Sharon Care Center sits in Fords Prairie and has a 3.8 rating from 10 reviews, which seems pretty fair as these places go, and you can see right away that families talk a lot about the high care staff ratings and the way the team there focuses on helping residents hold on to their independence for as long as possible, which many find important when choosing care. The center is part of Nightingale Healthcare and has Medicare certification, which means it follows some strict government rules for healthcare quality, and it stands out for providing more than one kind of care, so there are 46 assisted living beds, 20 memory care beds, and 42 skilled nursing beds, so the building serves a mix of needs, which can help families if a loved one needs to move between types of care over time. The staff offers 24-hour skilled nursing, assisted living with private apartments designed for those who want a little more help but still want their own space, and memory care that tries to keep people safe but lets them stay as independent as possible within the community. There's rehabilitation for those who need to recover from surgery or injury, and the therapy program works together with diet, activities, and social services so that someone dealing with health issues can get support in daily life, not just in a therapy room. The center offers dietary services, and by the sounds of it, they're aiming to make meals a better experience than people sometimes expect in senior living communities, which isn't always the case in facilities. Residents can bring close pets, the place is fully handicap accessible, and there's high-speed internet, so staying connected isn't a problem. Daily enrichment activities are on the schedule, which means folks have regular chances to engage and join in, if they want. The center states a focus on providing tailored support with a unique approach that uses specific terms and names for their programs, though no further info about those exact services is available due to a server error. Overall, Sharon Care Center tries to support each resident with individualized care, whether someone needs a little help, skilled nursing, or memory care, and keeps the basics of comfort and convenience in mind as they go about their work.
Compassionate rehab, attentive staff, warnings
I'm grateful - the therapists and most staff (administrator Jymmie Reed and the memory care team especially) were compassionate, attentive, helped him regain strength and walk with a walker, and the place often felt like home with friendly residents and good food. That said, I witnessed serious lapses: short-staffing/undertraining, unresponsive moments, delays for basic needs, lost items and at least one safety lapse (left sliding in a wheelchair), plus inconsistent nighttime/behavior management. It's an older, expensive facility - I'd recommend it for the excellent rehab staff and genuine kindness, but warn families about occasional neglect and the high cost.
