We loved this option

Clean, caring, and well-run. Smaller facility so the residents don't get lost in the shuffle. Lots of activity options to engage residents. Bus available for transportation. Bistro with snack/meal options available outside regular meal times. So many things to like about this facility - just wish they had more for skilled nursing level of care to avoid an eventual move out.

Ask more questions; do more research

One of the things I'd share with others is to interview other communities and their staff before committing. Tennyson has a real staffing problem. The building and the facility itself are fine, there are several people who are nice and friendly. But some of the care staff who are directly caring for our loved one, have been questionable. I know right now with unemployment rates finding people to work has been difficult - but when caring for someone who can't care for themselves, hiring people just to hire people might make you settle for "not the best". I've seen some questionable things with the care staff that I didn't like. Others in the family have said the same thing, so it boils down to their care staff. Administration is excellent, but the registered nurse who was in charge was poor. They recently let her go and replaced her, so that's a good thing. There were some things the care staff did that I was not real happy about and we addressed those issues with admin there. They did take some swift action and we've seen a lot of good improvement, but it started out rough. For example: we visited and my loved one's room was filthy, there was so much dust accumulating you could write your name in the furniture with it. There was a lot of clutter with towels and clothes on the bathroom floor, and full baskets of dirty laundry. One time we were there and my loved one was the only person in the common area. The TV was on and the staff were watching things that were not suitable for the residents. The show that was on was for the staff, and not something my loved one would want to enjoy or watch. For what we pay - what the seniors want to watch, should be what's on the screen. We've voiced our issues and they did take swift action and corrected most of it. Our loved one's room is very clean and tidy now, they've also changed out some of the staff. It's gotten better; but when we went and interviewed initially we only saw 1 or 2 of the staff and didn't have the opportunity to see who would be taking care of our loved ones needs. So I'd recommend others to really investigate the place as a whole. Another thing I've noticed are the meals. My loved one has difficulty getting to the dining room, so some meals are brought to their room in a box. There has been a question of, how warm are they when they get to the room, etc.? I would recommend Tennyson to invite a couple family members to have a meal there, to make sure it's food that their loved one would enjoy. Overall, we have no intent on moving our loved one, we'd like them to stay. We have a good relationship with the admin lady and it is getting better. Although it did indeed start out a bit rough and a little questionable in the beginning; they did explain how hard it is to find people. Regardless, we've seen some good turnaround so far.

Disappointed

The staff in memory care are not properly educated on how to work with the residents and they are not staffed accordingly either, the staff to resident ratio is insufficient for the amount of residents that they have. In terms of the cleanliness, my loved one had feces on the shower chair and when I came back to visit a few days later it was still there. We have had many concerns, especially with medications. I will say that administration has been responsive in trying to get to the source of the problems.

My Tour Experience at Tennyson Retirement Living

They only had studio rooms available and this was a drawback. The building felt cold in nature to me during the tour.
