    Skilled caring staff saved foot

    I placed my brother here for a long stay and I'm very grateful-staff are skilled, thoughtful and available 24/7, communicate well with photo updates and quick responses, and create a family-like, homey environment. Their wound nurse/center and weekly clinic, plus PT/OT, healed a foot wound and helped us avoid amputation. The facility is clean, sunlit, reasonably priced, with home-cooked meals, in-house doctor and transportation. Activities are limited and the owner can be curt at times, but overall the professional, caring staff improved my brother's health.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in the reviews is strongly positive, with multiple reviewers emphasizing high-quality medical and personal care delivered in a small, family-style environment. The facility is repeatedly praised for having 24-hour caregivers, an in-house doctor with transportation to appointments, and a structured approach to wound management including a weekly wound clinic and a dedicated wound nurse. Several reviewers credited the facility’s wound care and therapy services (physical and occupational therapy) with significant clinical improvements — one noted a foot wound healed and an amputation avoided — which highlights the facility’s clinical competence for residents with complex needs.

    Staff performance and family communication are consistent strengths across the reviews. Caregivers and nurses are described as attentive, professional, respectful, and thoughtful. Families report good communication: regular photo updates, staff responsiveness, and accommodation of visits (including video chats during COVID limitations). Multiple reviewers describe a compassionate, family-like atmosphere and mention that residents are cared for with dignity; some relatives noted improved health and increased happiness of their loved ones while at the facility.

    The physical environment and daily living experience are also frequently commended. Reviewers describe the home as very clean, well-organized, sunlit, and comfortably furnished. Meals are repeatedly called home-cooked and delicious, with fresh offerings and three meals plus a snack daily. The facility’s smaller size and above-average staff-to-resident ratio are seen as advantages for individualized attention and safety (including COVID-era precautions such as video visits).

    Areas of concern are fewer but consistent enough to note. Several reviewers mention limited scheduled activities (reports range from “activities twice a week” to “few if any activities”), which may affect social engagement for residents seeking a more active calendar. The facility’s small census, while contributing to personalized care, also reduces group social opportunities. Management impressions are mixed: while some praise the owner/manager as compassionate and caring, at least one reviewer described the owner as sometimes rude. Finally, one review explicitly stated the community was “not what we needed,” indicating that the setting — despite strong clinical care — may not suit every family’s expectations or all resident personalities/needs.

    In summary, Able Plus Assisted Living appears to excel at hands-on clinical care, especially wound management and rehabilitative therapies, delivered within a clean, home-like setting by attentive staff. It is well suited to residents who require regular nursing attention, wound care, or individualized therapy and whose families value strong communication and an intimate, family-style atmosphere. Prospective families should weigh those strengths against the facility’s smaller size, limited activity programming, and occasional management-related concerns to determine fit for a particular resident’s social and lifestyle preferences.
