The Creston Senior Living

I don't understand the bad reviews for this place citing bad care or staff. Seems nothing more than bitter old staff. My Mom has been a resident of the Oddfellows Home for about 7 weeks. I see her 1-2 times/week. So, I see a lot. The building needs a little love. But it's purely aesthetic. It's actually a really cool building! Beautiful atrium in the middle with a library and plenty of nooks to enjoy a book and a big livingroom if you're feeling social. My favorite things: The staff. Seriously. From director to CNA, to cleaning folx...just stellar and sweet. They really CARE. Mom has cognitive issues and memory issues. They have been superb about accommodating her, communicating with us, and just everything was so easy with them. My wife and I have been looking at assisted living facilities for 3 years because my parents needed help finding a new place, then not. It was a mess. Anyway, I saw plenty of beautiful fancy places. But ultimately the director had ONE INTEREST. $$$$ My parents lived in a fancy for-profit franchise for 6 years and did not get the care they needed. The staff was not good at other places. Rude, always seemed to have better things to do and never communicated with me. I'm my mom's only child, now. My father passed away last year and my brother 20 years ago. So, it's very important that I find a place that has my Mom's best interests at heart. With her cognative issues she could be abused or neglected easily. She lived with me for 2 years until her care became more than we could handle. We looked at many small care homes, large ones, you name it. Mom is on Medicaid. Like most middle class working Americans her medical expenses ate up whatever savings she had. Finding a decent home for her was very difficult. Oddfellows didn't make us feel like a charity case or that we were lucky they'd take her. She's not quite ready for a nursing home, but needs help with meals and remembering things and she can't handle money or bills. From the meeting to

I got my cna2 with Lindas program about 5 years ago. I had Ginna as my instructor. Because of these wonderful days. I’ve gotten to work in wonderful specials units like. The Nicu, emergency department, and many more. Many of us have went to nursing school after, Ginna and Linda got us into some wonderful hospitals (due to the respect. These hospitals love Linda / Ginna students). You gain a long term friendships with your classmates (to this day I am friends with most to call my classmates).. I promise you. You will not regret it!

Horrible not enough staff had to wait long time to go to comode. Couldn't hold pee peed bed laid in it. Not a good place to come to.
