The Commons on Marice

This facility is like the Ritz Carleton of nursing homes. Well landscaped and gorgeous plantings outside and very luxurious inside. Gives you a feeling of being in a 5 star hotel. Residents all seem well attended to and happy. The unit of the person we visited was spacious and cheerful. She is very happy with her surroundings and pleased with the meals and staff...

As a former home care companion to one of the residents living there, I can tell you that the building is beautiful inside and out but the level of care they receive is nothing short of neglect. Often my client's medications were given late..hours late, and even then only after multiple complaints. The staff is supposed to do a daily well check, had they done their jobs, she would most likely still be alive.

My family's experience with The Commons on Marice runs deep. We have had both of my parents living there this past year plus. My father passed away on June 29th, while in Hospice in his room at the Commons. The care provided to him by nursing staff, administration, recreation staff, and everyone there was Hallmark Hall of Fame Movie-Level excellent. Truly. I could not believe the level of competence, compassion, and care. EVERY ONE of the staff who came in to check on Dad, check on us, come off of their 'day off' (seriously!) to see how he was doing in his final days and hours there....was fabulous. Their care of him while he was healthy was wonderful, too. And in his final days and moments, they joined us in tears and holding his hand. The love, the care ~ is second to none. I would do a commercial for The Commons. I am very serious. My Father died in the most loving place possible. The people there are people with whom I would want anyone who has the need for care, to spend their final days.My Mom is still there. No place on Earth we'd rather have her.Thank-you for reading!
