Rockin Chair Residential Care

Lynn

We have found an ideal place for our mother. She's been in Rockin Chair Residential Care since December. What got my mother at this facility is my daughter-in-law, whose granddad had previously been down there. I researched all of the other homes and they at least had one bad comment and this place didn't have it so we checked it out. Since she has been at this facility, she's gained 6 pounds. Before that, she had lost down to 84 pounds so any illness would have wiped her out. She loves it there. There are 3 nurses there and there is a doctor that comes in every other week. The front porch is lined with rocking chairs. She's happy and our family is too. She's feeling better. She has been hospitalized since she was there for a recurring UTI. We just felt it best if she went to a hospital and they took her there and then they were there to receive her upon her return. It was just like being back at home for her. It's assisted living and it's a 16-bed facility. The rooms are either semi or private. They do not let the residents just lay in their beds all day. They're up and dressed and they go to the dining table to eat. My mother doesn't walk so they put her in a wheelchair and they take her around. That made her feel more comfortable and more like an individual, so to speak. They have an outside yard that has a little garden out front. It hasn't been fixed due to the winter. It will be spruced up, as we do in our homes, in the next few weeks. They have a porch on the front and one on the back too. The food is prepared in a way the residents need them for digestion so it's being cut up into smaller pieces or pureed. There are steps going into the building but there's also a ramp.

I would like for everyone to know a little about this home (my opinion.) I too have had a family member in this home never once did I find my love one dirty, hungry in fact when we would take them out for a home visit with our family they couldn't wait to come back they called it home (take me back home). The CNA's in this home are unreal they can calm down agitated residents the easiest I have ever witnessed. When my family member was passing they sat with them 1:1 24 hours they took turns so they would not be alone. I have personally know one of the owners for many years her mom and dad were Jess and Mildred out of Princeton. You will not find a more honest person in Lerona I witnessed my self a resident passed the owners had held the check for this resident knowing they were dying and when they did pass they gave the family the check back the family was so shocked they cried. They had held this check for weeks and did not have to give nothing back. The owners answer to the family was it was our pleasure I was that family. That's what kind of people run this home. People today only think about their selves these two NURSES are the very best and I know God has and will Blessed them If you have a love one that needs care you came to the right site this home is #1 in cleanest, caring and most of all loving. Hold your heads up high staff at the Rockin Chair you are the best.....

My family will always be grateful to this home and the Staff for the care they gave my Mother they gave me two more years with her after every one said she wouldn't make it I never visited and found her dirty or any of the other residents I never found any of them in a mess no words can express how I feel about this home thank you from the bottom of my heart I would recommend this home to everyone. they are wonderful

Thank

Words cannot express the care given to my Dad at this Home. They took him into their Home he was given love (genuine love) I never had to worry when I left thinking he was not cared for. I have a suggestion to all whom may be looking to place your love ones. Don't call and inform any home that you are coming to check them out just go and when you walk in you will see the real way things are run. Don't let no one give you a snow job after all these are our PARENTS,GRANDPARENTS we leave with total strangers. And after you check them all out this Home will speak for it self.
