Direct care staff seem caring. Administration pays no attention to protocol, process or orienting families of new residents. There is no assessment for least restrictive level of care nor response to ombudsman concerns.

Eben Ezer has been a life saver for my mom. We moved her there in November of 2018. On the day I admitted her I had a conversation with an intake nurse and relayed my concerns about all the medication my mom had been prescribed. Fast forward to March 2019, she is not on any pain, muscle relaxants or anxiety medications any more. I feel like we have regained the mom we were losing by masking symptoms instead of finding the cause and addressing it. The staff and physician are top notch! I’m forever grateful! Thank you to the “wonderful people “ who make Eben Ezer the best!

Eben Ezer crew is very caring and they do love their folks in their care. My Dad has been treated very good there and some even bake him pie and cookies to eat, which he loves.

Almost a year ago, my mother was taken to Eben Ezer Lutheran Care Center as she was terminally ill. I can’t say enough on how carrying and compassionate the staff of Eben Ezer were to my entire family. They just went above on making my mother feel comfortable on her last weeks of life. Ashley, the manager, was very helpful and carrying. She did an amazing job while we were there. The nurses were just amazing, so friendly and nice. I have a horrible memory but a nurse that stood out was Jessica, I believe she was called Jessie. She was so friendly and nice and being bilingual really helped with an aunt that came from Mexico for a week to stay with my mom. There was also a male nurse that was extremely helpful and friendly. Days before my mom passed away, we threw her a birthday celebration and Ashley approved for us to use their community center and allowed us to bring music. They also offered us the chapel after my mother passed away. The whole staff that interacted with us during my mom’s stay, was very helpful and sympathetic. I really have nothing negative to say about this care center.
