentive and would help every possible to make our stay Comfortable. I would recommend Roberts Nursing Center to anyone looking for accommodations.

My mom moved into Gable Pines this March, and they've been pretty accommodating. It's a relatively new facility, so it was definitely clean. They offered a free two-hour service from the handyman to help me hang up her TV and stuff like that. On the move-in day, they had a transport area where you can go in and out, and they provided carts and stuff to help us with that. It all went pretty smoothly. There was a little bit of confusion with the whole COVID thing, but I think overall, minus that the staff has been fine. They have been receptive when I called, and they've addressed all the concerns that I had, especially with my mom's memory issues. She also said she loves the food there. I have the calendar of activities from March, and I look at it every day. They can set up reminders for her, and she has like a little necklace on -- almost like a life-alert button -- so that if she wants to get something out of her closet, or get her TV to work, or she wants to get escorted to an activity, all she does is hit her button, and they'll come up and get her. They also have a website that I can go on to communicate with the activity director, because with memory issues, mom doesn't always remember what's going on for the day. They send us weekly reminders, then they would come and get her or call if she's interested in the activity. It's working out at this stage, and I think they're doing a good job and have been very helpful.

I can\'t say enough about this wonderful facility. After visiting assisted living centers in the Tri-Cities area, as well as into VA and NC, we walked into this facility and new it was \"right\" for my father. The staff is extremely qualified, kind, attentive and caring. My father was initially reluctant to move to an assisted living facility, but he is happy and at home here, and enjoys the luxuries of being pampered by the staff after living alone for years! The facility has been renovated and is lovely. The dining room is like a restaurant, with big windows overlooking the event room, which is flooded with light with a wall of glass windows and many skylights. There are various common sitting areas, and the standard features like an activities room, beauty shop, etc. They have a cozy library - with floor to ceiling dark wood shelves surrounding the room stuffed with books, and leather chairs and game tables with puzzles, games, etc. It is a small facility with 20 assisted living apartments, which gives it a very different feel than the larger facilities we toured. The resident apartments and studio units are some of the largest we saw in touring many facilities. We are so happy to have found Familiy Ministeries Retirement and Assisted Living!

Excellent care of my father in law, 90 yr old Alzheimer Pt, he was taken from Meritus to nursing home for rehab. He was being starved March, April 2020 thru Covid 19. We called Melei owner/mngr of Elisabeth House to go evaluate him, she did! She took him back. In 3 days had him up going to bathrm. walking with asst. In nursing home he was lifted by Hoyer lift from bed to wheelchair etc. She & staff gave him time needed to help him eat, he gained about 25 lb in 6 mos.! Small home professional care, much better for many needs.

It's difficult right now, but the staff at Edgewood Downs is friendly and they have guidelines to make everyone safe. The only ones at the moment that can go in are designated caregivers so it protects the residents. My mother-in-law loves the food. She gets 3 meals a day and 2 snacks delivered to her room, and she doesn't have any complaints about it. The staff has been friendly and more than helpful with mom. She has things she is confused with, like working the coffee pot, but the staff is always there to help her out.

Cedar Crest Alzheimer's Special Care Center was nice, but it was dark, and my mother is a really bright and sunny person. The rooms were fine, and the staff was very nice. They were doing puzzles and things, but they were not as engaged as the other place. They had a little patio.
