Disappointed

Have had a leak in the apartment above that they are not fixing. Water both in the ceilings and the floor. Food come to the tables cold. The staff for the most part just tells you what they believe you want to hear, then they ignore you. Their maintenance department is not qualified. Neither is their cook. My mother will only eat the salad. Food is cold and tasteless.

The first day she was there, she was outside unsupervised and fell and broke her wrist and had a large goose egg on her forehead. She had 3 more falls, fortunately minor. They were not the best about changing her pull ups. One of our visits she had soiled herself and my daughter asked them to change her and the attendant rolled her eyes. Someone in the facility stole my mom's engagement ring. We filed an official police report, not expecting it to be found. That was our final straw and we found another place for her.

Our Mom's Experience

It's hard for your parent to be in a facility that is not home but Laurelwoods made the transition easier...mom even transitioned easily! The cleanliness is a 4....only because they have been undergoing renovations. housekeeping cleans rooms and washes clothes. Make sure to label clothes to help them if something does accidentally misplaced. Staff are great. Friendly....I see mom smiling when she interacts with them! There are some new staff that are learning and there is turnover but care is great! The staff are very responsive! [name removed] was great to work with for moms admission. Mom loves the food...has even gained weight! Cleans her plate! It's hard for this group but they go on rides to see the leaves, watch old tv programs/movies, popcorn, bingo, listen to oldies and dance even if sitting! Mom loves the large windows in the dining room....they watch the birds and squirrels. Also, the outdoor area is great to sit outside or walk when it's nice! There are several rooms/areas for them....nursery, old phone booth, music, workshop, pet shop, mail, and housekeeping for them to look and interact with....like at children's museum....all with appropriate items for them. I do wish it was not as costly but seeing mom being happy, comfortable and taken care of makes up for it! Please visit your loved one...it is so sad to see that residents don't have family visit. My mom was at another facility and Laurelwoods is the best!! The staff care about her and it shows!

Mom is happy

Staff have always been very helpful when needed. My mother loves it there. This is the only we toured with her. When we took her she said this is the one and did not look at others. She loves her apartment and the staff are all very helpful when she needs anything.

We are very Satisfied

We were pleased with maintenance. We had some problems and within 24 hours they fixed everything. All the workers have been friendly and helpful. The people who work in the dining area... The ladies who clean our apartments, the men and women who "run the show" are all excellent.

Hidden Gem!

The meals are improving and what we like the most about LaurelHurst and LaurelWoods is that our loved ones have made several friends. They also have amazing doctors there! And are right across the street from St. Luke's.

I would recommend this facility.

The Marketing representative was very helpful in making the transition from filling out paperwork, touring the facility, to moving in. Housekeeping does great at cleaning and food is very good and severed in a nice setting daily. We have been well pleased so far.

Recommended

The facility seems immaculately clean each time I visit. Communication with the family is excellent. The move in process was easy and seamless. I have only eaten there once. Frankly, the food could have been warmer though the quality was good. I would suggest more info regarding staff training and vetting. I would recommend this facility without reservation.

Review for LaurelHurst and LaurelWoods

These facilities are very expensive per square. foot but this is a very nice facility. I tell others we were very blessed to be presented with the opportunity for my mom to live at this community, at exactly the right time.I cannot comment on activities because I have not been there enough to know what they are. Food is also outside my reach, but my mom says it's a lot of meat and she does not eat meat. She would prefer more options like beans, potatoes, noodles, rice, non-meat dishes.

Burden Lifted

The decision to move mom into a facility was very difficult for my wife. The staff at Laurelwoods has my wife relax. My mother-in-law is happy and so well cared for. I am thankful that the staff has lifted this burden off of my wife.

I care for several residents at Laurealhurst and am in and out 5-6 days a week, twice a day. I am always greeted by a friendly concierge, the facility is always clean and welcoming, and residents are happy & busy.

Warm, Caring and Affordable!

Everyone is SO warm, friendly and welcoming. The residents and the staff. We love that they are pet friendly and that they receive hot cooked meals that are served twice a day. Also love that so much is included, like transportation for doctor appointments and errand running. My only mild complaint is that I think it could be a bit cleaner but it is certainly adequate and my parents are quite satisfied with their experience thus far.
