Letter: A
caring staff My husband has been
in Pleasant Meadow Manor for two years. I have dealt
with three other nursing homes in the past and have
found this one to be the best.
The staff are caring and
understanding for residents as well as families. I have
always found my husband to be clean and well looked
after.
There are plenty of activities
within the home. The activity staff have introduced
some new programming that is suited for my husband,
who is passive.
The meals exceeded my expectations
for a nursing home. They are delicious. The staff often
ask if I'd like to join my husband for lunch. At Christmas
time, the dietary staff put on a fantastic dinner for
families and residents followed by a singsong. They
offer this at no extra cost!
I am very pleased with all the aspects of care given
directly and indirectly to my husband.
