i cannot express my gratitude enough to all the staff here especially when covid hit. It amazes me how you have been able to keep my mom and the rest of the residents from getting this virus! You are doing a wonderful job! My mom has lived here for over 2 yrs now and is very happy which makes me very happy. I live out of state and really appreciate the e-mails everyday, they are informative and funny (chuckle of the day) and I love all the pictures.keep up the great work!

Whitcomb House could improve on communication surrounding my father's care. They did a poor job with managing on any type of health needs. My father's own doctor has said she is frustrated with the lack of communication on the part of the community staff. For example, during the Covid-19 pandemic, it has been a nightmare. My father who is blind and deaf has been unable to leave his small room for several weeks. He was stationary for so long it was becoming detrimental to his health. They have not done a good job with communicating about about what they are doing to prevent the spread of Covid-19. They have only recently required staff to wear masks or protective gear; other communities have did so a while ago. I ask them to check on him and they say they are, but based on what my father is telling me, they do not seem to actually be doing so. We are also not allowed to see him at all and they have done little to accommodate for social distancing guidelines. Even before Covid-19, I had to request they come in and clean his restroom as they were not actively cleaning it when it needed. If you cannot advocate for yourself, it is not a good place.

Clean, warm, cozy and so peaceful and quiet. I liked this facility very much. Pricing is good compared to others. My only hesitation is the lack of a memory care unit. I worry if my mother's dementia worsens that she may have to be moved again. I am still seriously considering this facility, though, because of how clean it is. Spotless attention to detail.
