Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 I've read a couple of places that the nursing homes/assisted living places run by religious groups are better than the 'public' ones. I know if I had the choice I'd pick one run by the Amish or the Mennonites(SP). The one in the MD/PA area have a great reputation. Anyone else heard anything like that?

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Hi THeresa, The NHs operated by churches in our area seem to be regarded as some of the best, but also the most expensive and some were exclusive - only for their denomination. Unfortunately, we tried a NH that we thought was Methodist, only to find out after that it 'was', and it still had a couple ministers sitting on the board, but in reality had been turned into a corporation and was very budget conscious, short staffed, etc. Their literature said 'Eden Alternative' which should have indicated dementia trained staff, but unfortunately they were not. I agree about the Amish and Mennonites. We have a very nice Mennonite community in our county, and they were the first people I contacted when looking for home help for my mom. Unfortunately, none of the Mennonites in our area work in the caregiving field. Peggy > > Kath, > > > > The nursing home is in Dallas Texas and is called C.C. Young.
