First let me say that when a loved one must transition to a skilled nursing facility, if present, the family MUST partner with the facility and be an essential part of the loved one's care. Dropping them off and expecting anyone to treat them like they would at home is unrealistic. Now that is out the way, I believe that View Park was the best place for my loved one for the last 5 months of their life. As a health care leader, I have high expectations and there is a lot of information that I know and a lot that I will not tolerate. If I had a concern, the Director of Nursing, Administrator, and charge nurses were all responsive. We had family meetings to make sure that needs were met. They welcomed calls to check on my loved one and acknowledged that I needed to check in so I could rest at night. The team would have social gatherings for the residents and encourage all (if possible) to attend. It was a great way to motivate the residents. The CNA's were AMAZING! They turned my loved one every 2 hours (minimum) to prevent skin breakdown. They called me when my loved one wanted to speak with me. If they had time, they would sit with my loved one and just talk. The individuals who are at the front desk and answered the phones were very personable and professional. Now that my loved one has transitioned, I will miss the team at View Park. Because of my profession and determination for my loved one to receive great care, I was demanding at times. They were patient with me and understood my grief. Thank you View Park Convalescent Center for all of your amazing work and care that you provide to residents. Shout out to the: - CNA's - Food Specialists - Housekeeping Professionals - Nurses - Social Planners - PT/OT - Social Worker - Individuals at the front desk - Administrator - Director of Nursing I would love to call out names but would strongly have regrets if I missed someone. If I missed someone in the above list, please forgive me. Everyone on the team was equally important. XOXO

I was visiting a patient. The facility was average. Aged furniture.

I choose this nursing home for my mom due to distance from where I work. I’m glad I did. The nurses and care are nice; the rehab is great; and I love the view where my mom room is.
