I love the people working at Genesis Healthcare - a long term care facility. Although the place is a little dated, that is minimal compared to all the good people working there and the good work they are doing. I want to explain the situation: my youngest brother (39) is seriously immobile due to a health condition that caused him to have a bilateral stroke. Which means he is unable to care for or dress himself, nor can he speak or even eat on his own. And to make thing more difficult, I live very far away (several hours of travel). The staff are my eyes and ears and they contact me about everything. And during my visits, they are even helpful with me and the family I bring along for our visits. The people at Genesis, in my view, have totally stepped it up when it comes to caring for my brother, helping him be the best he can be, and they speak up for him to ensure all his needs and care are met (even with me). I totally appreciate that his needs are first and foremost. They are all loving and kind caretakers. From the moment you are given access (this is a secured facility) you are greeted and treated with respect. The receptionist (no matter who is there - BUT a big thanks to Sandy) is helpful and guides you through any of the processes while visiting your loved one and how to navigate wherever you need to go. All the personnel are welcoming and helpful. Several personnel know me now and they let me know my brothers progress during every visit and communication. I totally appreciate the supportive environment. Genesis personnel are a blessing. I want to give a shout out to Cynthia (she has been there every time I have visited) - Great Nurse! Seeing the smiles from my brother warms my heart. They ensure that he has music playing (he loves music). He is showing progress greater than the doctor's had ever expected - he helps with putting on his clothes and bathing and with PT. Everyone tells me how sweet he is and that they love caring for him. If you are unable to visit, they have video chat opportunities. You will need to set this up at a prior time (usually you can video chat the same day). We are having great experiences with Genesis Healthcare. I feel fortunate the the staff cares as much about my brother as we do. Thank you everyone, Colleen.
