Manning Gardens

Manning Gardens stands as an older care facility, having not seen any major updates since the 1930s, and many visitors have said the building looks and feels outdated, with some calling it old, dirty, and smelly, which is often a point of concern for families considering the place, though others mention the staff behave professionally and seem encouraging toward residents, so there's a bit of a mixed reputation when people talk about this place. The facility works to create a calming and quiet environment, aiming to focus on quality care and gentle, courteous service, especially for those needing special support, and they try to offer peace of mind by handling resident needs quickly, with a focus on compassion. Manning Gardens offers a range of skilled nursing and therapy services, such as cardiac care, diabetes care, cancer care, pain management, medical counseling, IV care, as well as wound care and more complex care needs like bariatric, hospice, and dementia or Alzheimer's programs, plus respite stays if families need a break, and both short or long-term options. The staff here provide restorative and respiratory care, though reviews are inconsistent about cleanliness and staff attitude, so it's a good idea for families to visit ahead of time. Inside, the building includes different rooms and living setups, typically offering amenities and programs like meals, nutritional management, and group activities to help keep residents comfortable and engaged, and there are special safety and security systems in place to protect residents. The therapy services cover things like rehabilitation after surgery, cardiac and orthopedic recovery, stroke rehabilitation, physical, occupational and speech therapy, and post-surgical care, which helps support a wide range of resident needs. Manning Gardens says it wants to enrich residents' lives through lessons in dignity, quality, and care that goes the extra step, and it does work with residents and their families to address concerns, but everyone should be aware of the documented downsides about cleanliness and building age.
