My mom spent her last days here on hospice. The staff were very kind and helpful. Medication was administered promptly. Housekeeping and maintenance were responsive to our needs. Nurses not only looked after my mom but her caregivers as well. It was as good of an experience as we could have hoped for in our phase of life.

Left Walnut Grove for h0ome and unknowing to me, I carried a case of bed bugs. Also, although all property of mine was clearly marked with my name, a bath sheet, collared shirt, and king size pillow case were missing. When you first arrive at Walnut Grove, they take away any over-the-counter (OTC) medications you have. They are supposed to return these items when you leave. I never received my OTC items. There is an outside area on the north side of the building that is supposed to be a common area all share. I found out very quickly the smokers had taken over the area and they refused to stop smoking when a non-smoker was present. Some of the staff were pleasant, but most were indifferent. While in your room, if you paged an employee because you needed help, you were out of luck as the employees were horrible at returning pages. This was particularly irksome if you needed an employees help to get to the toilet. You are supposed to be bathed every two days. I was bathed at most once a week and only after being a pest to get a bath and it was usually around 2 - 3AM.when I was taken to the shower.
