Do not let your family member go into skilled nursing. The assisted living part is marginal. The skilled nursing is a joke. Per , Ohio law it should be one nurse per four patients, However, in skilled nursing, it’s one nurse per nine patients. I’m thankful that I was there for my father every night that he was there because the service completely sucked. Granted, the nurses were kind when they finally got around to coming in however they were completely overwhelmed. There was no communication whatsoever. It’s like the right hand didn’t know what the left hand was doing. When questioned about certain things there is blame, and no accountability. I do have to say that Amina and Latasha were amazing. The rest of the staff, I can’t really speak on that. Well I can, but it wouldn’t be kind so I’m just gonna leave it at the two nurses that seemed to actually care about my father. When my father was having heart pain, apparently they called me at midnight and didn’t leave a message… Which I thought was completely unprofessional. It was just a bad experience all around. I would recommend to anybody reading this review to take your loved one to an outside skilled nursing facility. Clearly they’re overworked and underpaid, and we lose loved ones because of their inefficiency and unprofessionalism. Shame on you🤮

Patio or other fully independent living, and minimal medical care (medication distribution or minimal physical therapy) were a great experience! As my parents began to need additional medical support it has been increasingly problematic.<br><br>Post Covid (Dad passed) mom has needed more medical support due to a major spine fracture and surgeries, plus bowel issues resulting in a colostomy bag.<br><br>Mom is mobile, mentally pretty good, speaks fine etc... but WG has been unable to meet her basic care needs. Working with managment, we hear concern and interst in developing care solutions etc... but literally days later will find mom covered in feces from a leaking or overfull stoma bag. The medical aids are friendly to us, but seem unwilling or able to demonstrate any proactive care, like actually checking mom's bag, asking if she's had breakfast, or most critically, cleaning her up within in reasonable timeframe when the bag leaks (liquid stool is extremely irritating to skin!)<br><br>Unless you are able to visit daily to physically check your loved one, I would not recommend this location for any services requiring daily medical care beyond distribution of medication, and checking vitals.<br><br>5 stars for fully independent living, no medical concerns.<br><br>2 stars for any person requiring regular supportive care*<br><br>*My feeling is that the medical support fails at the level of nursing assistents and aids who may lack actual training, and appear to lack proactive and SUPPORTIVE oversight. Clearly finding qualified personnel who are willing and able to work for minimal hourly wages is becoming an increasing challenge. One would expect this to improve at these high end facilities, sadly this does not seem to be the case at WG.
