Overall Review of Ely Manor

common 29 reviews mention this

Staff kindness shows up often

Many residents and families describe the staff as kind and responsive to day-to-day needs.

Across multiple reviews, people highlight staff who are helpful, polite, and compassionate toward residents and families. Several comments also describe nurses and aides as friendly, with good teamwork and support during rehab or medical transitions. Even when reviews raise concerns elsewhere, a number of reviewers still single out caregivers for care and professionalism.

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Cleanliness concerns come up

Some reviewers report unpleasant odors and dirty rooms.

A few reviews describe the facility smelling strongly of urine or dirty diapers and mention an overall feeling of uncleanliness. Others report rooms being dirty, and one review adds that private information was visible on computer screens left in a hallway. These issues appear in the context of family concerns about care quality and facility upkeep.

caveat 9 reviews mention this

Phone and call light issues

Residents and families describe trouble getting timely answers or help.

Several reviews say the community does not return phone calls or does not answer the phone, including on weekends. Others describe delayed responses to requests for help, including not answering call lights and long waits for assistance. This is especially notable because the community states it provides a 24-hour call system and supervision, yet reviewers still report missed or delayed responses.

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Medication and meal follow-through

Reviews mention missed medication times and meals not matching preferences.

Some reviews describe pain medication not being given when expected, including one case where medication was delayed enough to leave a resident in tears. Others mention medication management problems, such as slow pharmacy timing or difficulty getting prescribed doses handled. On the dining side, one review specifically calls out pork being served despite a stated dietary restriction, and a couple of reviews also complain about food quality.

common 3 reviews mention this

Rehab therapy earns praise

Therapy during rehabilitation is a positive highlight for some families.

A few reviews mention rehabilitation experience and call out the therapy department or rehab care as especially strong. Others describe rehabilitation happening after an injury or hospital transfer, with families reporting that care and compassion supported recovery. At the same time, other reviews include rehab-related complaints, so experiences are not consistent across all reviewers.
