    Nice building, serious care problems

    I have mixed feelings. The building and common areas are nice, and many staff are friendly, attentive and helpful - evenings and some caregivers were great. Rooms felt outdated and sometimes not clean, and the facility seems understaffed and inconsistent. Meals were often unappealing or cold, and I witnessed serious care lapses (neglected wound care/bedsores, residents left in urine, long delays). Helpful services and activities exist, but I'd recommend this place only with caution and close monitoring.

    About Ellen Memorial Health Care Center

    Ellen Memorial Health Care Center has been providing elder care for over 35 years, offering both modern practices and old-fashioned kindness, with a staff that feels like the heart of the place. The center gives care with respect, dignity, and compassion, focusing on helping people recover, regain strength, and feel more independent whether they've had surgery or suffered injuries. Every resident gets a treatment plan tailored to their own needs, and there's a wide range of therapies and programs set up by a multidisciplinary team, including therapists led by a Therapy Director, a dietary manager and dietician planning meals, an administrator, director of nursing, and various coordinators like a resident appointment coordinator and an activity director.

    Seniors can get primary and skilled nursing care, short-term and long-term rehabilitation, memory care for Alzheimer's, and even hospice and respite care when needed. The community provides both nursing home and memory care options. Meals are made by chefs and meal planners, with an emphasis on nutrition and flavor. Staff meets all licensing requirements and gets checked monthly by Care.com for compliance. People can use indoor and outdoor common areas, transportation and parking, and rooms with wheelchair accessible showers, baths, and tubs. The home also offers respite and vacation care for families who need a break.

    Residents can take part in activities on-site and off-site, enjoying things like beautician services and devotional gatherings to connect socially, stay active, or support spiritual needs. Healthcare services include incontinence care, high acuity care, diabetic support, non-ambulatory care, and memory care. Restorative care services are managed by an LNAC/Restorative Services leader, and there's a dedicated medical records department. The home creates a caring environment where everyone gets individualized support to enhance their quality of life, feel productive, and stay engaged. Ellen Memorial Health Care Center has a Facebook presence, though it's not accessible with some web browsers. The focus is always on providing a loving, respectful home where people can heal, recover, and live with as much independence as possible.
