Summary

Peter Becker Community is a facility that has received both positive and negative feedback from residents and their families.

One reviewer mentioned that there is no full-time doctor on staff, which can be problematic for those who need immediate attention. It was reported that a family member's health declined during their stay at Peter Becker Community, with no proactive measures being taken to address their worsening condition. Despite efforts to transfer the individual back to the hospital, they unfortunately passed away after just two days.

However, other reviews paint a more positive picture of the community. It is described as friendly and clean, with an abundance of activities available for residents to enjoy. The food is deemed acceptable, although some felt that the living spaces could be larger. The presence of a church within the facility is appreciated by visitors as it adds a sense of celebration and community upon entering.

One reviewer mentions that while Peter Becker Community is not necessarily a continuing care community, it does offer an à la carte approach to care services. This may work well for some individuals who have specific needs or preferences but may not be ideal for everyone. The rooms are described as smaller than other places, which may not be appealing to all potential residents.

Despite mixed opinions about the accommodations, many reviewers commend the staff's attentiveness and commitment to meeting the needs of the elderly residents. There seems to be a genuine effort from administrators down to take time with each individual and make them feel valued and cared for. The community also collaborates with the local YMCA, offering free services and incorporating them into resident activities.

Overall, Peter Becker Community receives praise for its attractive appearance, extensive activities options, and good food. However, improvements in medical care accessibility and room size have been suggested by some reviewers. The facility is known for its involvement in hosting events such as senior expos and flower shows, which helps foster a sense of inclusion and pride among residents.
