Review for The Rutherford Assisted Living

The Rutherford let my loved one stay since I placed him on Hospice and I lived with him. The Rutherford is as good as any of the other places where we lived. It was better than the other residences because the Rutherford kept a Nurse on duty at night and during the day. Further, most of the staff members and Management team seem to care about the residents' comfort and are attentive to their circumstances. The building is an elegant older building and the apartments are nice. The grounds are well maintained and have a walking path 3/4 of the way around the building.

The Rutherford Assisted Living

The Rutherford Assisted Living, a three story facility, opened in 2001. It was designed to provide residents with a superior living experience that is sensitive to their needs. Every detail was carefully planned from the wall finishes to the lighting and carpeting. The facility offers a Formal Living room, Private Dining room, Wellness Center, Beauty Shop, Library, Craft Room and Activity Room, large outdoor patios, and a walking track. Rutherford has six floor plans for residents to select from which includes a studio, one bedroom and two bedroom apartments. Also, we are a pet friendly facility.

what we experienced in the search and where we're at

management is lazy. food is subpar. housekeeping is way below standards. every month I gave to complain they are not following their own schedules. laundry returned wet, beds not changed. rooms not vacuumed or swept. but all assisted living charge WAY TO MUCH for what is delivered. employees are not paid well so where is the money going? most places I visited were like this or worse. they didn't even give good tours, very disconnected to the customer. charges were outrageous for very small units. the Rutherford is better than some i visited, so it's all about being involved, aware and advocate. I list and date issues and speak up. [removed]k a month is plenty to be getting A+ services

very nice facility

We had a few hiccups when she first moved in, but they have been worked through. All in all it's a great place. rooms are nice, open 24 hours, so family could sleep over. Pets are allowed. Only 68 residents so all the staff know your name!!

Friendly facility

The staff are extremely caring and helpful. As far as the food goes, I think they need to have more balanced meals. More vegetables and salads. I would recommend The Rutherford to other families looking for assisted living.

Rutherford Review

Some staff members are excellent while some are just average, but you get that everywhere. The food is good, but should be better for what your paying. Leadership does an excellent job!

My mom visited a bunch with me. She chose the Rutherford. I think she said, "I like it better than the others."

Decent place with a few improvements needed.

They are difficult to reach after 5 pm. Lots of employee turnover. Cleanliness/ housekeeping could use improvement. Regulation of air temperature could be improved. Overall- great value for the price. The location is wonderful as well.

The Rutherford Assisted Living review

I could write a book about the current director and his lack of accountability . My mom has been relocated to the memory care facility. There are issues there, too. My mom is 99 yrs old. Any change in setting would be difficult, but it's not an impossibility.

Our Experience

The Rutherford met our expectations and more. My sister never complained. They had hospice care ready for us. My brother attend family parties with her. To us, everything is expensive but worth the services because we could not take care of her in our home.

Not recommended

My loved one was previously a resident at The Rutherford Assisted Living and overall the experience for her at this facility was poor. There are major problems going on at this facility. I had a few major concerns, the first being the big turn over in staff and upper management. The second, relative to that, is the staff not answering call lights many times. Lastly, one of the night shift workers came into my loved one's room and stole her cellphone. This is not a facility that I would put my loved one in, I do not recommend it to others.

Accommodating staff cares for my father.

The Rutherford has been good to my father. He has his own space and three square meals a day, which he says are very good. He loves the food. The thing I like about The Rutherford is they were willing to work with me in payments until I sold my father's house. It was a win for both my father and I.

Takes great care of loved one

My loved one likes the food. The offer, go to easy meals, like sandwiches. Having a variety of things to offer, would increase their ratings. We picked this community because it was close and because of its affordability. They have been very responsive and were good at working with me, to get my loved one settled in. I would recommend to other families.

Would not recommend

The staffing was short. The billing and trying to keep all of that straight and communicate with the billing person was also very difficult. We took our loved one out of here after only about a month and a half. There was 2 months I was paying and he was not even there, I understand you have to pay for the room but they were charging me for the meds and nursing care. I really had to fight with them to try and get that back. When we were moving in we were not aware of this, but they had just been bought out by another company. Apparently it has really gone downhill. Overall it was not a good experience and I would not recommend The Rutherford to others looking based off of our experience.

A nice community and friendly staff

It is very nice to walk into The Rutherford and have all the staff recognize you, it makes us feel very welcomed. They have a ton of activities like singing programs, arts and crafts, exercise programs and they even have a hair dresser come to the community. You can do all of this without ever having to leave the building. Considering the care our loved one is getting the value for cost is very reasonable.

Roaches

When I worked here as a nurse we would have to help in the kitchen sometimes and there’s roaches everywhere they crawl on the cabinets and food and plates it’s nasty. Nothing employees can do about it. They have a high turnover rate among the entire staff. They switched the name from Sunnington to The Rutherford and think they can slap some paint and new decor on the building and it’ll fix the problems…yeah right. Send your family somewhere better cause this ain’t it.

Highly recommend

The room sizes here were great, she was in a one bedroom and it was kind of like a suite, it had a sitting area and then a little separate bedroom and kitchenette. I know that she really liked the different activities that they were able to provide such as getting her nails done, ice cream parlor, etc. Overall. I would recommend the community to others.

Caring staff

The staff is great, very caring, and friendly. They are sincere, caring people. The food was better when it was served in the dining room. They are serving chicken and turkey numerous times a week with no seasoning very limited options. The rooms are nice sized and the layout of the community is good.
