I would like to share my thoughts with anyone looking for a place for a family member or friend, in need of short or long term care.
As with most facilities in this day and time, there are ups and downs, good and bad days. I, knowing this in my Heart, I honestly felt Mt. Washington Care Center was the best option for my Parents. They were both very ill and had been hospitalized. Neither of them honestly knew who they were where they were what had happened to them upon their admission, at their dates of discharge, both were fully aware of all of those, and Grateful to still be with us and thankful for those trained to care for them.
Nurses, Aides, Therapy, Laundry, Housekeeping and Dietary.
My father is a Vietnam Veteran, they respect and Honor their Veteran residents, (My Dad being a Whole Heart Veteran- was Honored during his stay, to Witness the
changing of the Flag , by a local Group, and they Honored and identified each Veteran) I truly appreciate that. My mother had never been in a Care Facility, she was nervous and afraid, even though family saw her daily. The staff right away made her feel as safe and comfortable as possible. She loved the majority of them. It didn't take her long to adjust. For mom to accept or admit to needing help, has not been a part of her vocabulary. She did amazing, and admitted she appreciated all the help, and felt comfortable enough to say, she didn't want to go home too early, and not be healthy and safe. The staff played a big role in her decision making.
Yes, there were some concerns about the food some days, some issues were addressed and plan of action was put into place. Both my parents loved that they served Sauer kraut and sausage, one of their favorites, the variety of soups , dad is a "soup man" he also loved that he could get a ham or turkey sandwich before going to sleep at night, he's a hearty eater.
Yes, there were days not the best, but overall they were taken care of had therapy, worked on getting strong, healthy and transitioning back to home.
If in the future either or both of them were in need of Outside care, I would definitely recommend them returning to MTWCC.
I truly appreciate, more than words, The staff members who played a role in my parents being able to be Short term residents, and return home, versus the need to be long term care.
Thank you
for myself and my parents.
