Overall Review of Hoeger House

caveat 13 reviews mention this

Call lights can take a long time

Some residents say call lights for help can be answered very slowly.

A recurring concern is delays when residents or family tried to get restroom assistance or other help, including reports of waiting 30–50 minutes, hours, or longer. Several reviewers connect the issue to understaffing or slow response, and a few describe nights when they felt a call light was not answered. Others acknowledge they were cared for but mention occasional waits depending on how busy things were.

Therapy support stands out

Many reviews praise the physical and occupational therapy team.

Multiple residents and families describe PT and OT as supportive, knowledgeable, and focused on recovery. Some reviewers specifically highlight therapy that helped them improve after surgery or a rehab stay, while others say the therapy approach and communication could be better, including concerns about attentiveness and kindness. Even in negative reviews, therapy quality is sometimes contrasted with concerns about nursing responsiveness and overall coordination.

Food is sometimes hit or miss

Dining gets mixed feedback, with some residents happy with meals.

Several reviews mention the food in positive ways, including liking the meals and appreciating options served in the room.

Cleanliness is a dividing point

Reviews about cleanliness range from consistently clean to questionable.

Some residents and families praise the facility as clean, including mentions of a well-kept environment. Others describe issues like dirty rooms, unanswered cleaning until later, concerns about stains or crumbs, or not feeling confident that cleanliness was being maintained. A few negative reviews also mention the condition of linens or the appearance of shared areas as part of their overall dissatisfaction.

Many residents describe staff members as caring and helpful.

Across reviews, families often say nurses and other staff were kind, professional, and responsive to questions.
