  My elderly father spent the last 7 weeks of his life at Viewcrest this last August - September.<br>I will never recommend or use this facility again!<br>They did not give attention to his breathing, comfort, cleanliness of skin, or need for pain relief. Two examples were putting on a nebulizer but never plugging it in, and taking days to put a special mattress topper on his bed that was ordered in by hospice. (It just sat on the floor next to his bed) When questioned about these things blame was always given to someone else.<br>The staff made promises to us about his care but did not give it. My father suffered unnecessarily as a result.

  I feel like this is not something I should have to post here but everything was great at 1st my dad loved it here. He passed away the way he wish. The staff was good and keeping me in the loop with me being out of state. But some of his personal items went missing. Im not getting may answers from staff. My dad passed away and I don't even have his wallet the one thing he carried on him daily. They can keep the money but his wallet and ID would had been nice to have as a grieving child. Very disappointing.

  Thankful for facilities like this for our loved ones. Energetic staff. Would recommend. They were very helpful and supportive while my uncle was there.

• Nicole Price ★☆☆☆☆ April 14, 2021

  Do no recommend putting your loved ones here. Poor resident care, rude administrative staff. It took months to get the care records asked for.

• Kelly Wait ★★★★★ April 8, 2021

  My father stayed here for a short term visit. He was very impressed with the nursing department and the therapy department. His room was kept clean and organized. He also liked the food at this facility. I would recommend this facility for any loved ones seeking short or long term care. Also my father commented on how all of the staff were very friendly and caring.
