Golden LivingCenter - Valparaiso

After my brother was diagnosed with glioblastoma we got him into Golden Living Valpairso along with hospice. He lived for another 11 months which no one expected. It was very obvious they cared for himsome of the staff cried when he passed. His daughter and I knew we could trust them to take good care of him--always clean and a different change of clothes every day. They appreciated that we visited him and responded to their requests, like he needed winter shoes. We consider ourselves very fortunate that we were able to place him there. I wish everyone could have the experience we did.

This place would of gotten a zero, very rude receptionist, pushing mask when she didn't have one on. The food service lady was really rude to my grandma making a comment about her weight. This place maybe clean but the staff needs to change.

Insurance tried to send my mom here for 2 weeks. First, she had a tracheostomy that the nurse had no idea how to suction. She had to call her boss to come in and show her. The nurse ratio was one nurse to 24 patients. And they expected my mom, who needed to use a walker, to drag a 50lb oxygen tank on wheels with her when she needed to use the bathroom. Have they never used a concentrator?! After the nurse missed giving my mom her afternoon and evening medications we called a transport ambulance and arranged to care for my mom at home. At least she would get her meds on time, make it to the toilet, and get her trach suctioned when it needed to be. I was better able to care for her as a lay person than this place was.

I love this nursing home I have been involved in ministry for 10 or 12 years in nursing homes.... And now, my husband suffered a severe stroke at a very young age and was in a nursing home. This is a small nursing home but it's wonderful. My husband has a lot of behavioral issues and they have been so good with him. The director, Jen, has been so good and needs my husband right where he needs to be met at. When I read bad reviews it makes me feel sad because I don't think people realize what up wonderful facility this is. I would recommend this highly
