Hope Cooperative Care

Nice environment with the management needing to improve their skills. A major flaw is they don't find out each side of the story. They do not implement age appropriate for example not letting people date. Also their day program is a joke. Diana on the other hand is an excellent cook.

I am a behavioral home health nurse for an agency. Unfortunately I have to go to group homes and facilities that honestly breaks my heart to leave the individuals I care for in that setting. The first time I walked into Hope I felt like it was the Martha Stuart of behavioral health. All of us are exposed to individuals with behavioral health issues being family, friends or ourselves. We have to remember that someone who is being judged against is not always the guilty. Would you blame them for being less than human? No, as humans we understand that people go through things that change them either physically, organically or situationally. Some families cant care for their loved ones in their home so a place like Hope that provides a loving family non sexual or violent atmosphere is so comforting. Prejudice and descimination is very apparent on the block of Ave C and 5th. Education about the true disability and disease process is in great need for those neighbors who are ignorant when it comes to someone with behavioral health disease. It is projected that behavioral health will be the greatest need for care within the next 20 years. So sad that prejudice people voice their opinion without the education available still exist even in the year of 2018.

After coming across and then reading the reviews of Hope Cooperative and seeing the negativity of some people or should I say, false claims that was made against the facility. I too, have a family member that is living there. Since day one, when we went to inquire about moving our sister/sister in-law there, we met Dave and Sarah along with some of the staff members and while there we told them what we wanted or expected of the facility and staff. Since then all of our concerns were met or exceeded. As far as getting ahold of Dave or Sarah I would sometimes have to leave a voicemail and they would always return my call when they could. We have been through other facilities with our family member and to date this one ranks #1 with me. As far as cleanliness goes in the facility, I have seen nothing but clean halls, bathrooms and dining areas. I have never witnessed debris laying around inside or outside the facility. I have witnessed the untidiness of our loved ones room though. So her room isnt picked up or she doesnt make her bed everyday. The residents are happy there, but more importantly our sister is happy there and to me she is being taken care of. I feel this is the place for her. I will give this facility a rating of 5 stars because they deserve it.
