Review for Altenheim

They have a caring staff, the place is older, but clean with large widows, that keep the room bright. The price is lower than most. It was a good experience.

I just popped in a couple times to make up my mind on my room. Everyone was pleasantly helpful. I wondered around the entry open area and the residents seemed peaceful and relaxed. The second time I was there at evening mealtime and a gentleman was playing the piano beautifully. I've been hyper and have called several times to see if my husband's admittance is happening and no one has acted like I'm annoying. Now I just have tomove from a 4 bedroom home and 64 years of stuff into 1 room. YIKES!

Good fit for my sister

My sister is in Independent Living, so she is not really being cared for and she hasn't participated in activities. My sister moved into a home that had just been renovated with new flooring, new appliances except for a relatively new refrigerator

Critical

Staff is unorganised and unprofessional. Patient care doesn’t seem to be a priority. Nurses and management don’t seem to care about the patients. Call lights go unanswered after long periods of time. Nurses aids disappear for long periods of time. If you love your family, do not place them here…

Review for Altenheim

Some of the staff are better than others. Room size is good. My father doesn't like too much space. Food is hit or miss, some days it looks great other days it doesn't.

Response from the community

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear the room size was comfortable for your father. We appreciate your comments regarding staff and dining, as this feedback helps us identify areas for improvement and consistency.
