My mom came to The Pavillion after hospital stays for chronic UTIs over a 6 month period. Honestly, I dreaded having to send her to another Skilled Nursing Facility, as the places she'd been to before were a nightmare. She'd been to Skilled Nursing Facilities 4 times in 6 months and had been in worse condition after each stay, coming home with the same infection she'd had when she was admitted to the hospital. I could go on and on about the horrid conditions of the other nursing facilities, but it would result in an extremely long review.
With the exception that it sometimes takes a very long time for the front desk to answer the phone, I've never had a negative experience with The Pavillion.
From admissions, to her social worker, Mariana, to her charge nurse, Sophia, everyone there has been outstanding. The staff are always friendly and accommodating. And the care she receives is so far above the other facilities that there really is no comparison.
My mother has always had high expectations of care when it comes to anyone who is ill or incapacitated. When she was at the other facilities, she constantly complained about the lack of care she received, and I could see the attitudes of the staff were completely lacking in compassion. While she's been at The Pavillion, I've asked her every time I visit, and every time I call, if she is being treated well. Every single time she tells me they're taking good care of her, and that she's happy there. I'm so grateful and relieved that I found The Pavillion. My mother will never leave there, because she's too stubborn to do the physical therapy that has been recommended. I know this is true because she did the same thing when she lived with me. It's heartbreaking that she's made that choice, because before she became ill, she was vibrant and independent. The wonderful thing, though, is that I never have to worry about her now.
There've been a lot of comments about the quality of the food, and I'll admit the food is not amazing, but I wouldn't expect it to be. It's not a gourmet restaurant. It's a wellness facility, and they absolutely provide wellness care. The food is also not horrible, and it's definitely better than any of the other facilities where she stayed. It's obvious that they're trying.
Personally, I think people who are expecting great food in a nursing facility are unrealistic.
Also, the facility is always clean, and there is never an unpleasant odor there.
I wouldn't hesitate to put a loved one there again, if it became necessary, and that's high praise coming from me.
Thank you, to everyone there, for putting my mind at ease and helping me feel comfortable that my mother is being well taken care of and is obviously cared about.
Without hesitation, I 100% recommend The Pavillion.
