Haven Care Birch House

Haven Care Birch House Facilities are clean and well maintained. Patient care ratio is 5:1. Keep in mind the one care giver provides all care for the residents as well as meal preparation, cleaning, and laundry. We have noted that showers do not follow any schedule and are given on a as needed basis or when time is available. Although an activities schedule is available, we have not witnessed any activity sessions, we do visit at different times and days. Overall we feel are loved one is well cared for and is safe

Response from the community

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Birch House. We appreciate your recognition of the cleanliness of the home, the safety of the environment, and the care being provided to your loved one. Our small residential setting allows caregivers to become familiar with each resident’s individual needs, preferences, and daily routines. Personal care, including bathing, is based on each resident’s care plan, condition, comfort, and needs; however, we understand the importance of consistency and clear communication with families. We also appreciate your comments regarding scheduled activities. Activities should be meaningful, appropriate to each resident’s abilities, and consistently offered. Your feedback gives us an opportunity to review both the activity schedule and how participation is being communicated to families. Most importantly, we are pleased to hear that you feel your loved one is safe and well cared for. Please feel welcome to speak directly with our management team about any concerns or suggestions so we can continue improving your family’s experience.

Haven Care Better Than H

My experience with a Haven Care placement for my mother was completely positive. She received personalized care in a home-like environment with dedicated caretakers. The small number of residents was an attractive feature to me, offering fellowship in a small friendly group, instead of getting lost in the busy flow of a large facility. The quality of care and overall atmosphere was impressive. The caretakers were competent and seemed completely unflappable. Their exceptional calm was noteworthy. Besides, they were

Haven Care Memory Care review

My mother is currently a resident at Haven Care Birch House. The staff is a mix, three of the providers are terrific and one is very non caring. The Activities are the only thing that I would rate lower than a 4. The residents do sit and watch TV a lot.

Response from the community

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're glad to hear that you've had positive experiences with several of our staff members, and we truly appreciate your recognition of their care and dedication. However, we’re sorry to learn that one provider hasn’t met your expectations, and we’ll be looking into this to ensure all staff maintain the high standard of care we expect. Your feedback about the activities is also valuable. We understand how important engaging activities are for our residents, and we’ll be reviewing this area to see how we can improve. While television can be a source of relaxation, we aim to offer a variety of stimulating activities to enrich their daily lives. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and for trusting us with your mother's care. Please feel free to reach out if you'd like to discuss any concerns further—we’re here to help.

Excellent memory care home

There is nothing bad I can say about Haven Care. My Mother is living at another of their houses - they are both fantastic. We were fortunate to find them and be able to place my mom. They are indeed specialists in memory care and handle everything with skill and caring. Everyone who visits my mom is overwhelmed with the house, which is beautiful, and the care she receives. No one thought she would make the transition, but she is doing well. There is a seamless communication between the doctor, caregivers, manag
