Hello Everyone,
I am back after a break while settling in xxx into LTC room.
My previous posts focused on the dissatisfaction with the quality of care of Leaside Revera Assisted Living facilities that xxx was in while we applied for LTC.
I cannot not tell you how happy I am that xxx has left Leaside.
The quality of care is like night and day.
I will talk about each aspect of care.
Physical appearance:
1.So much more wheelchair friendly, bright and specious
2. NO – NOT a WHIFF NOT one ounce of smell of stale food, urine or feces and like Revera most residents are incontinent. It’s like a breath of fresh air walking into the facility
3. Private room is larger and bath room is 4 times the size of the ones at Revera. There is no shower, residents are bathed twice a week in the shower room
4. In each room is a fully electric bed (supplied you do not have to buy it!!!) that lowers right to the ground to reduce falls risks.
5. Call bells in each room (much better than the crap system they had at Revera)
6. Call bell alarm if the pt. tries to get out of bed or wheel chair (service not available at Leaside Revera)
7. Dining room on same floor – not as fancy as Leaside but has 3 times the space to maneuver chairs and bright and spacious. The servers come around to each resident show them a sample plate of 2 offerings and they choose. No foul smell of stale food.
8. No MICE…well so far…but I am optimistic and the property is surrounded by park land like Revera.
This is just the beginning of the good news…and to boot…all of this for 1/3 the price!
Happy Days!
