Mitchell Manor Review

I just love it here.
I love the food and the service is wonderful.

They basically euthanized my mother with morphine after she fell and broke her wrist. Had suspicious bruises on her wrist and had a black eye too! It honestly looked like somebody wearing a ring punched her and I got the photographs! Avoid at all costs! They try to get my reviews removed, more $ than God but it ain't happening! This is a evil place with evil employees,, please take your loved ones somewhere else! To: Greg Miller's comment below, "I've read comments from other people who had trouble here, I can be reached at tonybudz at Gmail if you or anyone else has information about this facility. I would love to drag them into court and have them shut down permanently!"

My mother was admitted to Mitchell Manor at the end of last year. It was the worst experience of our family's life. There were so many incidents during her 3 day stay that were frightening and unbelievable and cannot be counted. My sister was with mom during her first day there so I will let her speak to those experiences during her review. After sharing her experiences with me, I wanted to spend the day alone with mom so that I could evaluate things on my own. When i got there in the morning, mom had her breakfast before her which consisted of a frozen waffle swimming in syrup and strips of raw bacon. She was not able to feed herself and nobody was helping her. A nursing assistant then came in and said someone would be coming in to give mom physical therapy and later returned to tell me she was told she was a hospice patient and didn't need any therapy. I left mom for about 15 minutes and upon returning found her with a cold overcooked chicken breast on her lunch tray and again nobody helping her eat. I complained to staff about the condition of her meals and I was told bedridden patients were served last and that there was always canned chicken noodle soup to heat up if mom didn't like her meals. Mom went to sleep so I left for a short time for lunch. Upon my return with my sister, we found our mom upset in a wheelchair in the middle of the hallway . She had been bedridden for almost 2 months prior to this. I got the attention of the nurse who was assigned to her and he helped return her to bed without comment and we were extremely upset. Needless to say, my sister spent the night and never left her side again. We, of course, needed to get mom out of there and with the assistance of our social worker from hospice we were able to rescue mom and take her into my sister's home. When the ambulance attendants arrived to transport mom home, they couldn't reach anyone by doorbell or by calling several phones on different floors. They sat outside waiting to get into the facility. I called my sister, who was waiting with my mom, to let them in. These are but a few of the incidents during her brief stay that graphically stick in my mind and will be there forever. I would not send an animal to Mitchell Manor for care. I am a registered nurse and have not experienced anything like this in all of my years caring for others. The care mom received was unacceptable and inhumane. I pray that others who have experienced situations like these at Mitchell Manor (or at other facilities) step forward and report them to defend those who cannot speak for or defend themselves. I give Mitchell Manor ZERO stars but am unable to post my review without a star.

My apartment is wonderful!

My father was placed at Mitchell Manor for the remainder of his life. The staff were extremely compassionate and treated him with the utmost respect. My sisters and I were impressed with their cleanliness and warm and friendly atmosphere. We highly recommend Mitchell Manor to anyone who needs a caring home for their loved ones.

Thank you again,

Everyone is very friendly especially Sue at the front desk. I'm very pleased with the housekeeping. The food is excellent. The staff listens to your comments and they are always trying to do better. The maintenance staff are always trying to solve your problems. The staff here are always willing to help you.

The food is great!
I especially like all the homemade soups!

As a veteran in the healthcare field I can only say this is a shockingly bad place. Don t let the nice wallpaper fool you. While my mom was briefly there she hurt her hand, her finger turned black and the staff never noticed. She told me on several occasions the staff had come in on 3 rd shift and tried to brace her facing the wall with pillows so she wouldn t get up on her own, she was able to, they didn t want her to. She was told a few times by staff to get off the phone she was on long enough. Many family members heard this happen.
She did also say the staff was rough with her, and mind you she had been ill for 20years, she was familiar with how healthcare workers should act and she was in and out of many facilities when she was ill.
If you call this place in a weekend you don t get a person, you get an answering machine , this is mid day, not odd hours.
The most alarming thing was when I talked to the charge nurse, and the following day the DON the first thing they did was to try and protect the facility and not my mom.
NEVER put anyone here

I LOVE my apartment. Its very private and I enjoy the respect I get from the RA's. They are kind, caring, knowledgeable and patient.

Meadowmere is absolutely wonderful. All the staff are a pleasure to work with and are in it for right reasons.

The rooms are very nice. They are clean, they look great and the porch area off my room is beautiful.
RA's are very curious. The cleaning crew does an excellent job. Everyone here is very polite.

I've had the pleasure of bringing my Dog to Meadowmere as a part of their Therapy Dog Program and it's been a wonderful experience for everyone involved. The facility is beautiful and the staff is always very friendly. I look forward to volunteering there for years to come.
