Greatwood

The people have been very patient and helpful with a challenging resident. The nursing staff has been really good. My loved one has some concerns with the cleaning service. But she expects them to do things like wash dishes and clean the cat box which are not on their list of things to do.

I like that the staff were professional but also very down to earth and approachable. Like that the Independent and Assisted Living buildings were connected and shared a cafeteria.

I like that the staff were professional but also very down to earth and approachable. Like that the Independent and Assisted Living buildings were connected and shared a cafeteria. This means if your friend or spouse has to move to Assisted Living they still can have meals with their friend/family. Plus all meals have to meet stricter dietary requirements. The other facility my Mom lived in they had several friends move to Assisted Living and never got to see them again. I like the fact the cafeteria can be reached without going outside. Other places we looked at you had to walk outside some distance. I know that would have caused her to skip some meals. Yes I would recommend this place to others and I in fact have recommend it to several people.

The community is chronically understaffed. The kitchen is unresponsive to resident dietary needs while in Assisted Living and Independent Living areas of the community.

The community is chronically understaffed. The kitchen is unresponsive to resident dietary needs while in Assisted Living and Independent Living areas of the community. Greatwood lost their Director of 23 years on [date removed]. Next Director, [name removed], did a "slash and burn" of staff, policies and services. She left [date removed]. Corporate sent another Director for a month or so. Current Director, [name removed] came [date removed] and has improved quality of food and amount served. He is well liked. Yesterday we got a letter that Greatwood has a new owner, that promises to "maintain the high quality of care and services that have always been provided at Greatwood. Here come more changes! My sister-in-law has been sick with GI symptoms for several weeks. She stated that many residents were also sick. While having these symptoms and notifying the kitchen, The meal that was delivered one morning for her breakfast was : sausage, bread and a bag of potato chips. It has been a roller-coaster ride for our family for the past 7 1/2 months. I understand the economic forces that Greatwood has been dealing with, but I do not feel that the residents have been kept informed, or considered a priority. I do not think it has been a good value and we are looking into other facilities for my sister in law.

The people are terrific. They are just so great. They they have treated us great. The food is not great, and it is a bit bland. They don't offer, a lot of fresh produce such as veggies-fruits. They offer a lot for the value of money. It's all inclusive, and it's a very good price. They went out of t...
