Community Reviews
Wonderful place!
reviewed on: 01/23/2015 by AnonymousEverything at The Hermitage has been fantastic so far. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly, and were right there for us throughout the whole sales and move-in process. The facility itself is clean and well kept, and the room they had available was just right for the loved ones that we were searching for. They even do a great job with the food! I would give them top marks across the board, it really has been a great experience!
Hermitage is excellent
reviewed on: 10/25/2018 by Patty GarrettMy father moved into the Hermitage in early Sept 2018. We couldn't be more happy. I was looking for a place for my Dad and after talking to Lynette Mitchell I basically stopped my search. She was so lovely and answered all my questions and gave such a great overview of the place. When we saw it, we knew it would be right for my dad. He has had some complications health wise and Hermitage has worked with us every step of the way. The entire staff is incredibly caring and respectful. My Dad has a beautiful apartment and it is quite reasonable without a big buy-in fee. The food is great and the place is very clean. They have tons of activities. They are very careful about who they hire, it is obvious to me. Cheerful, kind, compassionate people everywhere. Patty G.
I have been very pleased, the people are really happy and friendly, and very helpful.
reviewed on: 03/25/2014 by Loved OneI have been very pleased, the people are really happy and friendly, and very helpful. She gets more attention than I expected, especially considering she is still in independent living. Some of the caregivers will come and help her get to the activities and meals. The activities director is very responsive and willing to personalize some of the activities. The buddy system they promised never materialized. Some of the meal requests have not been done, even though they said they could, things like helping to make sure she can see and understand her choices at meal times. She keeps saying I don't know how they found so many nice people to work in one place. I have found the staff to be very genuine. They told me they have the same number of staff on the weekends and nights, and it does seem to be the case. I like the fact that it's a non-profit organization, it doesn't feel like a business. Another new resident's family looked at seven places and when they walked in they knew right away, and that made me feel good. Everyone seems to know her name, and I love that.
Good Value and Location
reviewed on: 09/16/2013 by SonI think the value is great. I guess an improvement would be communicating with the families a little bit better. Sometimes you have to drag the information out rather than it being offered. My dad is doing alright there. He says the food is good. I've eaten there and I wouldn't say it's good - it's average or what's to be expected. They have a whole range of activities - drives, bingo, music, church. We chose The Hermitage pretty quickly in our search because of the value and the location.
Very large facility. market...
