  • Be careful, and have your eyes open when you get there.

    The facility is very nice, and their maintenance of it is adequate. The staff is nice, but they are very inadequately staffed. My complaint was with their poor care of my loved one, and I would not recommend them. They did not have nearly the number of personnel they needed to care for all their residents. When your loved one can't feed themselves, get dressed by themselves, go to the bathroom by themselves, that's not a good situation. They really need to have patients who can do for themselves, and my loved one could not. They accepted him into the facility, and I don't feel like they ever should have with the amount of care that he needed. He declined every day that he was there. And they were not helpful in those last days, even though they said they would be. They were the professionals, and they never even mentioned or recommended hospice, which could have eased those last days. Because of that, it was a terrible ending to his life. He had a couple of very painful bedsores at the end. We had problems with them with long term care insurance. It was just a very bitter experience.

  • Compassion and caring

    We chose LaurelHurst & LaurelWoods because it was during covid and they allowed us to do an in person visit. We fell in love with the staff. We felt they had so much compassion for their memory care residents. They do offer private and shared rooms but my mom is in a private room and it is plenty of space for what she needs. It is very convenient to the hospital if needed and it is just a great place with awesome people. I would recommend to others looking.
