I cannot say enough good things about Carmel Manor since my Sister in law become a resident in May 2023. The staff from the receptionist to the director is terrific. The healthcare providers, which are predominantly composed of Carmel employees as contrasted to"Agency" staff (external care providers) , all lead with kindness, empathy, and a strong desire to support residents well. Carmel also has caring external providers coming on- site to deliver certain medical services which is most convenient for the residents and medication management is thereby enhanced. It's maintenance, housekeeping, laundry, and dining services, too, add to the superior I care receive. The outdoor deck (and other views) overlooking the Ohio River is simply breathtaking. In sum, Carmel is a place that residents can readily call home, can have a healthy, happy life with round -the - clock care ( 24/7 ) given their unique needs by an array of healthcare providers and others.

I can count on one hand how many professional staff I have come across. I have yet to see a person smile and be happy about their job. It would be nice if 3rd Shift staff didn't bang on the doors as loud as they can waking up the residents, upon entering. The vibe I get is that people are either burned out or unhappy about their place of work. Call lights very seldom get answered

My father was at this location for 11 months. The food was terrible, response time for assistance was 45 minutes or longer. Some aids were good, some were terrible. For the cost I would never send a loved one to this place again. Very disappointed!

Such a nice place to visit. It's got multiple entrances at the same address. What looks like 2 separate buildings is actually one address, with a subterranean tunnel connecting them. Workers there are very friendly. The entrances are easily wheelchair accessible, making pickups and drop-offs quite easy for clientele.

My wife developed dementia and was accepted by Carmel Manor for care on their memory care floor 12/01/2022. The facilities are very nice and the location on the river is spectacular. The Christian influence is a real plus as the sisters are always making sure that everyone is treated with care and respect. Since Tony Ughetti became director everything has greatly improved, including the ratio of in-house staff to contract, facilities appearance, food quality and monthly meetings with relatives. Although a good place for a loved one before, it’s now excellent and still improving. Highly recommend.
