Community Reviews
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!
Staff is caring
reviewed on: 10/02/2017 by AnonymousMy brother has settled in well here and the staff has been very caring and they encourage him to be a part of the different amenities they offer here. He likes his room and the courtyard where he can go and sit outside. He does seem to enjoy the food and there are options on the menu for him to choose from if he does not want what they are serving in the dining room. I would recommend setting up a tour of this community.
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.
Nice place
reviewed on: 04/24/2014 by Loved oneOverall I thought they did a good job here. It was a nice looking facility, and the staff were caring and friendly. They provided a good amount of care for an assisted living community, and did a good job taking care of my loved one.
My Mom is finally safe & happy!
reviewed on: 01/08/2014 by Happy familyIndependence Court is in Monroeville in PA. Their sign says they got the 2013 gold medal from the local paper as the Best Assisted Living. I think that they deserve every bit of that Gold medal. When you walk in the door, the first thing that hits you is the smile on the receptionist face. All of the ones who work there are really sweet & helpful. These people who live there too have made her feel so good and welcome. She wasn't taking her pills right & wasn't eating. My Mom didn't want to go anywhere but stay home. Other places like theirs only have highschool kids taking care of the people and giving them there pills. This place has nurses all day long. They said she probably will never have to go to a nursing home. At first my Mom said she didn't want to do anything. The other people who live there have got her to go with them out to eat and out to Kmart. The food is great so she's eating. She said she wished she would have met them all before now. It kind of looks like a really nice hotel in the rooms. Everything smells clean and new. My mom is happy and we are happy.
