What Families Think

Most reviewers praise the rehabilitation therapy team and describe the nursing staff as attentive, compassionate, and professional, with one visiting RN specifically noting consistently high-quality care. However, one detailed report describes a serious ethical breach by a staff member involving a resident's finances and estate after his death, which the family says went unaddressed by leadership.

The Good

  • Physical therapy team praised for rehab progress
  • Nursing and aide staff called compassionate and professional
  • Clean, organized rooms and common areas
  • Praised by a visiting RN for consistent quality of care
  • Attentive janitorial staff noted for cleanliness

The Bad

  • One serious report of a staff member misusing power of attorney over a resident's finances
  • Family says a written complaint to the board went unanswered

The Gibraltar Manner is part of wellsprings Lutheran, The building manager that took upon herself to get POA on a resident that already had POA with his family, she seen his decline in health took POA, had put her husband's name on his bank account and life insurance policy, Kept his death from the family, Put wrong information on the death certificate took all his personal belongings, And it was all reported to Wellsprings in fact a letter was written to the board with no response, And this person still is working there as a building manager, what about policy , I tried to get a policy to no prevail, To all out there Please keep up with your elders so this doesn't happen to you, This man had a will that was done at Wellsprings in Monroe, and a employee with them does this horrible horrible thing to a family .

This facility does not receive the credit they deserve. After a bad experience with another local facility, I relocated my dad here. All staff members are pleasant and compassionate. The care they provide is top tier and genuine. They have been amazing and provided more resources that will help my dad in this past month than we received at the other facility over the year he was there. I would definitely recommend this facility to anyone who is looking for excellent care for their loved one. The grounds are beautiful and the rooms and common areas are clean and organized. My dad resides in long term care and has a private room. From the first tour to now, I can honestly say we are very pleased and most importantly my dad is extremely happy as well.

As an RN/MSN who visits the Lutheran home 2X weekly for the past 2 years, I can speak to the quality of care that patients receive, as being top tier. The facility staff to include everyone from aides, Nurses, social workers, and volunteers… all the way up to the administrator, seemly go above and beyond to ensure patient satisfaction and safety. I would recommend any family unsure about nursing home life to highly consider Wellspring Lutheran home in Monroe, MI.

As for the Therapy crew you ladies I can’t thank you enough for my treatment plan and giving me the lil push!!!!
