happy in garden city
reviewed on: 06/26/2016 by RALPH HERRERAthis was the first time my mother was at independence court. she is 93. the morning we were taking her there she did not want to go. she was there for 16 days. when we got back to pick her up (we did call to check on her) she said she had a great time food was great & plenty. people that work were all very friendly & caring. Jeanni Watson director was the best we could ask for. we will take her back when we need a vacation again. my mother lives with us & we wanted some place to take care of her as we do & they did a great job
Good and Bad!
reviewed on: 05/07/2019 by Sandra ChristopherMy mother has been there a few months, everyone there is nice to her and the food is good, but I am not happy about the lack of communication, If you have to call and leave a message they don't call you back, and I am not always informed of any changes in her condition. I am disabled and don't drive, so I am not in there as much as I would like to be. She doesn't receive the care that I am paying for (she is at the most expensive level) but that could be that she refuses a lot of things. I think the employes should be used to that though and be able to urge her to dress (which she needs assistance with) , shower, go to meals at the dining room etc. They are like a lot of other homes in that there are not enough aides on duty and can't take the time to spend with the patients to give them a little extra care or encouragement. My cousin had to go in and dust her room, it was so bad. But again my mother could have refused to have someone clean it. They don't have regular meetings with the family like most homes do, only if the family requests it! All in all I expected a much better experience for the money I am paying!
A very good place for a family member.
reviewed on: 06/03/2018 by The Hand FamilyMy 90 year old widowed mother wanted to stay in her own house until the very last minute despite the efforts of the family. And then chaos happened, all the medical problems became active at the same time. Being at home was no longer an option. The family visited four or five facilities. We choose Independence Court for a number of reasons: 1. It was the only facility that had 24X7 RN on duty. 2. Their staff tenure is many times longer than the other places we visited. The day I visited, a cake was in the break room for a 20 year employee. The staff seems happy. 3. The variety of planned activities was good. 4. They encourage the residents to get out of their rooms. The residents seem to be happy despite a bad situation. 5. The call button displays in the halls were not always on. They seem to have enough staff. My mother is now deceased but her quality of life was good considering circumstance. Before you commit to a facility, I encourage you to take a tour. Plus, sit in various locations within the building a just observe for a few minutes: the dining hall, activity rooms, outside the nursing station, common areas and especially the hallways.
This has been the best move and care for my brother
reviewed on: 08/17/2017 by AnonymousI am so very glad that we were able to move my brother here as his care now is so much better, the staff is very accommodating and they are working with his physical therapist to help get his mobility back and out of the wheel chair following his injuries. I am starting to see some great changes in his attitude too. My brother likes going to the dining area and he even likes the food.
Independence Court of Monroeville is a recommendable community!!!
reviewed on: 07/05/2016 by AnonymousMom is fitting in nicely at this community. She is taking advantage of the amenities offered. The building is a little dated but they keep it clean and may be getting ready to do some updates. The staff are friendly, professional and cleanly dressed. I have not tried it but mom said the food is pretty good.
