This was the second place I moved my mom. It was tough for her, leaving here home. She hasnt been pleasant to be around, especially if you happen to be a nurse. I have the private numbers of an administrator and her head nurse. They call with updates since I live out of state. They are working hard at getting her pain under control. They care. From floor crew to administration everyone has been kind to her. Yes there have been rough patches, but I would not hesitate to recommend this place. It needs some updating and the furniture is rough is the most negative thing I can say. 2nd floor nursing staff is the BEST. Special thanks to Chris, Christine and Darlene and CNAs John and Ariana.

I decided to take my mom here after being released from the hospital. BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE! I was told that she would be given a shower often. NOT at all and she was there for almost a month. I was told that there was a 1 nurse/2 aid per 15 patient ratio NOT! There were times that she didn't see a nurse until night meds. I had to clean her room and even bring a garbage bag from home because a janitor was not there on the weekend and the aid didn't know where they were kept. Mind you I had to empty the garage myself. I can go on and on... Now almost four months later my mom received a bill for the rental of a wheelchair that we were specifically told "we will take care of that for her". I tried to reach out to "The Director" several times after week 2 to express my concerns and of course no answer! She said that was her personal cell that I could always reach her at anytime. PLEASE DON'T TAKE YOUR LOVED ONE HERE! I took my mother home and nursed her back myself!

I am a resident here at Munster. I want to give a big shout out to Linda Cassidy. She has been a huge help with me during my stay. She went beyond the call of duty. Chris the unit nurse is an excellent nurse. She does her job well. If you need help she is always right there her and Linda. The staff has been great. I have made some close friends while living here. This place is great all around and I have made it my home.
