It's never easy to have to watch a parent or other close relative go to a nursing home/physical rehabilitation facility, but they made everything as headache-free as possible. My dad and my aunt have both stayed here. My dad was a resident of their skilled nursing program, and my aunt was a resident of their physical rehabilitation program. They did an excellent job taking care of my dad, who had advanced stage lung and bone cancer. They also did a great job of taking care of my aunt, for a few weeks, before she could return home after suffering from a stroke. Everyone working there really cares, and some have been employed there for decades. It truly felt like they became part of our family for a while. This place might look modest, but the staff does pay attention to every detail. I've worked for a nursing home whose facilities are more high-end, and I can assure you, the staff at Lacombe Nursing Centre are far more loving and considerate. They even do the laundry for their residents, so families do not have to worry about that. When my dad had to stay in the hospital for almost a week, due to complications stemming from his cancer treatments, the staff made his bed, kept his room clean, and put a fresh tray of food out for him on his bed everyday, at meal time, in case he returned and was hungry. (They would obviously not leave it there for too long for cleanliness reasons. It was just touch-and-go as to when he would return.) They also provide rides to and from all medical appointments for their residents. Also, I've never heard one staff member say anything negative about a resident to another staff member in the hallway, nurses station, or outside. They truly care about the dignity of their residents. That kind of professionalism is something you cannot put a price on. When my dad did not respond well to radiation therapy, and had to go into hospice care, the administrators made that process easy for our family, too. They even let me bring my dog, who

My husband was in Lacombe Skilled Nursing for two weeks after emergency surgery. The facility is tired, but it is very clean. The staff members are considerate and kind to all. The administration is very helpful. The physical therapists and occupational therapists are very thorough. Everyone that works there wants to see the patients get better. They want to help their skilled nursing patients get home. I recommend this facility.
