    Caring staff, good rehab, advocate

    I'm overall pleased - the staff are wonderful, caring and attentive, communication with family is good, the place is clean and feels like home, and rehab helped my mom walk and feed herself again. There are lots of activities, decent meals with snacks and feeding assistance, and rooms have extra space even for two residents. Negatives: it's an older building (some remodeled units), food quality is inconsistent, private rooms can have tiny closets/shared toilets, and I've experienced worrying care lapses - long call-light delays, bath delays and staff shortages. Despite cost concerns, I would recommend this facility for the compassionate care and peace of mind it provided, but be prepared to advocate for your loved one.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is cautiously positive, with the strongest and most consistent praise directed at the staff and direct care. Multiple reviewers described staff as wonderful, compassionate, caring, and attentive; several specifically noted compassionate nurses and helpful staff who provided good family communication and made residents and families feel supported. Many families reported successful rehabilitation outcomes (for example, residents walking again and feeding themselves), and feeding assistance and other hands-on care were repeatedly mentioned as strengths. A number of reviewers explicitly said they would recommend the facility, and some described it as having a family-like or homelike atmosphere that gave them peace of mind.

    Physical facilities and room accommodations present a mixed picture. Reviewers consistently describe the building as older, though several also noted clean, well-maintained areas and remodeled apartments. Room options include semi-private rooms (rooms for two residents) that reviewers found to have adequate space, and some private rooms are available; however, there are specific complaints about room details — tiny closets and even a private room with a shared toilet were reported. Overall, cleanliness and maintenance receive positive comments despite the facility’s age.

    Dining and daily living supports are generally acceptable but inconsistent. Many reviewers said meals were decent, with snacks and beverages available and feeding assistance provided when needed. At least a couple of reviewers found the food only so-so ("not great but not bad") and others described inconsistent food quality. One reviewer mentioned cost concerns in connection with room and service expectations, which may reflect perceived value relative to care or accommodations.

    Activities and social life appear to be strengths for many residents: reviewers mentioned many activities, social connections, and services that contribute to an agreeable day-to-day experience. Several reviewers emphasized that staff were accommodating and that services helped residents engage socially, reinforcing the reports of a family-like atmosphere.

    Notable concerns cluster around staffing and care consistency. Several reviews point to staff shortages or inconsistencies in staffing levels. More seriously, there are reports of unresponsiveness — including a specific mention of a three-hour delay in call-light response and instances where a patient in pain did not receive timely help. Bathing delays and at least one report of dissatisfaction with the quality of rehabilitation care were also recorded. These negative comments are fewer than the positive ones but are important because they relate to safety and basic care responsiveness.

    In summary, Crescent Health Care is described by many reviewers as a caring, clean facility with compassionate staff, effective family communication, and positive rehabilitation outcomes for some residents. The facility’s age comes through in comments about an older building, though remodeling and maintenance are appreciated. Dining and room quality are acceptable to good for many but inconsistent for others, and there are isolated but significant concerns about staffing shortages, delayed responses to call lights, bathing delays, and variable rehab quality. Prospective families should weigh the strong, consistent praise for staff and hands-on care against the reports of occasional unresponsiveness and check current staffing levels, response-time policies, room layouts, and rehabilitation program outcomes during a visit.

The place offers inpatient nursing and rehab services, so you'll find skilled caregivers and nurses who handle everything from wound care and medication management to catheter care, incontinence services, G-tube feeding, and diabetic support, making sure needs are met for a wide range of health concerns. People who need help with daily activities like dressing, bathing, grooming, or managing mobility get support from trained aides, while those recovering from hospital stays can use short-term rehab with physical, occupational, and speech therapy right on site, so seniors don't have to leave for appointments. There's also specialized care for folks facing brain or spinal cord injuries, and those living with Alzheimer's or dementia have access to a memory care unit designed to prevent wandering and confusion, with safety features and staff trained in gentle care for memory loss.

    Meals come three times a day, freshly made with options for special diets, and there's always someone making sure food meets nutritional needs or personal and cultural preferences. Caregivers provide laundry and housekeeping, and there's an on-site hairdresser by appointment, plus amenities that include common rooms for games, crafts, and group activities like bingo, outings, or even live performances, so residents find ways to stay engaged and connected. The place also makes education, wellness, and spiritual care available through programs, chapel services, and Bible study, all aiming to support body, mind, and spirit. Whether someone wants a private or semi-private room, Crescent Health Care gives choices, including assisted living, independent living, memory care, or even residential care homes with a live-in caregiver for those needing a more home-like setting. Residents can use property features like dining rooms, activity rooms, a fitness center, salon, WiFi, cable TV, and laundry facilities, while safety and accessibility features make moving around easier for anyone with mobility issues.

    Crescent Health Care prepares individualized care plans and regular assessments, helps with transportation, keeps up with regular vitals and medication reminders, and talks openly about costs, payment options, and insurance coverage for those planning long-term care. The administration, including Stephanie Woodcock, makes sure the community keeps striving for improvement with awards and recognition for excellent activities, plus caregiving resources for families. Community feedback stays positive, with people mentioning the kind, joyful culture among staff and residents, and the facility holds a 4.1 rating from reviews.
