    Review

    Arbour Nursing Home has received a mix of positive and negative reviews from visitors and residents alike. One individual, currently residing at the facility, expressed dissatisfaction with their temporary stay. They claimed that the care provided by the nursing crew at night was horrible, citing an incident where a nurse changed their vitamins without permission resulting in stomach pain. Despite this negative experience, they acknowledged that the nursing home overall was clean and not entirely lacking in good care.

    On a more positive note, another reviewer praised Arbour Health Care facility for its welcoming atmosphere and cleanliness. The staff was described as friendly and the residents appeared happy. The location of the facility was also commended due to its convenient access to city transportation, allowing family members to visit easily at any time of day.

    The wide range of activities offered at Arbour impressed another visitor. From lounge areas to special parties and even shopping trips, there seemed to be something for everyone. Bingo was specifically mentioned as an activity that one resident particularly enjoyed. Accessible services such as barber and salon facilities were also appreciated by both visitors and potential residents.

    The well-maintained grounds with ample outdoor seating areas provided a pleasant environment for residents to enjoy nature. The facility accommodated various levels of mobility, including those requiring walkers or wheelchairs, as well as individuals with dementia issues.

    In contrast, one individual's visit to see their neighbor's brother left them with a negative impression of Arbour Nursing Home. They noticed an unpleasant smell upon entering the building and discovered their neighbor's brother's room to be filthy with food trays left unattended since breakfast time. This experience led them to believe that proper care and attention were lacking at this facility.

    Despite receiving mixed reviews, Arbour Nursing Home offers a variety of services and activities that appear appealing to potential residents. It is crucial for individuals considering this facility for themselves or their loved ones to carefully weigh these positive aspects against the negative experiences shared by some. Ultimately, each person's unique needs and preferences should guide their decision in choosing the most suitable nursing home.
