I did not find this place conducive for Healing after being here for five days. Part of my problem is that stress goes up my back like a barometer creating pain As it goes. Doesn't matter where I've been, nobody's OK About giving you medication (Narcotics)Without first giving you a hassle! I would never come back to this place, Nor would I ever recommend it to anyone else!

They took excellent care of my mom Sara Bement. The CNA's and Nurses were very attentive to all residents. It ALWAYS smelled good and was always very clean. When my mom was put on hospice everyone was always checking on her. She was loved. One CNA stayed after her shift with my mom, when she passed that same person gave me a ride to Wolcott Hall. Im happy my mom was loved and was taken care of. Thank you to all the staff!!!

Decent food, hit or miss on aids and nursing staff. Therapy friendly. Could be cleaner and updated. Long term residents seem to enjoy it. My stay was short and different than mosts experiences.

From my experience, Wolcott Hall nursing home is one of the best facilities for short and long term care for the elderly in the area. It is evident the staff really cares for each resident, including my aunt who stayed here for the latter half of this year. They made her feel comfortable and well cared-for, along with patiently answering any and all questions that came about during her stay. Her therapy plan was thorough and well thought out, as she continued to heal and progress all the way through her discharge. The building rests on a picturesque landscape that makes you feel at home, something my aunt feared she would be without upon admittance. She always enjoyed the various activities her and the residents participated in and ravenously looked forward to every meal! I would highly recommend Wolcott Hall nursing center to anyone who is in search of the highest quality level of care for their loved one.

I was a patient at Wolcott Hall for 2 weeks. From the moment I was admitted until I was discharged I felt very much at home. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The dietary department bent over backwards to accommodate my dietary requirements. The physical therapy and occupational therapy are both top notch. I can't think of one person who did not do their best to make my stay as comfortable as possible. I will be having another surgery in the near future and I can't think of anywhere else I rather be than Wolcott Hall. I'd like to thank each and every one of the staff for their excellent care.
