Community Reviews
Excellent continuing care
reviewed on: 07/14/2021 by anonymousEverything and everyone we have dealt with so far has been super, and we have had no complaints when it comes to the friendliness of the staff and their care services. In the beginning when our loved one was eating in the dining room every so often, she said the meals were fabulous. They would make anything she wanted if she didn't like what they were serving. However our loved one broke her hip and is completely bed ridden. The outside care services they have brought in to help with her care is completely on top of everything. They do a great job keeping us in the loop and help make decision regarding our loved ones care.
Devon house very nice
reviewed on: 11/18/2016 by Pat GralskiThe sale person Betsy called me right away to help me with finding me a place for a short term palace for my dad. I had my dad come with me to check the pace out. He was please with the size of his room. He liked that the place was not to big that he won't get lost. he loved the faceted there where no elevators. That was a real plus for my dad. Overall it was a very pleasant feeling. my dad has been there a month and is doing well.
They Went Above and Beyond to Get My Mom to Move into Devon House, Like an Angel Sent
reviewed on: 05/27/2021 by David SThey have anything you want. They have food available 24 by 7. I would recommend you check out the community. They have a chef on staff. You have a menu you can order from. They have Hershey’s ice cream you can have. The head nurse and how she catered to my loved one they got sick stand out. They have a flat fee for all the care, no matter how much care your loved one needs. This community is privately owned and I was able to get a hold of the staff whenever it was needed.
A smaller community setting, not without issues
reviewed on: 01/08/2018 by Adult Child of ResidentDevon House is a relatively small, family-run assisted living facility, and its pros and cons are probably typical of such an operation. Pros: a smaller community, more personal interactions between residents and staff, less corporate structure and fewer rigid rules, reasonable pricing that does not vary with residents' needs, good "home-cooked" food served in a community setting. Cons: steady turnover of staff (rapid turnover rate of head nurse position particularly concerning), little to no security to keep outsiders from coming into and leaving the facility (fortunately it is located in a nice neighborhood), no formal memory care program (the sole activities facilitator focuses her efforts on those who are most capable of participating, leaving a sizable sub-population of residents in their rooms), varying competency of aides (some of whom were wonderful), which can result in inconsistency of care, particularly for those residents who are no longer capable of self-toileting/bathing, absolutely constant call bells and buzzers sounding. In sum, Devon House is a good landing spot for an individual or couple who need some assistance, especially with meals, and will benefit socially from living within a small community; in my opinion it may not be a good match for those with greater needs, particularly those with advancing dementia.
My Review of Devon House
reviewed on: 04/07/2021 by D. R.The staff were friendly to me. My loved one was sent to the hospital due to a fall. They gave us clothes that weren't my loved one's after my loved one's passing. There were times that my loved one didn't have clothes of her own when visiting the doctor. There were missing items and we have never gotten those back still.
