Lutheran Community at Telford

My father lived here for the last 10 months of his life. His stay was both in assisted living and skilled nursing. The staff was up-front about everything and very helpful in understanding costs, benefits and limitations to what they do. The nursing staff was generally wonderful. They took a great interest in my father and got to know him very well. My father considered some of them his friends. Communication about my father's condition and progress was excellent. They were usually acting on his behalf to resolve issues before I asked them to and when they did, they always let me know what was happening. Their skilled nursing facilities are the nicest that I have visited with semi-private rooms. Other facilities have two people per room separated by a curtain while there is a real wall between people in LCT. When the end neared for my father, the nurses were kind enough to let me know it was coming so my family could prepare and visitors from far away had time to visit. Having a family member need to stay in a nursing facility is never an ideal situation, but LCT made it as ideal and painless as possible. The worst thing that I can say is that some nursing staff is less than freindly. They do their job, but can be cold, but they are a minority. Their staff is generally excellent and I cannot recommend a better place if you are looking for a good home for someone you care about.

Hardly any activities for the residents. They stick residents in front of a TV all day. On the bright side it is very clean and landscaped well.
