Review

Westbrook Assisted Living and Memory Care is receiving a mix of reviews from residents and their families, showcasing both the commendable aspects and areas that require improvement in this facility located in Upper Sandusky, Ohio. The community is known for its cozy private apartments, which include features such as a kitchenette with a fridge and microwave, walk-in showers, closets for clothing storage, and ample room for personal furnishings such as beds and chairs. For many residents, including one reviewer who just recently transitioned from an extended hospital stay, Westbrook offers a sense of safety and well-being. With three meals provided each day and assistance available on call, residents generally feel well cared for by a staff that is described as friendly and dedicated.

However, while many express contentment with the services offered at Westbrook, concerns have been raised regarding its capabilities to manage residents with advanced stages of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. One review explicitly pointed out the absence of a dedicated memory care unit within the facility. Families worry that as their loved ones' conditions progress, they might not receive adequate specialized support necessary for their unique needs. During tours of the facility, prospective residents or families have noted that although rooms are generally nice upon first glance, there could be inconsistencies in maintenance—some report seeing spaces that hadn't been cleaned or prepared properly after prior occupants moved out.

Dining has also emerged as an important point of feedback among reviewers. While some have praised the meals served at Westbrook and expressed appreciation for the variety offered—even sharing positive dining experiences during visits with family—others reported a decline in food quality over time. Concerns were voiced particularly about leadership roles overlapping; specifically mentioning how one manager was handling both kitchen operations and activities programming could detract from focusing on one area effectively. Suggestions were made to incorporate more sophisticated programs for resident activities instead of exercises reminiscent of early childhood education.

On another positive note, many families emphasized the heartwarming connection between staff members and residents at Westbrook. Reportedly, caregivers often go “above & beyond” to ensure comfort not only for those residing there but also extend kindness towards visiting family members dealing with their loved ones’ health issues. This dedication is illustrated through personal accounts where staff routinely maintain open lines of communication concerning any concerns raised by family members—a vital aspect when balancing timelines associated with healthcare decisions.

Yet despite these positive sentiments towards caregiving quality at Westbrook, several reviews highlighted challenges related to staffing consistency. High turnover rates among personnel were mentioned by multiple reviewers who noted it was common across assisted living facilities overall; nonetheless, it contributed to worries about stability in care provision for residents who thrive on routine relationships with caregivers. One particular reviewer found solace in the fact that her mother received excellent support through various stresses associated with dementia but remained cautious about changes within staff dynamics.

In conclusion, while nearly all reviewers agree that Westbrook Assisted Living provides a supportive environment marked by thoughtful amenities like private apartments equipped for independence paired with essential assistance when needed—the facility's limitations around specialized memory care services cast shadows over its overall appeal for families seeking exhaustive levels of support as conditions evolve over time. Additionally—as management strives to balance operational efficiency while elevating resident satisfaction—it remains essential to engage continually with feedback from current residents’ experiences alongside exploring innovative solutions catering toward sustaining enriching living standards throughout evolving healthcare landscapes.
