MENNONITE FRIENDSHIP COMMUNITIES INC

Our mother recently was a resident, then unfortunately a patient in skilled nursing at the Mennonite Manor. Her stay in independent living was fine. She was happy and safe. Maintenance helped us many times with different issues and for this we are very grateful. Her stay in skilled nursing was very disappointing, filled with uncaring, non empathetic people. People we feel should not be taking care of the elderly who are scared and only sometimes looking for a smiling face and a little compassion. Nurses aides would not give their names referring to themselves as cartoon characters. We understand acquiring help these days is difficult. We also know that this is not a random instance as your reviews and word of mouth have confirmed what our mother went through. Let us say that not all her caregivers were bad, in fact some were so kind and caring that it made our mothers move bitter sweet. I am happy to report that after our mother moved to a different facility she has done a complete turnaround in her mental and physical well being to the point were she is thriving.

They have Challenges like all Healthcare facilities these days. But, the staff is friendly and they care about their residents. Plus, they keep their buildings and grounds in what is probably the best condition of any similar facility. It is the best choice of any retirement home in the county. I know, because I have lived there for more than 2 years!

My husband was there for a week and a half. He was ignored and the nurses didn't give him his scheduled pain meds and after we (family members) would leave after visiting him they would go through his personal belongings.

My dad was there for rehab, received poor care. I won't go into details but do not recommend rehab here for your love ones.

Very clean, respectful, polite, happy, and cheerful place to stay! The staff are very helpful!
